Where can I order the best custom embroidered hats?

We may be biased, but we think you came to the right place. Have more specific questions about how to get started? Contact us.

How do you make a custom embroidery design?

We take your beautiful work of art, digitize it, and enter it into our software. From there, we optimize the stitching by choosing one of two types: Satin stitching (which stitches back and forth only and is used for smaller areas) or fill stitching (in which the stitching direction can be adjusted to compensate for fabric structure and pulling).

What file types can I send my design to you in?

Staple visual files like PDF, EPS, or JPEG work. If you can send in a vector art file, though, it is preferred as we can easily manipulate it if adjustments based on threading need to be made.

How many colors can my embroidered design have?

An embroidered design can have up to 15 colors, but a practical application would be 7 to 8. Even then, that's still a little high—embroidery works best when it's simple and not muddled up by an overly busy design.

Why do custom hats take longer than other pieces?

While hats may seem easier from the outside because of their smaller size, some challenges come from bulk embroidering them. Due to the nature of machine embroidery, the garment used needs to be flattened to ensure stability and consistent outputs. While certain hat types (like beanies) can easily lay flat. Generally, any baseball cap cannot be flattened without sustaining some structural damage, so the process must be slowed down to avoid any mistakes. The extra time needed is worth it, though, we promise! We want to get the highest quality apparel and embroidery out to you—and tiny adjustments to the process ensure that.

How big can my design be?

Embroidery designs are typically smaller, but if you want to go big, keep it in the range of 10 x 10, 11, or 12 inches.

How much are custom embroidered hats?

Embroidery pricing is based solely on the stitch count and the garment itself. The bigger the design, the more stitches are used. The more stitches used, the higher the price.

Can you really embroider on any hat?

For the most part, yes! The only exception that comes to mind is hats with hard brims that encompass the whole hat—like a cowboy hat—because they would be too cumbersome to stabilize on the machine, especially since they can't be flattened like standard hats.

Does the embroidery affect the feel of the hat?

Smaller designs and lettering should not affect the feel of the hat since the backing prevents direct content to the thread while creating stability. Larger designs, though, have the chance of feeling cumbersome. This is especially so on "dad" or baseball hats since designs are directly on the forehead. Keep this in mind when creating your custom embroidery design!

Why custom embroidery on hats?

As we mentioned earlier, hats are a year-round piece to many ensembles. That level of versatility is perfect for showcasing a custom design at its highest level of exposure. Whether it's a new set of hats for a little league team, a collection of visors for a park's lifeguards, or an order of beanies for a gaming event, our custom embroidery will bring your design to life.

Make every hat a party hat

Whether it’s basic text, your brand’s logo, or a loud and colorful piece of art, hats offer a unique canvas for embroidery that can be both functional and trendy. The front of the cap makes for the most natural design location, but hats also offer a lot of room for thinking outside the box and getting creative with different embroidery locations—from the side of your head to the back and beyond.
