Nothing enhances your hat style quite like adding a custom leather patch. These versatile embellishments can transform an ordinary hat into a stylish statement piece. There are many different types of leather patches for hats, so there are options for every style and taste.

Types Of Leather Patches For Hats

The most common type of leather patch is the classic iron-on patch. These patches have an adhesive backing that you simply iron onto your hat. These patches are available in all shapes and sizes, from as small as 2 inches up to 12 inches or more. Common designs include initial patches, animals, stars, and geometric shapes.

Embroidered leather patches are another popular option. These leather patches have embroidery stitched directly onto the leather, often in matching or complimentary thread colors. Embroidered patches tend to add a more detailed and custom touch to your hat.

You can find leather hat patches that are cut into specific shapes designed for hat embellishment. These patches often have die cut notches so they can fit perfectly around the seams and curves of your hat.

For a truly unique look, choose a custom leather patch where you design the shape, size, and design details. You can add initials, wording, numbers, insignias, logos – pretty much any design element you can imagine. Custom leather hat patches offer infinite creativity.

How To Attach A Leather Patch To Your Hat

Most leather hat patches will come with adhesive backing. Follow these steps to attach your patch:

1. Remove the backing paper from the adhesive and position the patch where you want it on your hat.
2. Firmly press down the entire surface of the patch to activate the adhesive.
3. For an irreversible bond, use an iron on the low setting to heat the adhesive backing and activate it even more.
4. Let the patch sit for at least 24 hours before washing your hat.

Alternatively, you can attach your leather patch using sewing or rivets. This gives you a removable bond that allows you to move or reposition the patch later on.
