Can I get matching apparel with my custom hat? Matching branding across clothing items gives you a unified look and more mobile marketing. And depending on the manufacturer you use, you can have both custom hats and custom apparel that match in design, without the hassle of coordinating different companies.
What Are the Benefits of Matching Branded Apparel?
Branded apparel offers many benefits that can layer on top of those you already get for branding with hats. For example, your team will be easily recognizable with matching apparel, and the unified appearance can improve team unity.
- Visibility – Any branded apparel will increase the visibility of your business or cause, drawing more eyes to it.
- Camraidere – Build up team loyalty and unity with a look that lets everyone represent your culture.
- Mobility – Tied to visibility, because people will wear your apparel out and about, meaning your team will raise awareness while on the move.
- Versatility – Having multiple kinds of branded apparel means that it’s more likely for a wearer to have at least one branded article on, even if not the whole set.
- Merchandise Options – If there is demand, you can sell your branded apparel options to supporters.
What Branded Apparel Pairs With Custom Hats?
It’s hard to go wrong with any form of branded apparel to pair with your custom hat, but here are our top 4 choices:
#1: T-Shirts
- T-shirts are widely worn and can fit in multiple situations.
- They also provide a large space for logos when you are designing your custom t-shirt.
- With proper care, t-shirts can last and display your logo for a long time.
- T-shirts make great attire for special events!
#2: Button-Ups & Polos
- Button-ups and polos can give a more professional, formal look.
- Logo sizes are generally smaller, offering a more subtle pairing with a hat.
- Both of these work great with embroidery.
#3: Hoodies & Jackets
- Hoodies and Jackets are both excellent choices for colder weather.
- Each of them pair particularly well with beanies.
- As heavier clothing, they tend to be sturdy and longer-lasting than most other apparel options.
#4: Joggers
- Branding doesn’t have to end at the waistline!
- Stand out from brands that only advertise on shirts and hats.
- Joggers are a flexible clothing item, with wearers using them both for intense activity and relaxing downtime.
Non-Apparel Swag to Go Along With Custom Hats
Apparel isn’t the only thing you can match with your custom hat! There’s all kinds of swag you can take advantage of to brand with.
Patches
- Patches can be standalone, in addition to being attached to hats.
- Pick what to attach the patch to, and take even greater control of the customization.
- Multiple styles are available, including:
- Leather Patches – Durable and great for the outdoors
- PVC Patches – Unprecedented customization options
- Embroidered Patches – A 3D and textured look like none other
Backpacks
- Backpacks go beyond apparel by being a tool, too.
- Use many of the same customization options as for traditional apparel.
- As an added bonus, since people are likely to use the same backpack multiple times a week, they provide awareness even more consistently than most apparel.
Blankets
- Blankets have tremendous surface area to work with your logo/design on.
- For a winter-swag-set, consider combining a blanket, hoodie, and beanie.
- Blankets can serve a dual-purpose, either as a cozy bundle at home, or protection from the ground when you’re outdoors.
Promotional Products to Match Your Custom Hat
But that’s not all – you can go beyond fabrics and put your logo on even more items. Grow your brand with promotional products like water bottles, coolers, and pens:
Water Bottles
- These are great choices for active groups, like sports clubs.
- Even non-athletes can carry a water bottle around to stay hydrated.
- Many options are available, allowing for flexible pricing and performance.
Coolers
- Show your design at lunch, the grocery store, a picnic, and more.
- A step up from regularly lunch boxes, coolers will make your brand stand out.
