Custom Fitted Hats. When you’re looking to make a custom hat, you probably started by thinking about some key aspects of how the hat will look: The symbol, the colors, the what kind of visor it has – it’s easy to visualize the style of the hat. But what about the sizing?

What are Fitted Hats?
If you guessed that fitted hats can’t change size, you’d be correct. They’re hats that lack a size-adjusting strap in the back. Alternatively, you have snapbacks, which include a plastic strap that you can use to select the size you want.
Besides that, these hats can be very different from each other. Frequently, the backside of the hat will be solid (as opposed to mesh), but this isn’t a gurantee: For example, one of our trucker caps has a mesh backing but not an adjustable strap.
Fitted Hat Customization Options – Logo Application
If you are designing the ultimate fitted hat, keep in mind, you’ll have to decide on a logo application method that fits the hat, while still standing out in Glendale, AZ. There are four main options available, the first two are great for fitted hats:
1 Embroidery Logo Application:
Embroidery consists of sewing thread into the structure of the hat. Embroidery is our top recommendation for getting your design onto a custom fitted hat, because:
- It creates a textured effect unlike any other method.
- Embroidery is a historic stylistic choice, and it has a look that goes well with fitted hats in Glendale, AZ.
- Because it’s woven into the hat, embroidery decoration is long-lasting, an important factor if there’s a chance you’ll do any running around in this hat (common for fitted hats).
2 Patches Logo Application:
Patches are miniature, standalone versions of your logo. When using them for custom fitted hats, here’s what makes them pair well:
- Custom patches can take a lot of wear before needing replacement. These last a while.
- You can pick from a variety of materials, from PVC to leather.
- There are tons of options to pick from and customize, beyond the other methods.
3 Screen Printing Logo Application
Screen printing – Screen printing directly applies ink to the hat using whatever image you decided as a logo. For custom fitted hats, it’s not always the top option; however, depending on your needs, it might be best for you:
- If you’re looking to purchase a large number of hats, screen printing is cost-effective for bulk orders.
- Screen printing generally is more precise than embroidery, while providing more colors than leather patches.
- Even though it’s not quite as wear-resistant as the first two options, screen printing is still durable if properly cared for.
4 DTF (Heat Transfer) Logo Application
DTF (heat transfer) also uses ink to apply a logo to your hat, but starts by creating a separate print of the logo, which can be attached to the hat, kind of like a patch. DTF and screen printing are roughly equally good fits for custom fitted hats, but have distinct pros:
- For small orders, DTF is ordinarily the most cost-effective option.
- You can get unparalleled detail that other methods aren’t capable of.
- There are certain finishes/colors that can only be done via this method.
Custom Fitted Hats Pro-Tip: Don’t Forget the Back!
When designing your custom fitted hat, you’re probably first and foremost thinking about the logo. It’s likely been the primary place you’ve put your effort into the hat, and it should get the lion’s share of the attention. Due to this the majority hats feature the logo right in the middle of the crown of the hat.
That’s not the only option, though, particularly with most fitted hats: decorate the back. Since most fitted hats have a solid, filled-in back, there’s more space to display your brand and express your personal taste. The back is a great spot for a secondary logo, perhaps something event-specific.
For pre-existing logos where you want to put together a variation or sub-logo to fill out your custom fitted hat, consider contacting our logo designers. Our team are experts at making logos for Glendale, AZ, companies and families; working with us, you can make something fresh yet comfortable based on your existing logo.
Fitted Hat Customization Options – Hat Styles
There are several hat styles that can be considered “fitted,” so there’s a lot for Glendale, AZ residents to choose from. But if you need somewhere to get started, we’ve got you covered:
- Baseball Caps – Iconic Fitted Hats: Baseball hats are probably the most widespread overall, and you’ll find many fitted hat options among them.

- Flexfit –The Best of Both Worlds: Flexfits use an elastic band to create a hat that’s both snug and stretchable.
- You can go back and forth on whether or not Flexfit is “fitted,” but you can’t go wrong with one like our Port Authority Delta Cap.
Reasons People Wear Custom Fitted Hats in Glendale, AZ
Glendale, AZ residents will always wear all kinds of hats, but the fitted ones will always stand out. The sleek, stylish look and clean fit make them a popular choice everywhere. In addition to their traditional use, fitted hats are a part of the resurgence of backwards wear.

Glendale Custom Fitted Hats FAQs
Not quite ready to start creating your fitted hat? We’ve got some of the most popular questions Glendale, AZ, has about custom fitted hats:
What looks better, fitted or snapback?
Deciding between a fitted hat and a snapback mostly depends on the occasion and purpose of the hat. Each has its benefits and drawbacks, but for most situations, a fitted hat will will have a cleaner look while a snapback will be bolder.
Do fitted hats get bigger or smaller?
Most fitted hats will initially get bigger as you first break them in. However, as fitted hats age, they tend to get smaller if they experience wear without being properly cared for.
What hat styles are popular now?
Snapbacks are common to see in current conventional fashion, but fitted hats are often worn by Glendale, AZ, inhabitants who are looking for something a little different from the mainstream.
We’re also seeing more people interested in hats with mesh on the sides/back, most notably trucker hats. Regarding logo application, we frequently see people go with embroidery and/or patches on their custom hats.
Do fitted hats look good backwards?
Fitted hats are good choices to wear backwards because of their snug fit. With enough effort, most hats can look good if worn backwards; however, non-fitted hats’ generally softer fit makes them more prone to falling off. On the contrary, fitted hats hold tight to your head regardless of the direction it’s facing.
Should a fitted hat be a bit tight?
Actually, it should be the opposite (at least when you’re first wearing it). Because most hats often shrink a bit as they age, you’ll want to start out with a hat that’s just a tad loose, and then break it in so that it fits right with your individual head.
How should I design my fitted hat?
If you’re designing a custom fitted hat, make use of the following tips:
- If your fitted hat, like most, has a solid back, use it to your advantage. Additional logos or variations fit well on the back since you have more space and structure.
- Add some texture – embroidery and patches are both great options, and will make your logo pop off the hat in a premium way.
