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. This is typically in opposition to snapbacks, which include a plastic strap that you can use to select the size you want.
Since there’s really only the one requirement, these hats don’t follow a rigid stylistic philosophy. Commonly, the backside of the hat will be solid (as opposed to mesh), but this isn’t always the case: For example, one of our trucker caps is actually fitted, and also has a mesh back.
Fitted Hat Customization Options – Decoration Method
When you are making a custom fitted hat, keep in mind, you’ll have to decide on a logo and decoration method goes along with both the hat style and the fashion in Henderson, NV. There are four main options available, with notes on how well they work for fitted hats:
1 Embroidery Logo Application:
Embroidery is a popular hat customization technique. Embroidering works by sewing thread into the material of the hat. Custom fitted hats in particular work well with embroidery because:
- It creates a textured effect unlike any other method.
- Embroidery often provides a classic, professional look that matches with fitted hats in Henderson, NV.
- Because it’s woven into the hat, embroidery decoration is long-lasting, a major benefit if you’ll be active in this hat.
2 Patches Logo Application:
Patches are miniature, standalone versions of your logo. Here’s what makes them good for custom fitted hats:
- Custom patches can take a lot of wear before needing replacement. These are incredibly durable.
- You can pick from a variety of materials, from PVC to leather.
- They are incredibly customizable, beyond the other methods.
3 Screen Printing Logo Application
Screen printing – Screen printing directly applies ink to the hat with your design. We generally recommend embroidery and/or patches over screen printing for custom fitted hats; that said, it does have several advantages:
- Despite higher setup fees, the price per unit is fairly low, making it a good fit for bulk orders.
- This method allows more fine detail than embroidery, while including 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 is anothering “printing” method, like screenprinting, but starts by creating a separate print of the logo, which is then applied using heat. DTF and screen printing are roughly equally good fits for custom fitted hats, but have distinct pros:
- For lower quantity orders, DTF is usually the most cost-effective option.
- For detail-heavy logos, DTF might be needed to ensure the design is preserved.
- There are some special finishes/colors that are only capable this way.
Custom Fitted Hats Pro-Tip: Put Something on the Back
When designing your custom fitted hat, you’re probably first and foremost thinking about the logo. The hat’s logo has likely been the focus of your design, and you want people to see it. 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: put a design on the back. Because most fitted hats feature a solid, filled-in backside, you get additional real estate to show off your brand and express your personal taste. This makes it an excellent place to put a secondary logo, perhaps something more subtle.
If you have an existing primary logo and want to create a variant or alternative to fill out your custom fitted hat, we recommend working with our logo design specialists. Hat.Co’s team are experts at creating logos for Henderson, NV, organizations and families; we can build something new yet comfortable based on your existing logo.

Henderson Custom Fitted Hats FAQs
Do you have questions that you want to resolve before you start creating your fitted hat? We’ve got some of the most common questions Henderson, NV, asks about custom fitted hats:
What looks better, fitted or snapback?
Deciding between a fitted hat and a snapback mostly depends on why and where you’re wearing the hat. Each has its benefits and drawbacks, but in most cases, a fitted hat will provide a more uniform look while a snapback will stand out more.
Do fitted hats change size over time?
When you’re first trying them on and wearing them, they will likely grow a bit. That said, as time goes on, they often get smaller if they experience wear without being properly cared for.
What hat styles are fashionable now?
, but fitted hats are often worn by Henderson, NV, citizens who want to show off their individuality.
Hats made with mesh materials are popular because of their breathability, 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. Even though you can wear any hat backwards, other hat styles’ generally looser fit increases their risk of falling off. A fitted cap will hold tight to your head regardless of the direction it sits on your head.
Should a fitted hat feel a little tight?
Normally not (at least when you first purchase it). Because most hats normally shrink a bit over time, we typically recommend starting out with a hat that’s just a tad loose, and then break it in to fit your particular head.
How should I customize my fitted hat?
Ultimately, you should customize it in a way that works well for you! But if you want to get the most out of your hat, here are a couple of tips:
- Most fitted hats have a wide, solid back. Make use of it. Additional logos or variations fit well on the back to give you a chance to show them off when you wouldn’t have otherwise.
- Make your logo stand out – embroidery and patches are both good fits for fitted hats, and can add a “3-D” element to your design.
