What You Can Customize When Designing Your Own Hat
When you design your own hat, you’re in full control — from the shape and style to the artwork, colors, and finishing touches.

Colors
You’ll have access to a huge range of hat colors, thread options, and patch materials. If you’re working with brand colors, we can match to Pantone or digital references. Not sure what works best? Our team can help dial in a look that pops.
Quick tip: High contrast is easiest to see — light thread on dark hats, dark thread on light. But if you want subtle, tonal colors, go for it.
Text
Names, jokes, taglines — whatever you want to say, you can say it here. Play with fonts, layout, and size until it feels right.
Artwork
Drop in your artwork — logos, badges, illustrations, whatever. JPG, PNG, and GIF files work great, but we also accept vector files like AI and EPS. Need cleanup help? Just ask.
Patches
If you want texture and depth, custom patches are the move. Leather, embroidery, sublimation — you pick the style, we help shape the look.
Design Tips for Custom Hats That Don’t Miss
Even if you’re not a hat designer in Tacoma, WA, you can still make something clean and wearable — here’s how.
- Keep it bold: The bolder the design, the better it’ll stitch. Small, thin elements can fade fast or get muddy.
- Use fewer words: The best hats say one thing well. If it’s readable from a distance, it’s doing its job.
- Mind the contrast: High contrast stands out — think dark-on-light or light-on-dark. Subtle combos can work too, but only if that’s the look you’re after.
- Match your style to your vibe: Each hat style brings its own look and feel. Pick what fits your vibe, or test a few to see what works.
- Don’t feel stuck in the center: Side panels, offset placements, even text under the brim — a little asymmetry adds personality without trying too hard.
