Colors
From thread color to patch material, you’ve got tons of options. We can match brand colors using Pantone or digital refs — and we’re happy to help if you’re stuck.
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
Add names, quotes, slogans, or punchlines. You can test different fonts, move things around, adjust size and spacing, and stack or curve text if that’s your thing. Whether you’re going clean and minimal or big and loud, it’s your call.
Artwork
Upload your logo, mascot, badge, or illustration. You can scale and place the art wherever it fits best. The design tool accepts JPG, PNG, and GIF files — and if you have a vector file like AI or EPS. Need help cleaning up a rough draft? We’ve got you covered.
Patches
Custom patches — leather, woven, embroidered, or sublimated — are perfect for adding detail. You control the shape, stitch, and edge for a clean, finished look.
Design Tips for Custom Hats That Don’t Miss
Being a hat designer in Visalia, CA, isn’t required. Just a few design basics can take your custom hat to the next level.
- Keep it bold: Thin lines and tiny text can get lost in stitching. Bold, high-contrast designs usually come out cleaner and stronger.
- Use fewer words: Short and sweet wins. One clean message people can read fast is better than a wall of text.
- Mind the contrast: Light text on dark hats. Dark patches on light panels. Low contrast looks subtle — which can be cool — but make sure it’s intentional.
- Match your style to your vibe: Flat brims, curved brims, mesh backs, soft fronts — they all wear differently. Choose what fits your look, or try a few side-by-side in the design tool.
- Don’t feel stuck in the center: Try placing your design on the side panel, off-center, or under the brim — it adds character without being over the top.

Frequently Asked Questions About Designing Custom Hats
If you’re curious about the process, these common questions about designing your own hat should help.
Can I really just design one hat?
Yes — even if you’re designing your own hat in Visalia, CA, for a small group, low minimums make it easy. Pricing depends on your hat style, how many you need, and how many thread colors you use. Shipping is always included.
What file types can I upload for designing a hat?
We accept JPG, PNG, and GIF files. Send it over — we’ll take a look, clean it up if needed, and help get it production-ready.
Will I see a preview before my hat is made?
Yes — you’ll get a digital proof first, and we’ll confirm everything with you before anything hits production. We double-check so your hat looks exactly how you want it.
What’s the difference between embroidery and patches?
Embroidery is part of the hat itself — patches add that extra layer of texture. Either one works when you’re designing custom hats in Visalia, CA.
