What we stitch

Hats, flats and wild cards.

Most embroidery falls into one of these. If yours doesn't, even better.

Hat & cap embroidery

Embroidery is the premium decoration for caps, and probably what's on nearly every hat in your house. With up to 15 thread colors per design we can get a little wild, so don't be shy with creative ideas.

Great for
  • Baseball caps
  • dad hats
  • 5-panels
  • campers
  • truckers
  • beanies
  • bucket hats

Flat embroidery

The professional logo on a left chest. Depending on how stable the product is, we back it with the right stabilizer so the stitching has something solid to grab.

Great for
  • Polos
  • sweatshirts
  • work shirts
  • jackets
  • backpacks
  • blankets

Patches

Wool or acrylic felt appliqué, leather and PVC patches sewn on with a heavy perimeter stitch. A great way to get a vintage or rugged look on hats and bags.

Great for
  • Beanies
  • Baseball caps
  • jackets
  • bags

Wild card

We love bringing creative ideas to life. Odd product, unusual placement, something you haven't seen before? You're in the right place.

Great for
  • Custom products and not-so-standard locations
