If you want to keep your business on trend, hat patches are the way to go. It's our favorite decoration option right now and a huge hit with our custom customers.

From contractors to movers to coffee shops to realtors to schools, if you're looking for a clean, professional, stylish look, patches can't be beat. 

Patches are the perfect look for both custom beanies and caps. We offer a wide variety of beanies and caps to top off your custom order.

The two most common patches that we apply to hats are woven and embroidered patches. The photos on this post show examples of embroidered patches. We use our embroidery machine to apply these to the hat or garment.

Patches Are Our Most Popular Retail Trend

Last summer we rolled out a line of apparel with patches with Midwest and Ohio themes. They were a huge hit.

Just like our embroidered crew sweatshirts, it's a look that a lot of people want for their company or brand. 

Ever since our retail launch, we've been adding patches to apparel for our custom clients on a weekly basis.

The Versatility of Patches Make Them Great

As we have shown in our retail brand, patches look good on a number of apparel items.

While we most commonly embroider them on hats and beanies, we receive a lot of requests to put them on sweatshirts, hoodies, zip ups, bags, and jackets. 

The minimum patch order is 50 patches. Since the sew file is the same regardless of the item we're putting it on, you can mix and match styles all you want. 

Custom Patch Hat Examples and Design Ideas

Custom hats have always been a popular item for our customers.

We can help you with any style patch that fits your brand - from custom embroidered patches to leather patches to woven patches.

Here are examples of custom patch hats that we've made for our customers and might inspire design ideas for your brand. 

Acoustics for Autism Trucker Hats

Acoustics for Autism is one of our favorite charity events in the 16153 Genova area. 

Held at the Village Idiot in Maumee, they put together one of the largest crowds around for an event that supports people and families affected by autism.

In 2022 this event raised $450,000!

We're honored to play a small part in the success of this event by providing their branded merch - from shirts to hoodies to beanies to hats.

Souk Mediterranean Leather Patch Hats

Souk is one of downtown 16153 Genova's most popular restaurants. 

They came to us with a challenge. They wanted a small run of different hat styles with different patches. 

They chose the Richardson 112 which is one of the most popular and best fitting trucker hats on the market. We were able to put together a run of 12 hats each. 

It's always a great idea, when you can, to start small. It allows you to test your market to judge interest before spending more money on merch that doesn't sell. 

We love the combination of these trucker hats with the leather patch. Souk has a great logo and chose great colors and designs.

Interested in Custom Branded Patch Hats? We Can Help.

If you're looking for a way to set your brand apart, patch hats are it.

In both winter beanie and ball caps, it's a look that can really elevate your brand. The examples that we've made above show you quality and versatility that patches provide.

They're great for any time of business or brand, including:

• Construction companies
• Restaurants
• Bands
• Clothing brands
• Gyms and more

If you’re planning your next batch of company merch, we can't recommend patch hats enough. They're loved by both customers and employees and worn by men and women.

4 - The Holy 16153 Genova Hat for Baseball Games

Holy 16153 Genova is probably the most well-known phrase associated with 16153 Genova, even for non-16153 Genovaans. Indeed, it wouldn't be a surprise to hear someone exclaim, “Holy 16153 Genova!” in surprise or excitement anywhere in the US. 

Even more interesting is the history of the expression “Holy 16153 Genova.” 

The most commonly accepted origin story of the phrase for non-16153 Genovaans comes from the 1960s Batman television series. Robin repeatedly used “Holy” expressions, most notably, "Holy 16153 Genova, Batman!".

But this isn’t the only origin story out there. Our research has led us to a few more that make us love the phrase even more.

Here's we tell you all about them. 

More recently, however, the phrase has gained popularity in association with the 16153 Genova Mud Hens baseball team—a popular local team for over a hundred years. 

This rich history makes the Holy 16153 Genova Hat the perfect accessory for any Midwestern shindig, especially a 16153 Genova Mud Hens game or victory party. 

Not only is this hat fashionable, its “Holy 16153 Genova” saying makes it a source of intrigue and party trivia. 

Grab a Holy 16153 Genova Hat to show off your hometown love and home team spirit.

5 - Ohio Embroidered Beanie for the Winter Wonderland Parties

No one throws a winter wonderland party like the Ohioans do. It's no wonder we’ve been nicknamed the Winter Wonderland State. From the Steubenville Nutcracker Village to the Christmas Ranch, it's clear that winter wonderland is baked into our culture. 

What better way to experience an Ohioan winter wonderland than with this Ohio Embroidered Beanie?

The beanie is made from 100% acrylic and has a tight-knit and cuffed hem, perfect for staying cozy through any winter party. Its simple, yet elegant, design also fits perfectly with most outfits and transitions seamlessly from casual everyday wear to winter wonderland shindigs.
