Own a patch that needs to be sewn onto one of our caps? Or, own a cap that you want one of our patches sewn onto? We can help with that.
Steps to getting your patch sewn onto a cap (cap sold separately):
Patch acceptance terms:
We reserve the right to turn down any patch.
Because we employ a diverse workforce, we do not accept patches with language or symbols that may insult, offend or put down any person or group – from any background, from any place on Earth – in the slightest manner.
Also, we have our version of Bartender Rules: nothing related to religion, politics or race. If you’ve ever tended bar with a diverse clientele you understand where we’re coming from.
Again, we reserve the right to turn down any patch, and without explaining our decision. If you’re cool with these terms please send us a photo of your patch.
Patch guidelines:
• Please send us dimensions, along with a photo of the patch or patches.
• Caps are not included in the price, and must be purchased or provided separately.
• A patch must be no taller than 3" to fit onto one of our caps. Maximum width is 5".
• We don’t sew on PVC patches. This soft rubber patch won’t hold up under our industrial sewing machine.
• Patches with multiple curves and sharp angles might not be sewable.
• Very Important! We no longer accept caps with patches still attached. Text us if you have any questions about how to safely remove a patch from a cap.
• Once we have a patch in our hands, and we can inspect it up close, we reserve the right to turn down a job if we feel the patch cannot hold up to our industrial sewing machine. Our machine likes to eat up delicate patches and we’d rather turn down a job if we feel this might occur.
• We charge an additional service charge per patch should it need to be cleaned. We’ll let you know if this is the case when you send us a photo of your patch.
• Please send in your patch as soon as you can after you place an order, and include a note with your name and order number along with your patch. If you’re sending in more than one patch, please let us know cap and patch pairings.
• We are not responsible for sent items that are lost in transport. We highly recommend using a shipping service with a tracking number.

Frequently asked questions about our sewing service.
Can I send in my own design for a patch and have you sew it on a cap? And do you offer bulk pricing?
Yes to both questions. Our minimum bulk patch and cap order is 24 units. Turnaround is 4-6 weeks. Please text us for pricing and details.
I have a few dozen hats and patches that I need to get sewn. Do you offer bulk pricing?
Yes we do. Bulk pricing starts at 24 patches or caps. In addition you can send in both your own patches and caps. Turnaround is 1-2 weeks once we receive your caps and patches. Please text us for pricing and details.
Twenty-year warranty on your sewing – are you all crazy?
It is a bit nutty that we offer a twenty-year warranty on our patch-to-cap sewing. If your patch comes off your cap, we’ll sew it back on at no charge. It's the kind of crazy we like put out to the world.
Can I send in my own blank cap?
Most likely, as long as it’s a brand new cap and you’ve sent us a photo of it. It would be impossible for us to carry every single cap brand out there, so we'll try to help out here. We also know there's some XXL caps out there for bigger and more handsome heads.
So why go to all the trouble of machine sewing vintage patches onto caps
Because it’s simply the best way to secure a patch onto a ball cap. A well-sewn patch will last twenty-years or more. The cap will give out before the patch ever does. Sure, you could glue down a patch in half the time but it’s never going to be able to stay secure or make a design “pop-off” a cap. Machine sewing stretches and secures a patch to the point where it hugs the contours of a cap. Gluing down a patch on a cap can never achieve this unique dimensionality and lasting power.
