Custom Embroidered Hats: Cost, Brands & How It Works

Your logo stitched on genuine Richardson, Yupoong & Carhartt caps. Order one hat or a thousand. You approve a real stitched sample before we produce anything.

How custom embroidered hats work

Custom embroidered hats are blank caps (Richardson, Yupoong and Flexfit) stitched with your logo, with no minimum order and a real stitched proof you approve before production. You pay the cap price shown on each product page plus a one-time $30 setup fee (waived on 12+ hats and on reorders), and most orders ship 3 to 5 business days after you approve the sample.

Custom hat questions, answered

Is there a minimum order for custom hats?

No. There is no minimum. Order a single embroidered hat or a large run; the process is identical either way, including the real stitched sample you approve before production.

What does custom hat embroidery cost?

Each hat is priced on its product page, with volume discounts as quantity goes up. The only added charge is a one-time $30 setup fee covering logo digitizing and real test stitch-outs, waived on orders of 12+ hats, and never charged again on reorders.

Do I pay the setup fee again when I reorder?

No. The $30 setup fee is a one-time charge. When you reorder the same logo there's no setup fee and no re-testing, so reorders are cheaper and faster, even for a single hat.

Which hat brands and styles do you embroider?

Richardson, Yupoong Classics and Flexfit, with many models of each, including the Richardson 112 trucker and the Yupoong 6006 and 6606. Browse custom Richardson hats, trucker hats and snapback hats.

Which hat style should I choose?

The Richardson 112 snapback fits most heads and most brands. It's the safe default. Want a premium fitted feel, a printed camo pattern, or a low-profile dad hat? See our guide: Richardson 112 vs 110 vs 115.

Will my logo actually look good stitched on a hat?

That's exactly why we sew a real sample first. You see a photo of your logo on the actual cap before production, not a digital mockup. The hat front is only about 2.4 inches tall, so detailed logos may be simplified for clean stitching; our guide on flat vs 3D puff embroidery shows what each style looks like.

How fast will I get my hats?

You get a real stitch-out sample within 24 to 48 business hours, then your order ships 3 to 5 business days after you approve it, far faster than the typical 7 to 14 day industry turnaround. See current turnaround times.

What sizes do custom hats come in?

Snapbacks like the Richardson 112 adjust to fit most heads. Ideal for groups. Fitted styles like the Richardson 110 R-Flex come in sized ranges. Our hat fit guide breaks down snapback vs fitted vs flex-fit.

What logo file formats do you accept?

We accept common image and vector files (PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, EPS, SVG). Higher-resolution or vector logos give the cleanest embroidery, and we digitize whatever you send as part of the $30 setup.

Can you match my brand or Pantone colors?

Yes. We match your logo colors to embroidery thread as closely as possible, and you approve the stitched sample before production.

Can I put embroidery on the side or back of the hat?

Yes. Besides the front, we can embroider the side or back of most caps. Just note the placement in your order or ask us.
