Step 1: Clarify Your Hat’s Purpose and Visual Ideas

Begin your journey by identifying what you want your custom hat to represent. Do you want it to feature a logo, a catchy quote, family pet, beautiful flowers, or perhaps a favorite movie?

Step 2: Choose Color and Style

With your ideas sketched out, it’s time to select the hat style. Options include flat brims, cowboy hats, or ball caps.

Next, consider the colors. In a survey, 62% of people prefer versatile colors that match various outfits, while 38% opt for vibrant, attention-grabbing hues. Decide if your palette will reflect a classic approach or bold statements. Keep in mind how the colors will complement your design. There are many colors available!

Step 3: Rough Sketching on Paper

Now it’s time to visualize your ideas through sketching. I will start on a regular piece of paper and draw rough outlines of your hat design. Focusing on layout and placements of various elements, such as logos or text. This is by far a rough sketch but it allows you to visualize the entire design and pick and choose what you like and don't like. This also enables you to add or take away design pieces.

Step 4: Refining Your Ideas and Creating a Final Sketch

After sketching a few concepts I'll ask a few questions. For example what resonates with you? What feels off? Do you like the placement?

Step 5: Receive an Invoice

Once I have your final design ready, you will receive an invoice with the total price shipping included. By agreeing on the price beforehand, you ensure there are no surprises later.

Step 6: Production Begins with Updates

The exciting part follows! After settling the invoice, production on your custom hat will start. During this time, I will share update pictures of the progress. You'll see how your design is coming to life, allowing for any last-minute tweaks if needed.

Step 7: Final Product and Approval

Once customization is complete, you'll receive photos of your finished hat.

Step 8: Packaging and Shipping

After you approve the final design, your custom hat will be carefully packaged and shipped. Arriving in 3-5 business days.

Step 9: Tracking Information Sent

As soon as your hat is shipped, you’ll get tracking information. This allows you to check where your custom creation is at any time. Knowing when it will arrive adds to the excitement of receiving your order!

Step 10: Enjoy Your Unique Custom Hat

Finally, the moment you’ve anticipated arrives—you receive your custom hat! Take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship involved. Whether it’s for you or a gift, your hat is a true reflection of creativity and effort. Each design takes hours of careful hand burning and artistic talent. Keep in mind there is no erasing so it takes a steady confident hand to get all the wonderful details!
