Hilltop Ink creates high quality custom leather patch hats. Each patch is laser engraved with precision, cut cleanly, and pressed onto your preferred hat style for a long lasting, professional finish. These patches work well for businesses, ministries, teams, and anyone looking for a more elevated style than traditional embroidery or printing.

All leather patch orders are produced in-house at our shop serving the Walterboro and Lowcountry region. Whether you're outfitting staff, selling branded merch, launching a fundraiser, or creating a high end gift, leather patches give your apparel a unique look that stands out.

We produce engraved leather patches and apply them to Richardson, Yupoong, Pacific Lost Hat Company and other high quality hat brands. Choose from classic truckers, curved brim, flat brim, mesh back, or structured caps depending on your style.

Precision Laser Engraving

Your design is engraved into genuine or faux leather, producing sharp detail, clean contrast, and consistent quality across every patch.

Durable Heat Press Application

Patches are applied using professional heat presses, ensuring they stay firmly bonded even with heavy use. No peeling, lifting, or loose edges. We guarantee all of our heat-applied leather patches on hats. If you ever have an issue with durability, we will replace the hat. No questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hats work best with leather patches?

Structured trucker hats (like Richardson 112) and mid-profile caps provide ideal bonding and clean placement.

Can you make custom shapes?

Yes. We can create circles, ovals, shields, diamonds, or fully custom outlines.

Are faux leather patches durable?

Yes. High quality faux leather engraves beautifully and holds up extremely well. We actually prefer Leatherette over engraving the real leather, both for it being more economical and available in more color options 

Can I order just patches?

Yes. We offer wholesale leather patches to other decorators who don't laser engrave in-house themselves.  Contact us for pricing and turn around times.
