You get a complete spec
Hat, color, patch shape and size, placement, leather, thread, quantity and the logo file arrive together.
03
It matches your site
Your name, colors, fonts, hats and prices. Turn off what you do not sell.
04
Works on a phone
Most customers will open it on a phone. The builder is laid out for small screens.

AI powered
From flat mockup to a realistic preview in under a minute
Customers upload a logo and see it on a real hat. The AI preview illustrates how the patch could look in person. The final proof is always made from the original logo.
Customers can add a note about the look, such as "soft vintage print" or "worn-in leather". That note goes into the quote request automatically, so your shop sees what they were picturing. The AI image is an illustration only; your proof is always the final word.
Your admin pages
You run it. Customers never see these.
Open the builder, use the Shop admin link at the bottom and enter your key. The admin panel appears for you only.

We are opening the patch hat builder to a small group of custom hat shops. We set it up with you: patch types, prices, side and back embroidery, your logo and a watermark on previews. Try it first, tell us what to change, and we change it. Terms are agreed in writing before anything goes live.
