We are located in sunny Southern California in the USA 🌞 🇺🇸 This is where all of your custom hats are decorated and keychains are made.
Our patches are both securely adhered and stitched onto your custom hats to ensure durability, preventing them from coming loose over time and guaranteeing a long-lasting product.
We use premium full-grain, vegetable-tanned bridle leather, which is completely free from heavy metals and harsh chemicals.
Unlike conventional leather used in about 90% of the fashion industry, (including the majority of other custom headwear and leather keychain providers), which is tanned using chromium, a heavy metal known for its toxic environmental, human and aquatic health impact, our vegetable-tanning process is a safer, more sustainable alternative. This method not only enhances durability and richness over time but also significantly reduces harm to both people and the planet.
You can learn more about the benefits of vegetable-tanned leather on our blog here.
Built to last. Designed to impress. Crafted for your brand.
Eco-Friendly Premium Embroidery with 100% Recycled Thread
Our vibrant, high-performance embroidery uses Madeira® Polyneon thread, made from 100% recycled polyester for a more sustainable choice. Certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 for safety, it’s not only eco-conscious but also incredibly durable, designed to withstand wear, weather, and time.
Whether it’s direct embroidery or patch stitching, your design stays bold, bright, and beautiful—embroidered right here in the USA.
Full Grain Vegetable-Tanned Leather Patches – Non-Toxic & USA Made
We only use top-tier, full grain leather sourced from mature USA steer and tanned naturally using vegetable tannins—not the harsh chemicals and heavy metals (like chromium) used in 90% of fashion leather.
Each patch is hand-polished and laser-engraved in the USA for ultra-crisp detail and a premium finished look. Our patches are biodegradable, incredibly durable, and crafted to last. This is the gold standard for sustainable, long-lasting leather branding.
Securely Sewn Patches for Long-Lasting Durability
Unlike many custom hat companies that rely on adhesive alone, we take it a step further. Each patch is carefully sewn by a skilled technician after being adhered, ensuring it stays firmly in place.
This added craftsmanship means your patches won’t lift, peel, or fall off—even with heavy wear. Proudly stitched in the USA for quality you can count on.
Dekni Creations has been a great partner for our company. We have purchased nearly 300 hats from them with a couple different branded leather patches. The quality is undoubtedly a premium feel and we have gotten a lot of great feedback from our clients on them.
