This custom rope hat is more than just headwear—it's an opportunity to showcase your brand, message, or personality through premium engraving and fully tailored design features.

Each leather type is ideal for engraving and develops a distinctive, professional appearance over time.

Design Upload Guidelines
To achieve the highest quality engraving on your custom leather patch:
- File Types: Designs must be uploaded in black-only SVG or PNG format
- Design Color: Only solid black designs are supported—no color, gradients, or shading
- Detail Level: Avoid extremely fine lines or small text, as these may not engrave clearly
