At 144 pieces embroidery or a leather patch is $5.00 per hat and holds there as the quantity climbs. We schedule the run across both embroidery heads or the laser and the hat press so the whole order ships together. ### What a 250-hat order looks like 250 Decky 961 relaxed polo buckets, one embroidered front logo: 250 x $5.00 = $1,250.00 decoration plus $18.99 digitizing, plus the quoted blank per hat. Split across colors with the same logo and the price does not change. Fitted sizes (S/M and L/XL) count as one quantity. ### Mixing buckets, dad hats and 5-panels Mix styles freely: buckets for the crew, dad hats for the office, patch five-panels for sponsors. With identical decoration the total quantity sets the tier. Each style gets its own blank price line on the quote. ### Reorders We keep your digitized file and patch art. Reorders skip digitizing and go straight to proof. Battle Born Clothing does not run team or company online stores; we do straightforward bulk orders with one invoice. ## Leather patch five-panels and dad hats for brands and breweries A laser-engraved leather patch on a YP 6502 or Richardson 112FP five-panel is the hat breweries, outfitters and retail brands sell at the counter. We cut and engrave the patch in-house and glue it with a heat process on a two-platen hat press, or sew it on for $1 more. No setup fee, no minimum. ### Patch sizes and shapes Rectangles, rounded rectangles, circles and custom outlines, usually 2.5 to 3 inches wide. Natural tan, brown, dark brown and black leather. The proof shows the patch at true size on your hat. ### Patch on a bucket hat Yes, on cotton buckets like the Decky 961 and 450. On terry and ripstop we sew it. More on the [leather patch page](/decoration/laser-engraved-leather-patch/). ## Custom camo hats Decky 5301 ripstop camo buckets, Decky 5303 camo boonies, Richardson 112PFP printed camo five-panels and Decky 6304 Multicam five-panels. A leather patch separates the logo from the pattern; single-color embroidery works for simple marks. ### Who orders camo Hunting and fishing guides, ranches, shooting ranges, outdoor retail brands and crews that work outside. [See the fishing and outdoor page](/industries/fishing-and-outdoor-brands/). ## Small runs: 12 to 47 hats No hard minimum. A dozen dad hats for a startup or 24 buckets for a bachelorette weekend is $8.00 or $7.00 per hat to decorate plus the blank. Same proof, same 28-day turnaround, same machines as the big orders. ## FAQ **What is the minimum order for custom bucket hats?** There is no hard minimum on embroidery or leather patch. Pricing starts at the 12-23 tier and breaks every 24 pieces, with the best decoration price at 144 and up. **How much does a custom bucket hat cost?** Decoration is $8.00 per hat at 12-23 down to $5.00 at 144+, for embroidery or a leather patch. The blank is quoted per job, usually the same business day. See the pricing page for the full tables. **Why is the blank price quoted per job?** Bucket, dad and 5-panel blank prices move with the maker, the color and the warehouse. We quote the live number rather than list a stale one. Our rule is supplier cost times two under $10, or cost plus 35 percent at $10 and up. **How long does an order take?** Standard turnaround is 28 days from the day you approve the digital proof. Rush is quoted per job. **Do you do leather patches on bucket hats?** Yes. Glued on cotton buckets like the Decky 961 and 450; sewn (+$1 per hat) on terry and ripstop. Patches are laser-engraved in-house on an 80-watt CO2 laser. **Embroidery or leather patch: which is better on a dad hat?** Both work. Small embroidery is the classic dad-hat look. A patch avoids stitch pull on the soft crown and has no digitizing fee. The price is within fifty cents per hat either way. **Can you embroider an unstructured hat without puckering?** Yes. We hoop soft crowns on a cap frame with a cutaway backing and keep fills light. The proof flags artwork that is too dense. **Is there a setup fee?** Embroidery digitizing is $18.99 one time per design. Leather patches have no setup fee. Reorders of a saved design have no setup fee. **What artwork do you need?** Vector (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) is best. A 300 dpi PNG works for embroidery. Leather patches need solid black-and-white art; no gradients. **Do I get a proof?** Yes, a digital proof showing the logo or patch at true size on the chosen hat and color. Nothing is produced until you approve it. --- Bucket Hat Co. is a brand of Battle Born Clothing, 3 Pebble Beach Dr, Yerington, NV 89447. Quote: https://buckethatco.com/quote/
