Why Leather Patch Flag Hats Are Better
Most American flag hats use embroidery or printed graphics. While those work, they don’t offer the same long-term quality or design detail you get with leather. Here’s why Outer Wings leather patch hats stand out:
- Real veg-tanned leather patches, laser-engraved and hand-sewn
- Won’t crack or fade like prints or stick-on patches
- Designed and engraved in Breckenridge, Colorado
They’re not mass-produced hats with slapped-on graphics. They’re wearable craftsmanship.

Need Help Choosing?
Which hat fits best for large heads?
The Richardson 168 and 112 both have slightly roomier crowns and adjustable snapbacks. The 256 also fits most head sizes well.
Are these hats good for outdoor activities?
Yes. All Outer Wings hats have breathable mesh or lightweight performance fabrics, plus moisture-wicking bands where applicable. The 256 also has UPF 50+ protection.
Can I wear these hats year-round?
Absolutely. The low profile 115 and rope 256 work well in warm weather. For colder months, pair them with our Richardson beanies or layer up and go.
Do the leather patches last?
Yes. Unlike printed or glued-on patches, our leather patches are sewn on and age well. The real leather develops a nice patina over time.
