The Best Custom Hats for Real Estate Agents, Gyms, and Guides
When you’re building a brand — whether you’re showing houses, running a gym, or guiding people into the backcountry — you need gear that works and reflects who you are. Custom hats are one of the easiest ways to elevate your business presence without feeling like you're selling out.
At Outer Wings, we design custom leather patch hats that are functional, attractive, and built to last. Whether you’re handing them out to clients, selling merch at your front desk, or just gearing up your team, our hats hit the mark: no cheap giveaways, no gimmicks — just clean design and quality construction.
Why Custom Leather Patch Hats Work
Unlike printed or embroidered hats, a leather patch hat immediately gives your brand a sense of craftsmanship and style. And when that leather is real, laser-engraved, and hand-sewn, it’s hard not to stand out, in the best way.
But if you're ordering in bulk, we also offer heat-pressed leatherette patches through our Custom Hat Builder to help lower the price without compromising your look. You can choose what fits your brand and your budget.

Common Hat Questions
How do I get custom hats made with Outer Wings?
Use our Custom Hat Builder to upload your logo, choose your hat style, patch type (sewn or heat pressed), and finalize your design with our help. We make it easy.
What’s the difference between leatherette and real leather?
Leatherette is a synthetic look-alike that we offer for custom hats using heat-press only — it's more affordable but doesn’t age or hold up like the real thing. All of our pre-designed hats use real, veg-tanned leather sewn by hand.
Which hat fits best for most people?
The Richardson 112 is a versatile mid-profile option that fits most head shapes. The 115 is a lower-profile version, great for a more modern, close fit.
Can I order hats in small sizes?
Yes. Our Richardson 115 comes in M/L and Small sizes, making it ideal for brands that want better fit range across all customers.
Build Your Brand. Wear It With Pride.
You’ve worked hard to build something real — your name, your business, your crew. Your hat should represent that. Whether you go sewn or heat-pressed, flat bill or trucker, we’ll help you create custom hats that reflect the quality of your brand.
