Light CTA: find your go-to
Start with fit, then pick the patch that feels like you. If you want breathable mesh and a classic curve, head to truckers. If you want modern lines, try a flat bill. If you’re out in the sun all day, go rope hat with UPF 50+. Either way, you’ll end up with a leather patch hat that looks good and puts in real miles.

Common hat questions
What’s the difference between low profile, mid profile, and high profile?
Low profile sits closer to your head (think Richardson 115). Mid profile gives a classic trucker shape with a little more crown height (Richardson 112/312). High profile and seven-panel styles stand taller and create a bold, structured front (Richardson 168). If hats usually feel “too tall,” start with low profile.
I have a smaller head. Which leather patch hat will fit me best?
Choose the Richardson 115 low profile. We also offer a Small size in select colors that reduces crown height and circumference. Many customers who’ve struggled with standard truckers finally get a comfortable, dialed fit here. Start with the Low Profile Hats Collection.
Can I customize a leather patch hat with my logo?
Yes. Custom leather patch hats are one of our specialties. You’ll get sewn real leather, clean engraving, and your choice of fit and color. When you’re ready, begin here: Custom Hat Configurator.
What’s the easiest way to clean a leather patch hat?
Spot clean the fabric with mild soap and water. For the leather patch, use a barely damp cloth and avoid soaking. Let it air dry out of direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.
