Made in the USA — Real Leather, Real Craftsmanship, Right from Colorado
At Outer Wings, we take pride in what we make — and where we make it. Every leather patch that goes onto our hats is designed, engraved, and hand-sewn right here in Colorado, USA.
While we use trusted hat blanks from brands like Richardson, Yupoong, and Imperial, the signature element that makes our hats uniquely Outer Wings — the leather patch — is proudly made in the USA using American-sourced leather and stitched with care by our small team.
What “Made in the USA” Means at Outer Wings
We’re not mass-producing hats overseas. We’re building something better — with quality, character, and intention.
Here’s what goes into every Outer Wings leather patch hat:
- Genuine veg-tanned leather sourced from American suppliers
- In-house patch design crafted for the outdoors
- Laser engraving done in Colorado
- Hand-sewn leather patches carefully stitched onto each hat
- Packed and shipped directly from our Colorado workspace
You’re getting a piece of gear made with care, not shortcuts.
Why We Use Brands Like Richardson, Yupoong & Imperial
We’re selective about the blank hats we use. Brands like Richardson have built a reputation for consistent quality, comfort, and durability — and that matters when you're spending long days outside.
While the blank hats themselves are not manufactured in the USA, we trust these brands because:
- They fit well and hold up over time
- Customers already know and love them
- They make a perfect canvas for our handcrafted leather patches
We don’t claim to make every piece of the hat in the U.S. — but we do take full ownership of the craftsmanship that defines our brand.
Built for the Mountains. Crafted for the Everyday.
When you wear an Outer Wings hat, you’re wearing:
- A custom leather patch made in Colorado
- A hat assembled with trusted components
- A design meant to last, built for trails, towns, road trips, and campfires
It’s that blend of American craftsmanship and field-tested reliability that makes our gear different.
