Children grow up far too quickly, but their artwork, handwriting, and sweet little notes deserve to be remembered.

This custom hat patch transforms your child's handwriting, drawings, stick figures, signatures, or handwritten messages into a personalized keepsake that can be worn every day. Whether it's a simple "Dad," a hand-drawn dinosaur, a heartfelt "Love You Daddy," or a special drawing made just for Grandpa, I carefully recreate the artwork and engrave it onto a premium leatherette patch.

The patch featured in this listing is made from light brown leatherette, which provides beautiful contrast and engraving detail. Additional leatherette colors may be available upon request. If you have a specific color in mind, please send me a message before ordering and I'll be happy to discuss available options.

You may purchase the patch by itself, choose a Richardson 112 trucker hat, or select a vintage-style dad cap. If you're looking for a different hat style or color than those offered in this listing, please contact me before ordering. I may be able to special order additional options depending on availability.

Every patch is designed, laser cut, engraved, and assembled by me at Poor Hog Customs in Mississippi.

Care Instructions

Spot clean only. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or heat. Do not machine wash hats with leatherette patches.

Processing & Shipping

Each patch is custom created from your submitted artwork. Processing times may vary depending on design complexity and current order volume.

Personalization

After ordering, send a clear photo or scan of your child's artwork, handwriting, signature, doodle, or message through Etsy messages.

For best results, use dark writing on a light background and take photos in good lighting with minimal shadows.

I can often combine multiple drawings, names, or handwriting samples into a single design. Each photo submitted will be additional $5.00.

Important Note

This hat patch is custom made to order using your supplied handwriting or artwork. During the process, I will send you photos of the work so you can review and approve it before it ships. I rarely have a photo of handwriting or artwork that I am unable to use and can often make edits to remove backgrounds or unwanted marks. Refunds are not available on custom items. However, if your item arrives damaged or you experience any issues within the first two weeks of receiving your order, please reach out by email and we will work together to find a resolution.
