Collection: Custom Embroidered Hats — Logo Embroidery for Your Business

Custom embroidered hats are structured or unstructured headwear decorated with a company or brand logo stitched directly into the fabric using commercial embroidery equipment. Businesses use them for employee uniforms, client gifts, trade show giveaways, team gear, and ongoing brand apparel programs. At Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, we have produced custom embroidered hats in-house from our Houston facility since 1979 — every order includes free digitizing, a free digital proof, and no setup fees on qualifying orders.

WCE is a full-service decorator with in-house embroidery equipment and a catalog that spans the most popular hat styles in the industry. We carry Richardson 112 trucker caps, New Era 9FORTY and 59FIFTY caps, Yupoong trucker hats, structured snapbacks, flat bill caps, and fitted hats — all available for custom embroidery with your logo, produced in our Houston facility.

Embroidery is the gold standard for branded headwear. It holds up through machine washes, outdoor conditions, and daily wear in ways that printed logos simply can't match. Whether you're outfitting a field crew, building a uniform program for a restaurant or hospitality group, launching a branded merchandise line, or creating client gifts — custom embroidered hats at wholesale-equivalent pricing give you a premium brand program without the agency markup. Every order gets a free digital proof before we run a single stitch.

The process is straightforward: submit your logo (vector file or high-res PNG), we digitize it for embroidery at no extra charge, send you a digital proof for approval, then go to production. Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after proof approval. Rush turnaround is available. Free ground shipping on most orders. 12-piece minimum on all cap and hat styles.

Browse by style: custom trucker hats, snapback hats, flat bill caps, fitted hats, Richardson 112, or New Era caps. All styles are available for flat embroidery, 3D puff embroidery, or chain stitch embroidery.

Hat Styles and Brands

Our embroiderable hat catalog includes trucker hats, snapback hats, flat bill caps, fitted hats, Richardson 112 caps, and New Era caps. Top brands include Richardson, New Era, Yupoong, Otto Cap, and Pacific Headwear — all available with custom embroidery at wholesale-equivalent pricing for your business or brand program.

Decoration Methods

We offer three embroidery methods on custom hats. Flat embroidery lays the stitching directly against the fabric — the standard for most company logos. 3D puff embroidery uses a foam backing under the stitching to create a raised, dimensional logo — popular for bold wordmarks and athletic-style designs. Chain stitch embroidery is a vintage technique that produces a distinctive looped texture, often chosen for lifestyle brands and workwear programs.

Popular Uses

Custom embroidered hats are used by businesses across every industry: restaurants and hospitality groups outfitting their staff, construction and trades companies running uniform programs, real estate teams ordering branded client gifts, gyms and athletic clubs ordering team gear, and brands building merchandise programs. The 12-piece minimum makes it easy to start with a small first order.

What is the minimum order for embroidered hats?

Do you keep my artwork on file for reorders?

Yes. Once your logo is digitized for embroidery, we keep the file on record for all future orders. Reorders ship within the same standard 7–10 business day production window — no re-digitizing or additional setup fees required.

Can I order multiple hat styles with the same logo?

Yes. The same digitized artwork can be applied across any style in our catalog — trucker hats, snapbacks, fitted caps, flat bill hats, and more. This is common for businesses building multi-style brand programs. Each style requires its own 12-piece minimum.

Do you offer volume pricing on embroidered hats?

Yes. Pricing tiers apply at higher quantities — larger orders get a better per-unit price on both the hat blank and the decoration. Contact us for a custom quote on orders of 50+ pieces.

What is 3D puff embroidery?

3D puff embroidery uses a foam backing underneath the stitching to give your logo a raised, three-dimensional appearance on the hat. It's popular for bold wordmarks, athletic logos, and any design that benefits from added dimension and texture. Available on most structured hat styles in our catalog.

How long does hat embroidery production take?

Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after you approve your digital proof. Rush turnaround is available on most hat styles. Free ground shipping on qualifying orders within the contiguous US.
