Custom Hat Quotes & Proof Help

If you already know the exact hat and artwork, you can keep ordering from the product pages. If you need help choosing the blank, patch or embroidery path, quantity, timing, or proof direction, start here.

This page is for help before ordering; product pages are still the fastest path when you know what you want.

BCH will look at what you are trying to make, help narrow the practical options, and point you toward the cleanest next step before production starts.

Good for business hats, crew gear, school or church orders, events, fundraisers, gifts, and group runs that need a little guidance first.

Tell us the job

Quantity, deadline, shipping ZIP, and who the hats are for.

Send what you have

Logo, sketch, photo, PDF, or just clear design notes.

Pick the right path

Leather patch, embroidery, beanie, rope hat, flat bill, or patch-only.

Approve before production

Proof direction comes first, then production and shipping.

What BCH helps sort out

Most custom orders are not hard — they just need the right first decision.

A bold logo may be better as a leather patch. Smaller text may need embroidery or artwork cleanup. A rush event may change which blanks make sense. This page is for those in-between orders where a little human review saves time.

The buying motion

From rough idea to finished hats

Tell BCH what you need

Send the quantity range, deadline, shipping ZIP, and the rough purpose of the order.

Share logo or artwork

If you have a logo, PDF, PNG, patch photo, or sketch, mention it. If not, plain-language notes are fine to start.

Choose the practical path

BCH helps point you toward leather patch, embroidery, patch-only, or a specific hat style.

Quote and proof direction

You get order direction before assuming price breaks, timelines, or event delivery.

Approve the proof

Production should not begin until the design direction is approved.

Production and shipping

Once approved, the order moves into the build queue and ships when complete.

What to include

A good request is simple.

You do not need perfect artwork to ask. The more practical details you include, the faster BCH can tell you what makes sense.

  • How many hats or patches you are thinking about
  • Deadline or event date, if there is one
  • Shipping ZIP code
  • Preferred hat style, color, or “not sure yet”
  • Logo/artwork status: ready file, rough sketch, photo, or idea
  • Any budget, resale, team, client-gift, or fundraiser context

Clean artwork helps, but a rough starting point is enough to begin the conversation.

Start here

Send the order details you know.

This form goes through the site contact flow. It does not upload files, so if you already have artwork, say what you have. BCH can reply with the best place to send it, or you can upload artwork directly on product pages when you are ready to order.

Prefer email? Send the same details to contact@bwc-hc.com.

No payment is collected here. This is for quote, proof, style, and next-step help before production.

Quick answers

Common custom order questions

Can I still order straight from a product page?

Yes. If you know the hat and have artwork or notes ready, use the product page. This page is for orders that need help first.

Do I need polished artwork before asking?

No. A clean logo file is best, but a sketch, photo, initials, or plain description can be enough to start the conversation.

Is this only for bulk orders?

No. Bulk and group runs are a good fit, but smaller orders can use this page when the hat style, artwork, or proof path is not obvious yet.

Where do larger runs go?

If you already know you need a larger company, team, school, church, fundraiser, or event run, the bulk custom hat page is also useful.
