Custom Leather Patch Hat for Infant and Youth

All patches are laser engraved, and bonded to your hat. Not stitched or sewn. We custom make each patch shape for your specific order cut from full hides of 100% genuine top grain leather. We can also special order other brands, styles, colors. Just ask us! Please use our hat color chart in the photos to reference the drop-down menu. If you see a color on our chart but not the drop-down menu, it means we are currently out of stock. Make sure you are choosing the correct style/color/size from the dropdown before you checkout.
HOW TO ORDER:
1. Select hat color from drop-down. All colors/styles are shown in a photo in our listing.

• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Since all leather hides are different, not all products will look the same. That is the beauty of leather. Each item is unique in its own way.
• HOW WE MAKE THE PATCHES: All of our hats are engraved, etched, and cut with our laser machine to achieve the best quality for your hat.
• HAT STOCK/COLORS: CONSTANTLY CHANGING RIGHT NOW WITH FACILITY PRODUCTION DELAYS STILL ONGOING FROM COVID-19 AND SHIPPING DELAYS AND BACK ORDERS. ALL COLORS ARE CURRENT BUT WE MAY RUN INTO STOCK ISSUES DEPENDING ON SIZE OF ORDER. WE WILL MESSAGE YOU IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS.
•LEATHER INFO: Since these are laser engraved that involves charring/burning of the leather. To avoid smudging we advise to please avoid rubbing the engraved artwork. The char will settle in but when you first open your box just take in the beauty, throw it on your head, take a selfie, and tag us on Instagram @war.buffalo.co
We use only the best leather from companies based in the USA. The rust colored leather has a 3-4 oz. thickness. If you order multiple hats you may notice that each patch while looking the same has it's own uniqueness. We always use the same color from the same tannery but some patches may have slightly different color variations (lightness or darkness). Since all leather hides are different, not all products will look the same. That is the beauty of leather. Each item is unique in its own way. We will occasionally have other colors of leather in limited quantities. If you prefer another color to our normal rust leather color, please reach out and we can discuss your options. While leather can get wet, please avoid washing even with a proper hat cage for your washing machine. We offer very affordable prices on our hats so when one is done...get a new one ;) War Buffalo & Co. takes extreme pride in all of our work.

- What is your lead time?
- Our standard turnaround time from place of order, to shipping is 7-10 business days. It could be longer or shorter based on the time of year, influx of orders, or holiday season. We try to keep a decent inventory of items, but sometimes life happens and we only have a few. Don't let the discourage you. If you need to place a large custom order, please contact us and we can get items ordered and shipped to us in about 7-10 business days. The order will begin once the items our in our hands.
- Can we use my artwork?
- Of course we can. We do prefer to use digital Vector files such as EPS, PDF, AI, or SVG files. If you are unsure what those are or what you have, we can work with a high quality/ resolution of your logo, picture, or design and have it converted to one of these files. Having to convert to the proper file will increase the production time. A proof can be requested at the time of order. If a proof in not requested your image, design, or logo will be printed/ engraved as is.
- Can you engrave on metal?
- We can mark some metal using a product that fuses to the metal. However we do not have a Fiber Laser which is needed to engrave into metal.
- Can you engrave using my favorite sports team logo?
- Unfortunately we can not do that. If its a local school there is a possibility we can. All we need to do is touch base for their permission. The NFL, NBA, Pac-10, Pac-12 and all other large sports affiliations, are all licensed products. We are not a large enough company yet for them to allow us to have their permission but hope to be there one day.
