Patch finishes

Patch types & finishes

Why leather

A patch built to be worn

A leather patch gives a cap a clean, hard-wearing finish that suits outdoor, workwear and hospitality brands alike.

Genuine leather

Genuine leather and cow suede in 71 colours across 14 ranges.

Engraved in our workshop

Laser-engraved for fine detail, then cut and stitched on in Kempton Park.

Nothing to peel

An engraved patch carries no ink, so there is nothing to peel or rub off.

No two alike

Leather grain varies from hide to hide, so every patch is slightly different.
