# FAQ | Fitted Hat Co. Answers to what buyers ask Fitted Hat Co. most: minimums, fitted vs Flexfit, 3D puff, leather patches, New Era, pricing, artwork, proofs and turnaround. Canonical: https://fittedhatco.com/faq/ **What is the minimum order for custom fitted or snapback hats?** No hard minimum. The smallest price tier is 12-23 caps. One sample cap is possible at that tier plus the blank and digitizing. **What if my logo is more than 6,000 stitches?** Every embroidery price covers up to 6,000 stitches. Above that, each additional 1,000 stitches adds $2.00 per piece at 1-11 pieces, $1.50 at 12-23, $1.00 at 24-59, $0.60 at 60-79 and $0.50 at 80 or more, rounded up to the next 1,000. So a 12,000-stitch logo adds $6.00 per piece at 24 and $3.00 at 80 or more. We digitize first and tell you the exact count with the proof before you approve anything. **How much do custom fitted hats cost?** Decoration is $7.00 per cap at 12-47 and $5.00 at 80+ for flat embroidery, $7.50 to $5.00 for a leather patch, plus the blank. Flexfit and New Era blanks are quoted per job; a Richardson 112 snapback is $20.00 all-in at 48. 3D puff is quoted per design. **How long does an order take?** 28 days from the day you approve the digital proof. Rush is quoted per job. **Do you sell New Era hats?** We decorate New Era NE1000 and NE400 caps sourced through SanMar and quote the blank per job with New Era pricing respected. We do not list New Era blank prices. **What is the difference between fitted and Flexfit?** True fitted caps are sized to the head with no closure. Flexfit caps use an elastic band in two to four size ranges. Flexfit is easier to order for a group. See the guide on fitted vs Flexfit vs snapback. **Can you do 3D puff embroidery?** Yes, on structured caps. We quote puff per design and show a flat option beside it. **Why is 3D puff quoted per design instead of from the table?** Foam area and the dense satin stitching that covers it drive stitch count more than logo size does. Quoting from the art keeps the number accurate. **Can you put a leather patch on a flat bill?** Yes. Laser-engraved leather patches are $8.00 per cap at 1-23, $7.50 at 24-47, then $0.50 less every 24 down to $4.00 at 192+, glued; sewn adds $4–6 per hat. The Flexfit 180 Delta's seamless front takes the largest patches. **Is there a setup or digitizing fee?** Embroidery: $18.99 once per logo, kept on file for reorders. Leather patches: no setup fee. **What artwork do you need?** Vector (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) preferred; a 300 dpi PNG works. Send the quantity, style, colors and a size breakdown for sized caps. **Do I get a proof?** Yes. A digital proof before production with one round of revisions, included. **Can I mix cap colors or sizes in one order?** Yes. Same logo, any mix of colors and sizes, priced as one order. **Can I send my own caps?** Yes. $2.00 per cap handling plus decoration. Industry spoilage allowance is about 4%; we aim for zero but cannot replace customer-supplied caps damaged in production. **Where are the caps decorated?** In Battle Born Clothing's shop at 3 Pebble Beach Dr, Yerington, NV 89447. Embroidery and leather patches are done in-house. **Do you ship nationwide?** Yes. Freight is quoted with the order. **What if there is a mistake?** If the error is ours, we redo it free. **Which cap should I pick for a group I cannot measure?** A snapback such as the Richardson 112, YP 6089M or Flexfit 110F, or the one-size New Era NE400. **Which blanks do you stock?** Flexfit, Richardson and YP Classics through SanMar (Reno warehouse first) and S&S Activewear; Zapped Headwear as a dealer; Decky direct; New Era through SanMar. **Can you embroider the side or back too?** Yes. Side hits and back arch text are quoted per job as a second placement. **Do you make woven patches or custom-built caps?** No. We decorate stock blanks with embroidery, leather patches and pressed DTF transfers. No woven patches, no custom-manufactured caps. **How do reorders work?** Your digitized file or patch file is on file. Send the quantity and colors; the same 28-day turnaround applies from proof approval. **Can an AI agent request a quote for me?** Yes.
