What it is for
A patch is sewn or stuck onto a jacket, bag or cap, and turns any of them into something personal.
Check whether it is iron-on, sew-on or hook-and-loop backed.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation prints the design onto transfer paper with dye ink; heat then turns the dye into a gas that bonds into a polyester coating or polyester fibre.
Colour becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top, so it is vivid and does not crack or peel. It cannot print white: white in a design shows as the colour of the item itself, which is why sublimated items are white or pale.
There is no texture at all — on fabric you cannot feel the print, and on a mug it is under a smooth coating.
Designs that suit it
Bold outlines and few colours, like a badge.
The print area is on the front: 803 × 508 pixels, about 2.7 × 1.7 in at 300 dpi — a wide, landscape area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Full-colour photographs, paintings and edge-to-edge patterns. Less suited: designs that rely on white ink, and important detail right at seams, handles or edges where the transfer wraps.

Printed in North America, so it ships without an overseas leg and no import duties apply within North America.

Before you order
How long does the Dad Hat with Leather Patch (Rectangle) take to arrive?
To Canada, 5–15 business days, with first-item shipping at $13.28 CAD; to the US, 2–5 business days ($6.97 CAD). It is printed to order in Miami, FL, United States, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Dad Hat with Leather Patch (Rectangle)?
Yes. Sublimation reproduces photographs in full colour with no texture. White areas print as the item's own colour, so a photo with a white background blends into it. The print file is 803 × 508 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
What colours does the Dad Hat with Leather Patch (Rectangle) come in?
24 colours, including White / Light Brown patch, Black / Grey patch, Black / Black patch, Black / Light Brown, White / Black patch, Black / Pink patch, Grey / Black patch, Grey / Grey patch.
When should I order the Dad Hat with Leather Patch (Rectangle) for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by December 4 to Canada and December 18 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Dad Hat with Leather Patch (Rectangle)?
It is sublimation-printed, and that sets the care. Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. No bleach; the colour is in the fibre, so it will not crack.
