Leather patch hats for outfitters and hunting guides
Guides wear them, clients buy them, and the lodge sells them at the counter. The combination that works is a camo or earth-tone structured trucker, a badge-style patch and a sewn edge.
Who they are
Hunting outfitters, fishing guides, lodges, charter operations and hunt clubs. Orders are seasonal: one run before the fall season, often a second for spring.
What they order
- Richardson 112 in camo or brown/khaki, or the 168 seven-panel for a larger badge patch.
- Sewn patches, since the hats get used.
- A client-gift run plus a resale run on the same patch.
- Beanies for late-season hunts.
