Faux Leather Patches

The rugged leather look without the hide — a synthetic material that takes a crisp debossed logo, resists weather, and keeps costs down on larger runs.

A leather look in a synthetic material

Faux leather patches are cut from a durable synthetic sheet that mimics the grain and finish of real leather. Your logo is debossed or engraved into the surface, then the patch is stitched onto the garment with a visible border stitch that becomes part of the design.

Compared with genuine hide, faux leather is more consistent from patch to patch, lighter, less expensive at higher quantities, and fully vegan — which matters to a growing number of brands and teams.

Best applications

It is the go-to for the modern trucker and rope hat look, and it carries the same appeal on beanie tags, canvas totes, duffels, backpacks, aprons, and hoodie chest tags. Breweries, outfitters, real estate teams, and outdoor brands lean on it heavily because it reads premium at a glance.

Faux leather handles clean line art, wordmarks, and outlines extremely well. Very fine detail and photographic artwork do not deboss cleanly, so for those we will point you toward print and stitch patches instead.

Weather, care, and choices

Because the material is synthetic, it shrugs off moisture better than untreated leather and will not darken unevenly from rain or sweat. Wipe it clean rather than scrubbing, wash the garment cool and inside out, keep it away from high dryer heat, and never press a hot iron directly onto the patch face.

Pick your color and finish, patch shape, size, and stitch thread color, and we will apply the patches to your hats or bags in-house. As with all our patches, there is no minimum — we run 10 to 10,000 pieces, custom patch creation starts around $5.57 for 100, and every order includes a free digital mock-up before production.
