Virtual Hat Bar
How do I customize my hat?
If you are creating your own hat, go to our Virtual Hat Bar and select your hat, bands, add-on accessories, and personalized branding. Select as many options as you want and we will make your vision come to reality!
If you are purchasing a West Hill Designed Hat, personalize it further with branding or more add-on accessories.
I want a custom hat, but am not very creative...could you create a hat for me?
Yes! We have a great selection of pre-designed hats - check out West Hill Designed Hats. You can further personalize these hats with branding and more add-on accessories.
If you still have not found what you are looking for, please send us an e-mail with your style, favorite colors, interests, initials, symbols or numbers important to you!
We are always happy to help and love creating one-of-kind pieces unique to you!
How do I make sure branding is in the order and where I want it?
Select all branding characters you want and add them to the cart. In your cart, write in "special instructions":
- Order of characters (e.g., MLB75,longhorn)
- Area of characters (e.g., crown, top brim, under brim)
- Location of characters (e.g., N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW - N = front, S = back)
Notes example: 'MLB75 top brim S, longhorn crown NE' will brand "MLB75" on top brim on back of hat, and "longhorn" symbol on front right part of crown.
Can I customize multiple hats in the same order?
Of course! Select multiple hats and items you want for all hats. We find it easier to create one hat a time, and then simply repeat the steps - let your imagination run wild!
Before checking out, please go to your cart and identify which options go with what hat in "special instructions".
Can I see my custom hat before it gets branded and shipped?
Yes, if you want to see your custom created hat before we brand or ship, please let us know in the "special instructions" section of your cart. Otherwise, we will ship to you once your custom hat is complete.
