Questions, answered.
Can you make custom hats with my logo?
Absolutely. Send your logo file (preferred: black-and-white vector—.AI, .SVG, or .PDF). If you only have a picture, we can often convert it for a small setup fee. You’ll receive a proof before engraving.
What’s the minimum order?
For most custom patch hats, the minimum is 12 hats per design. We also run small-batch options for fundraisers and events—just ask.
How long do custom orders take?
Average turnaround is 7–10 business days after artwork approval. Rush options are available depending on hat stock.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes—local pickup is available in Southeast Kansas (McCune area). You’ll get pickup details via email once your order is ready.
How long does shipping take?
Ready-to-ship stock hats usually leave within 1–2 business days. USPS and UPS typically deliver within 3–5 days in the U.S.
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, we primarily ship within the U.S., but we can quote international orders—just reach out through the contact form.
Can I return or exchange my order?
Custom orders can’t be returned since they’re made to your specs, but if we made an error, we’ll make it right.
Stock hats can be exchanged within 7 days of delivery if unworn and in original condition.
What’s a “Hat Bar”?
It’s our on-site custom patch hat experience. You pick your hat, choose your patch, and we press it on the spot. Perfect for corporate events, fairs, and fundraisers.
Will the engraving fade?
No—the engraving is permanent and will outlast the hat itself under normal wear. Avoid prolonged soaking or harsh chemicals.
Who runs WR Designs & 849 Hat Co?
Both brands are owned and operated by Will Peden, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and designer since 2008. Every hat and design is built with purpose and crafted with passion right here in Kansas.
