Custom beanie hats with your logo

Turns out ​“bean” was old-school American slang for your head. Back in the early 1900s, some clever wordsmith noticed a cranium’s shape wasn’t so different from a bean.

The resemblance sparked phrases like ​“beanball” when a baseball narrowly misses a batter’s bean. So when knit caps started trending around the same era, their round form hugged heads so snugly the name ​“beanie” just made sense.

While the specifics of how beanies earned their moniker vary, the threads tying them back to beans and heads stay strong. 

Our custom beanies are the perfect gifts for employees or customers. Order them in bulk, from 144 hats (per style, per colorway) up to — however many you want. If you want a run of patch beanies, consider it done. If you’re looking for a beanie with ears, we’ve got you. Whatever type of stylish beanies you want for your company, we’re here to make it happen.

We have loads of other hat styles too. From bucket hats to embroidered trucker hats, we create the most amazing custom headwear on the planet. 

We can tailor your order with custom embroidery, screen printing, and custom patches — and that’s just for starters. Your options are limitless!

Our design process is in-depth and tailored to your goals. Whether you’re into classic design, five-panel design, or other popular hat styles, our designers will be speaking your language. We’ll help you settle on a style and then we’ll customize it for you.

A custom patch can make a unisex beanie stand out. Here are some of the options we offer for custom patches during those colder months.

Embroidered patches

Appliqué patches

• Can be felt, twill, faux fur, leather or other fabrics
• Applied using satin stitch or blanket stitch

Chenille patches

• Made from plush chenille yarn
• Soft texture for added tactile interest

Heat seal patches

• Made of soft vinyl, faux leather, or plasticized materials
• Applied with heat press without sewing

Suede patches

• Made from genuine or faux suede

Metallic patches

• Fabric coated with shimmery metallic foils
• Add eye-catching reflective brilliance

Carhartt is hands down one of the best brands making quality beanies. Known for their durable workwear roots, Carhartt infuses their knit caps with a perfect fusion of weather-ready toughness and laid-back casual style.

Cotton’s a natural all-star. It wicks moisture, breathes easily, and makes static cling disappear like your favorite beanie on a snowboard run.

Acrylic seems similar at first glance. Absorbs moisture? Check. Stretchy and durable? You know it. But acrylic tends to absorb odors and heat too. Not so fresh.

Wool is warmer than both cotton and acrylic, but also more expensive.

Beanies just get cooler, earning icon status across American subcultures. They blew up in the 2000s thanks to streetwear and skating trends going mass market.

Although originally worn by sailors, soldiers, and manual laborers needing weather-beating warmth, we now associate beanies with popular streetwear labels (e.g. Supreme, Obey) as well as tried-and-true outdoor brands (e.g. Patagonia, North Face, Pendleton).

Beanies from that iconic Y2K era are most definitely on their way back into mainstream style.

Turnaround time depends on whether you go with an off-the-shelf beanie with your logo, or you want to customize the details of the beanie, such as closure, material, stitching, and more. 

1. The standard turnaround time for producing an order of off-the-shelf hats is around 2 weeks (plus shipping time). If you have an event soon, or your in-hand date is approaching quickly, this is likely the best option to meet your deadline.
2. The turnaround time for custom hats can vary anywhere from 2 to 4 months, depending on different variables of the order. One variable that comes into play is your delivery date, which will help inform the shipment method of your order.
   1. Air shipping: 2 – 2.5 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 2 weeks for shipping)
   2. Ocean shipping: 3 – 4 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 3 months for shipping)
