How the Customization Works
Send us your fire company logo, patch artwork, or a description of what you want. If you do not have artwork ready, we can work from a clean image of your existing patch or shoulder rocker. Most fire department hats are decorated with embroidery on the front panel, with optional back or side embroidery for unit designations.
Common placements we run for fire companies:
- Front center: Fire company name and Maltese cross
- Back: Station number, town, or "VFD"
- Side: Rank or specialty unit (Engine 1, Rescue 3, Tanker 24)
Stock colors run from traditional navy and black through high-visibility yellow and red. Thread colors are matched to your fire company colors, not capped at a preset palette.
Quantities That Fit a Fire Company
No warehouse-level minimums. A six-person rescue squad can order six hats. A 40-member volunteer company can order 40. Auxiliary fundraiser runs, recruitment events, and parade days all order from this collection.
If you are running a fundraiser, ask us about a custom webstore for your fire company. Members and supporters order direct, we handle production, and your treasury collects the margin without managing inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom fire department hats?
Most styles in this collection start at low minimums suited to fire company rosters. Send us a quantity and the style you have in mind, and we will confirm the minimum and price for that specific hat.
Can you embroider our existing fire company patch design?
Yes. Send a clean image of your patch or logo and we will digitize it for embroidery. Digitizing is a one-time setup. Once your fire company logo is in our system, every future order uses the same file.
What styles of fire department hats do you offer?
This collection includes baseball caps, snapbacks, trucker hats, dad hats, rope hats, and beanies. If you need a style not shown, contact us. We have access to a broader catalog than what is listed online.
Do you produce hats for volunteer fire departments and career departments?
Both. We work with volunteer fire companies, combination departments, and career fire departments. Pricing, minimums, and turnaround are the same regardless of department type.
How long does production take for fire department hat orders?
Most fire company hat orders complete within 7 to 10 business days after artwork approval, depending on quantity and current production volume. Rush turnaround is available when needed. Contact us with your event date and we will work back from there.
Can we order matching fire department shirts and job shirts to go with the hats?
Yes. Many fire companies order hats alongside job shirts, t-shirts, and sweatshirts for a complete station apparel set. See our firefighters collection, job shirts collection, and firefighter gifts collection for related items.
