The extra panel does not have a seam down the middle of the hat allowing for more space to work with. An exception being if the hat has 5 panels instead of the more traditional 6. In this case the logo can only be 2.75 inches wide and 2.25 inches high. Text needs to be at minimum ¼ in high for the best results. The design would look best if it did not involve text as the sewing field is restricted by size.

The front left panel (when wearing the hat). Typically 4 ½ inches wide by 2 ½ inches tall. It also has the benefit of the largest sewing area to work in. Round logos, horizontal logos, text or design. This is by far the most common area and also the most versatile. I’ll also let you know the dimensions we have to work within those spaces. (Not recommended by this author) But let’s take a look at some common placements and what type of logo would look best in that area. I’ve even had a customer get 6 DIFFERENT signatures embroidered on ONE hat before. While most logos are sewn on the Center Front, many others can get pretty creative in their placement.

We get this question a lot at JohnnyBattle.
