Why Choose Our Custom Toques
Heat-Stamped, not Lasered
Your logo is pressed into full-grain leather using a custom brass die — not burned in with a laser. The result is a deep, textured impression - the kind of quality that gets noticed.
Handmade in Ottawa, Canada
Our custom leather patch toques are handcrafted in our Ottawa, Canada workshop. From cutting the leather to pressing your logo, we oversee each step to ensure consistent quality and attention to detail. When you order from Byward Outfitters, you're supporting local craftsmanship.

About our custom toques
-
What type of leather do you use for custom patches?
We use full-grain leather—the highest quality leather available. Full-grain means the hide's natural surface hasn't been sanded or buffed, so it's stronger, more durable, and develops a natural patina over time. It's the same leather used in premium wallets and belts, and it's why our patches look better the longer you wear them.
-
Why are your patches heat-stamped instead of laser-engraved?
We use heated brass dies to press your logo into full-grain leather, creating a deep, detailed impression with natural texture. Unlike laser engraving—which burns the surface and can look flat or scorched—heat-stamping produces a rich, premium look that won't fade or wear away over time. It's the same technique used by traditional leather craftsmen, and it's why our patches stand out.
-
What leather patch shapes are available?
We offer over 10 patch shapes including circle, square, rectangle, oval, diamond, and crest. You can choose your patch shape in our online customizer, or we can recommend one based on your logo. Different shapes work better for different logo styles—we're happy to help you pick.
-
What colours are available for custom toques?
Our custom toques are available in 5 colours: black, navy, heather grey, olive, and dark grey. All colours come in the same classic cuffed style. Not sure which colour works best for your logo? Send us your design and we'll recommend options.
-
What size are the toques?
Our toques are one-size-fits-most with a classic 12" length and folded cuff. The stretchy acrylic knit fits comfortably on most adults.
-
What file format do you need for my logo?
We accept PNG, JPG, AI, EPS, PDF, or HEIC files. High-contrast, black-and-white artwork works best for heat-stamping. If your logo has fine details or gradients, we may suggest simplifying it to ensure a clean impression. Not sure if your file will work? Send it over and we'll take a look.
-
Can you design a logo for me?
We're not able to create logos from scratch, but we can help prepare your existing logo for heat-stamping. If you have a rough idea or draft, send it over and we'll let you know if any adjustments are needed to ensure it stamps cleanly onto leather.
-
What's the minimum order for custom toques?
Our minimum order is just 5 toques. We wanted to make custom leather patch toques accessible for small businesses, teams, clubs, and events—not just companies ordering hundreds at a time.
-
How much do custom leather patch toques cost?
Pricing starts at $30 per toque for orders of 5-9 and decreases with quantity—down to $13.50 per toque for orders of 200 or more. There's no setup fee, and the price includes your custom brass stamp, full-grain leather patch, and heat-stamping.
-
How long does it take to receive custom toques?
Most custom toque orders ship within 2-3 weeks from the date you place your order. This includes time to review your design, craft your custom brass stamp, heat-stamp your leather patches, and complete a quality check before shipping. Need them faster? Reach out—rush timing depends on order size and our current production schedule.
-
What is your return policy for custom toques?
Because each custom order is made uniquely for you, we're not able to accept returns once production begins. However, we review every design before we start and will reach out if we spot any issues. We're committed to making sure you're happy with the final product.
-
What does your lifetime craftsmanship guarantee cover?
We stand behind the quality of our work. If your leather patch peels, cracks, or separates from the toque due to a craftsmanship defect, we'll replace it—no time limit. This doesn't cover normal wear and tear, but it does mean you can trust that your toques are built to last.
