About the Dad Hat
Made with the Yupoong 6245CM — a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel cap with a pre-curved brim and adjustable strapback closure. Soft and broken-in from day one, with a fit that conforms to your head shape. Available in 12 colours.
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 with natural character. It won't fade, crack, or peel. The kind of quality people notice.
Handmade in Ottawa, Canada
Our custom dad hats are handcrafted in our Ottawa workshop. From cutting the leather to milling your brass stamp and heat-stamping each patch, we handle every step. Lifetime craftsmanship guarantee — if we built it wrong, we'll make it right.

About Our Custom Dad Hats
Our custom dad hats are built on the Yupoong 6245CM — a relaxed, unstructured cap that's become one of the most requested styles for custom orders. Each hat features a heat-stamped full-grain leather patch with your logo, crafted by hand in our Ottawa workshop. The dad hat's low-profile fit and pre-curved brim give it a casual, broken-in look from day one — no break-in period needed. With 12 colours, 10+ patch shapes, and a 5-hat minimum, custom dad hats from Byward Outfitters work for coffee shops, creative studios, lifestyle brands, and anyone who wants a more laid-back alternative to the classic trucker. Unlike embroidered dad hats, our leather patches are heat-stamped for a deep, lasting impression that won't fade, crack, or peel. Design online or send us your logo for a free mock-up.
What's the difference between a dad hat and a trucker hat?
Dad hats are unstructured with a pre-curved brim and strapback closure — they sit low and relaxed on the head. Trucker hats have a structured front panel and mesh back with a snapback closure. Both take a leather patch equally well.
How many colours are available for custom dad hats?
12 colours in the Yupoong 6245CM lineup. You can browse all available options in our online customizer.
Can I order just one custom dad hat?
5 hats. The more you order, the lower the price per hat.
