Real Hide. Hand Sewn. Built to Last.

Saltgrain Co. makes full-grain leather patch hats for crews who wear them hard and businesses who stand behind their name.

How It's Made

Cut and Sewn by Hand

Each patch is engraved and cut from a sheet of real full grain leather, then it is cleaned, dyed, and sealed. Once cured, our staff sew them onto your hat of choice.

The Hide

Full-Grain Leather, Dyed and Sealed the Old Fashioned Way

Most patch hats you see use either faux or genuine leather, both of the worst quality.

Not us. Our leather is real hide with full grain, which allows you to see the imperfections in the animal's skin.

That means each Saltgrain patch tells a different story, making each hat unique, just like the person wearing it.
