These are our OVERSIZED patches — designed for customers who need a larger size beyond our standard 6\" square inch limit. These are great for hats like 7 panel, flatbills and clients who really like to make a statement. As with all patches, we typically recommend about an 1\/8\" contour of leather to show around the image like the images shown. Upon purchase you will need to send the high res image you would like to have printed along with the size specifications you prefer. Since these are custom oversized patches, please specify your exact dimensions when sending your file. Your image should be high resolution, preferably in a vector file format (SVG, AI, etc) which allows us to easily convert it to a cut file. If your file is not considered high res or needs significant work there may be an additional charge of $15 to adjust your artwork.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe only use Lonestar Adhesive leatherette as their product is thicker, more durable, and has a stronger adhesive than anyone else on the market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeatherette is a vegan leather with heat activated adhesive already on the back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApplication instructions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreheat hat in hat press for 30 seconds at 325F with thin silicone sheet between the hat and platen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile heating hat, heat the back of the patch with a heat gun on low for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the adhesive change and the patch may begin to curl (reflective, more tacky) (note: it's a heat gun not a blow drier).
