Bigfoot out for a stroll, feeling like everything is just right!
This is the Sasquatch we want to hang with. Growing up in the Northwest, Bigfoot was a fact of life. In Grade School, we had an expert come with actual castings of his feet. Spending time down at the river or exploring the woods, the thought of Bigfoot was always in the back of my mind. It doesn't matter if you believe it, but the idea is cool. A colossal being wandering around doing his thing all these years. While cooped up in 2020, we started playing around with bigfoot designs. Who has been better at social distancing than Sasquatch?
We’re happy to see people out and about again. It's time to snag a few Beanies and get back to exploring. Let us know if you happen to come across Sasquatch on your adventures!
The perfect leather patch beanie didn’t just make itself. When you shop with us, you’re benefiting from years of experience and hundreds of hours of experimentation.

We are proud to provide you with top-quality products, exceptional customer service, free shipping, and fast turnaround times.
Our custom leather patches are designed and created here in Lewiston, Idaho. Each patch is made of top-grain leather. Our Chestnut leather bigfoot patches are riveted onto our favorite beanies.
Our hats are made to order, and the placement of each patch may vary slightly.
The Beanie
Gently wash your beanie by hand using warm water. Your Beanie patch will weather nicely, but it's not made to go through the washing machine. Avoid high heat as the Beanie is made of Acrylic.
We are a small shop in Lewiston Idaho, the gateway to Hells Canyon, The Lewis and Clark Trail, and the Nez Perce and Clearwater Forests. Airplanes, Jet Boats, Fishing, Hunting, the outdoor recreational opportunities are unlimited. When you buy from us you are buying the whole experience. So grab a hat or tumbler, see what we are all about and join the gang.
Jason bought his hat from me last year. He is a member of a Helitack crew that I fly around in the summer. It was all I could do to pry this hat off him for a quick picture. He has a brand new one on the shelf, but this is the one I see him wearing. We are pretty confident when you grab one of our hats it will look like this one day.
When I say we are a small company I mean it. Mostly it has been my Golden retriever Kirby and I. We now have Malyn who is making us look cool on Instagram and editing product listings. We can't forget Kylie a recent LHS grad who makes a mean hat. We are looking to add more decorated apparel services in the future and I'm sure the team will continue to grow.
Our patches stay stuck. Heat pressing is our default method to attach patches. We use an industrial heat seal and attach the patches with heat and pressure.
These patches do stand the test of time however do have a few limitations as far as water goes. They stand up to hard physical activity just fine, a quick in the river, creek or pool is no problem.
I do not recommend the washer and dryer.
Hand stitched patch hats. This is the classic look for Leather Patch Hats. I do love this look and so we bought the equipment and set out to learn how.
It took a year of on and off practice, endless frustration, but we stuck with it and are now proud to offer this option for a small fee. We are charging $4.00 per patch for this service, and love the look.
Hand stitched hats may take just a bit longer, and hand sewing is limited at this time to the more basic shapes.
