Branded winter hats: how to keep your team warm (and on brand)

· Kingston Branding

Navy bobble hats with an embroidered logo at the Kingston Branding workshop in Hull

When the mornings turn cold, a good hat makes more difference than almost anything else your team wears. Put your logo on it and it does a second job too: every site visit, school run and match day becomes a bit of free advertising. The navy bobble hats in the photo above came off our machines this week, embroidered in white and boxed up for a customer. Here is how to choose the right branded winter hat, and what to wear with it.

Bobble hats: the winter favourite

Our new bobble hats section brings every pom pom hat together in one place. The hats in our photo are the Beechfield Snowstar (BC450) in French Navy/Light Grey. It comes in 25 colour combinations, so it is easy to match club or company colours, and the two-tone pom pom makes even a simple logo look like proper club merchandise. For chunkier, more premium gifts, look at the Apres (BC437) or the Hygge (BC390).

Beanies for work: no bobble, more warmth

If your team wears a hood or a hard hat, a bobble just gets in the way. A plain cuffed beanie sits flatter and still gives a neat area for your logo. For the coldest jobs, pick one with insulation or a lining. Browse every style in beanies.

Where your logo goes

On a cuffed hat, the logo is stitched on the front of the cuff, up to 7cm wide. The cuff gives a flat, stable area, so hats are always embroidered rather than printed. We set your logo up free, and for every new logo we stitch an actual sample and email you a photo to approve (or you can pop in to see it) before your order runs. Read more about our embroidery in Hull.

Caps and sun hats for the rest of the year

When the weather warms up, the same logo looks just as good on a cap. See our caps, trucker and snapback caps and bucket and sun hats, or browse all hats.

Finish the winter uniform

A hat is only half the story. Pair it with a branded fleece, a softshell jacket, a padded jacket or a gilet or bodywarmer. Working by the roadside or on site? Our hi-vis jackets keep your team warm and seen. Building a greener uniform? Many of our hats and jackets are in the sustainable range.

How to order branded hats

  1. Pick your hat and colour. Most of our hats show a live price with your logo on the product page.
  2. Add it to your basket, upload your logo, then pay by card or send it as a free quote.
  3. We set up your logo, stitch a sample for you to approve, then embroider your order in our Hull workshop. Most orders are ready 2 to 5 working days after you approve your sample.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you embroider a logo on a bobble hat?

Yes. We embroider your logo on the front of the cuff, up to 7cm wide. The cuff gives a flat, stable area, which is why hats are always embroidered rather than printed.

Can I order just a few branded hats?

Yes, you can order from one hat. Logo setup is free, and the logo price drops as you order more.

How long do branded hats take?

For every new logo we stitch an actual sample and email you a photo to approve first (or you can pop in to see it). Most orders are ready 2 to 5 working days after you approve it.

Which hat is warmest for outdoor work?

Pick a lined or insulated beanie, such as the Portwest Insulated Knit Beanie (B013) or the Scruffs Thinsulate Beanie (SH084). With no bobble, they also fit under a hood or hard hat.
