Usually stitched on hats, a leather hat patch is an elaborate embroidery piece cut from durable leather or synthetic materials. Aside from leather, it can also be created by scree printing, embossing, or working on the leather itself. Luxury brands from Europe make good use of it with their monograms, South American paus use them as leather medallions and North American outdoor gears creatively incorporate them into workmanlike emblems along with other regions.
