Patch Pressing Instructions

Pressing Recommendations :

  • Single Platen

    We suggest starting at 300°F for 50-60 seconds with most materials, including leather that is 4oz or less of thickness. Some customers prefer pre-pressing the hat to warm it up with the top platen or pressing for additional time.

  • IQ 360 Press

    For most materials, the suggested setting will be 280°F on the top platen and 320°F on bottom platen for 45 seconds. For regular leatherette, 40 seconds will be a preferred starting point.

  • Branding Iron Hat Press

    Suggested settings for the Branding Iron are 280°F on top and 400°F on bottom for 45 seconds with medium pressure applied.

  • Household Iron – Not Recommended
