THE FIELD GUIDE
Branding & Personalization
Make it yours — all the way down to the finest detail.
A hat is already personal. Branding and personalization make it unmistakable.
No Bleubird hat is required to stay the way it arrived. Whether you want your initials burned into the leather band, a hand-selected ribbon, a custom feather arrangement, or a piece of something meaningful sewn in — we can do it.
Personalization is also available as a standalone service for hats you already own. Bring in your favorite hat and let’s give it a second life.
Hot Branding & Burning
Using iron stamp sets, Cheryl can hot-brand initials, symbols, monograms, and custom marks directly into leather hat bands and leather goods. The result is a clean, permanent impression that deepens with age — no ink, no paint, just heat and craft.
Starting at $15
Burned Artwork
For more intricate or freehand designs — florals, animals, geometric shapes, script lettering — Cheryl burns artwork directly into the leather using a fine tip. Completely custom and utterly one of a kind.

Ribbon & Hat Band Swaps
A ribbon change is the fastest way to completely transform a hat. Choose from hundreds of options — grosgrain, satin, printed fabrics, plaids, embroidered bands, and more. Mix and match to match your outfit, your season, or your mood.
$50
Leather Hat Bands
Hand-tooled or smooth leather bands add a refined, lasting finish. Leather bands can also be branded for an extra personal touch. Available in multiple widths and finishes.
Starting at $35
Feather & Floral Styling
Handcrafted feather or dried flower arrangements are pinned or affixed to the band to add texture, color, and personality. No two are exactly alike — these are assembled by hand for each hat.
Starting at $25
Trinkets, Textiles & Mementos
Have something meaningful you want incorporated — a vintage pin, a piece of fabric from a special garment, a family heirloom? Bring it in. If it can be worked into a hat, Cheryl will find a way.
