ALL DTF transfers use 300 to 310 degrees. Your over cooking your transfers. Too much heat will dull the colors and decrease the bonding to the leather.

Very helpul! I appreciate your no nonsense approach and sharing sources.

How did you start the stitch??

Buy a thousand dollar post bed with a roller wheel and reducing gear. Never look back .

Yeah. Big secret. And leather patches on hats are soooo desirable. Pfft.....

So I’m confused. Hybond or the leather cement? Your videos have two recommendations. Wondering which has served you the best? I’ve had an evolving t-shirt company for 9 years with two locations. I’ve missed out on the cap end of the business. I’ve lost a lot of ball teams to other companies doing the whole package. Time to step up. Like my clothing lines. I don’t want anything going out the door to come back. Going DTF has been more costly but since switching from silk screen to DTF. I haven’t had an item come back in 1 1/2 years. I already DTF leather for keychains, wallets, lanyards, headbands and on and on. Thinking the DTF leather patches would knock it out of the park. Thanks for your videos.

why not secret sauce? not working good on hats?

just started, 2 pcs of mdf and a clamp for woodworking doing the work perfect. thanks for the video

Thanks!!!

Look up budget arbor press and clicker dyes for cutting out you patches. It will save you alot of time

😊 nice work

Great video! In this video, is the heat press on or off? Meaning are you just using it for even pressure (with it turned off) or are you using it for pressure and heat to adhere the patch to the cap (with it turned on)? Thanks!

In the vid, the hat is being flailed around a lot. It's not clear to me what pattern you are doing, are you going forward one hole on the top, and skipping one on the bottom?

Excellent video!! Thank you for sharing

Awesome. Thanks

When removing the masking, I use duck brand duct tape. Beautiful patch.

What size are the holes you are precutting for the thread to go through.

I enjoy your videos, where did you buy the glow in the dark patches. Think you Sir ! God Bless!

Motivation! Im going to work harder!

nice congrats

No instructions came with the Lonestar Adhesive. So I used the same numbers that I use for Stahls' patches 320/280 30 seconds. I found out it should have been 45 seconds. That extra 15 seconds is crucial. I let the caps sit 24 hours to cure. I then tried to pull one of the patches off one of the caps. With only MODERATE pulling, the patch came right off. The adhesive did not adhere to the leather. All the glue was baked onto the cap. Huge bummer. Outrageous that Lonestar would not include Instructions with that adhesive. I am beyond pissed.

Those Ultra Color Max transfers on shirts are hot peel after 15 seconds. Why on leather do we cold peel and press a 2nd time. Not being a smartass, I just genuinely want to know what the advantage is.

bra 7 5/8 hat is not a 22 1/2 inch head thats more like 23 and a half or 24 inch head

I hope your sitting down for this one. Painting leather patches is not how we add color. Heat press a DTF transfer to your leather in color

Learnt a lot, and a nice warm story too :)

Quality video production 🫡

Cool, thanks

Good video 🫡

Looking for a hat for my big head with my company logo. Can you do that?

What temperature are you using for these hats?

Yeah but did you see what happened to the patch between 5:15 and 5:27?

What kind of needle was used?

Great video

Great video bud. Just liked and subscribed. Btw. Where do you purchase your rope caps wholesale ?

I truly do love your humility and way of explaining this video kid. Thank you man. I've been doing and designing stuff for over 12 years, and this was sweet and helpful. Thanks bud.

Cool video! DTF is a game changer. You can cut leather on a Cricut using a knife blade. There is a limit to the thickness but it speeds up making shapes 😎

So do the hats just grow on trees?

I have extremely wide head. The brim of most baseball or trucker hats is narrower than my face. Only thing that looks good is a kangol newsboy type hat XL

Looking for video 2 . Don’t have heat tronix

my guy! we thinking the same

What model hat is that? Looks good

Too labor intense. How do you make any money?

Thanks Gabe!

A pair of nice scissors works better than an exacto knife to cut out circles from my experience. Great video. Thanks.

I hate the foam truckers, I think they’re cheap lol

I used heat tape a couple times and it left an imprint on my leather

Dont use non stick paper. Any increases in paper, will leave marks on the leather

If you have a cap heat press, you can use double sided HTV film for faster work time and even better adhesion
