How it works

Pick a hat, press on the patches you like, and swap them any time. Each patch has a hook and loop back that sticks to any loop-front trucker hat, like our Canvas, so nothing gets sewn or glued. You build your own look, one patch at a time.

What to pick

The ones people will argue over

Ho Ho Ho Highland Cow ($7.99, 2.5 in). A shaggy highland calf under a Santa hat with a sprig of holly.
Merry Enough ($7.99, 2.5 in). A round retro ornament with a calm deadpan face.
MOOdini ($7.99, 2.5 in). A Highland cow magician in a top hat and tuxedo.
Snailed It ($7.99, 2.5 in). For anyone taking their sweet time and getting there anyway.

Funny and a little pointed

Truth Bomb ($7.99, 2.5 in). For the friend who just says it out loud.

Dad Tax ($7.99, 2.5 in). A fry carton with one fry clearly missing.
Udderly Exhausted ($7.99, 2.5 in). A sleepy highland cow in a vintage badge.
