Build the cap
Recolor the panels with fabric-aware fill, swap materials, pick closures and hardware, and drop your artwork straight onto the 3D surface.
Preview real decoration
Turn your logo into flat embroidery, 3D puff, chenille or a printed graphic with AI recipes that match real manufacturing techniques.

Catalog dad hats vs the CBOs Studio
Category sites decorate an existing blank. A flat mockup can't tell you how your logo sits on a soft, curved crown.
| Catalog customizer | CBOs | |
|---|---|---|
| The cap itself | Blank from a supplier catalog | Your construction: crown, brim, fabric, trims |
| Embroidery preview | Logo pasted on a photo | Embroidery and 3D puff rendered on the curved 3D surface |
| Before bulk | Digital proof only | 1 physical sample for $60, about 7 days |
| Branding | Decoration only | Private label: woven labels, hangtags, packaging |

Dad hat design FAQ
Can I design a dad hat online for free?
Yes. Open the dad hat model in the CBOs 3D Studio from your browser — desktop, iPhone or iPad — and start designing free, no credit card and nothing to install.
What embroidery size works on a dad hat?
Small-to-medium front embroidery reads best on an unstructured crown. Because the CBOs preview is a true 3D model, you can judge your logo's scale on the actual curve instead of guessing from a flat template.
Structured or unstructured — which one is a dad hat?
A dad hat is unstructured with a curved brim and low profile. If you want a structured cap, the snapback and fitted models in the Studio cover that — you can compare them side by side.
What is the minimum order for custom dad hats?
Start with 1 physical sample for $60 (about 7 days). Bulk production starts at 50 pieces per model and colorway, usually around $15-20 per cap.
Can I get renders of my dad hat for my store?
Yes. From the same 3D design you can generate an HD photo pack (8 product views) plus vertical 360 videos for product pages, pre-orders and social content.
