Why Columbia? Because Quality Matters

Columbia Sportswear has spent over 85 years perfecting outdoor gear that performs in real-world conditions. When you put your logo on a Columbia beanie, you're associating your brand with a name that's earned trust across generations of outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and working professionals.

Built for Winter Performance: The City Trek Heavyweight Beanie isn't a promotional throwaway. The 100% acrylic construction provides exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio—keeping heads warm without the sweaty, overheated feeling of cheaper beanies. Acrylic fibers retain heat even when damp, dry quickly, and maintain their shape through countless washes. This is a beanie your team will actually reach for on cold mornings.

Classic Roll Cuff Design: The roll cuff serves both style and function. It creates a clean surface for your custom leather patch to display prominently, provides adjustable coverage (roll it higher or lower depending on preference), and delivers the timeless beanie aesthetic that works everywhere from ski slopes to city streets. The small Columbia logo patch near the top of the cuff adds subtle brand authenticity without competing with your custom branding.

Universal Appeal: Whether your team member is 18 or 68, working a winter festival booth or skiing on their day off, the City Trek Beanie works. The heavyweight knit looks substantial and professional, the fit accommodates most head sizes comfortably, and the style is classic enough to remain relevant season after season.

Custom Leather Patch Options

While most custom beanies feature embroidered logos, we elevate yours with a premium laser-engraved leather patch—a distinctive upgrade that creates lasting impressions and sets your winter headwear apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order is just 6 pieces, perfect for small teams, startups, or businesses testing custom winter headwear without committing to bulk quantities.

Why choose a leather patch over embroidery on beanies?
Leather patches offer a distinctive premium upgrade that stands out in the crowded custom beanie market. Benefits: more detailed logo reproduction (laser engraving captures fine lines better than embroidery on knit fabric), unique tactile quality creates memorable impression, vintage aesthetic that ages beautifully, and differentiation from thousands of standard embroidered beanies. Leather patches work exceptionally well for outdoor brands, heritage companies, and businesses wanting to make a lasting impact.

How warm is this beanie?
Very warm. The heavyweight 100% acrylic construction provides excellent insulation for cold weather, typically comfortable in temperatures from 50°F down to well below freezing. Acrylic fibers trap body heat effectively while remaining breathable enough to prevent overheating during active movement. This isn't a lightweight promotional beanie—it's functional winter headwear your team will genuinely appreciate on cold days.

Will the leather patch hold up through washing?
Yes. Our leather patches are securely sewn onto the beanie (not glued), ensuring they stay attached through machine washing and tumble drying. Customers report patches remaining firmly attached and looking great after dozens of wash cycles. The laser engraving is permanent and won't fade or wash out.

How quickly will I receive my proof?
Most proofs are sent the same day your order is placed, typically within 2-4 hours during business hours. You'll see a digital mockup showing exactly how your logo will appear on the leather patch.

What's the turnaround time?
Production takes 7 to 10 business days after you approve your proof. Factor in 3-5 business days for ground shipping. Most businesses receive their beanies within two weeks of ordering.

Do you help with artwork?
Absolutely! Our design team provides free artwork conversion and optimization. Send us your logo in any format—website download, business card photo, low-resolution file, anything. We'll convert it to production-ready artwork optimized for leather engraving.

Can I order different beanie colors in one order?
Yes! You can mix and match colors within a single order, as long as you meet the 6-piece minimum total. Many businesses order multiple colors to give team members options or to coordinate with different uniforms. Contact us before ordering to discuss color breakdowns.

Will this beanie fit everyone on my team?
Yes, in nearly all cases. The stretchy acrylic knit accommodates a wide range of head sizes comfortably—typically from small adult through extra-large. The one-size-fits-most design means you don't need to collect head measurements from your team.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! Orders over $200 ship free anywhere in the contiguous United States via ground service. Expedited shipping and delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, or international locations require additional fees shown at checkout.

How does reordering work?
Reordering is simple. Once your leather patch design is approved, we keep your artwork on file permanently. Future orders require no new setup fees, no design work, and no proof approval unless you want changes. Just place your reorder—we'll produce using your existing approved design.

Can I order a sample first?
Yes. You can order a single sample beanie with your custom leather patch to evaluate quality and logo appearance before ordering for your full team. Contact us directly to discuss sample pricing and timeline.

When should I order for winter season?
We recommend ordering 3-4 weeks before you need your beanies to account for proofing, production, and shipping. Fall months (September-November) are peak season for custom beanie orders as businesses prepare for winter, so earlier ordering ensures faster turnaround.
