Back embroidery requires additional setup time in production. The 6-hat minimum makes it economically viable for both the shop and the customer.
Can I get back + side embroidery on the same hat?
Yes. You can combine front, left side, right side, and back embroidery on a single hat. Each placement is priced independently at +$5/hat.
Will I see the back embroidery on my proof?
