Cutthroat Leatherette Patches: Fishing-Inspired Style for Custom Hats
Cutthroat leatherette patches add an outdoor-inspired printed pattern to custom hats instead of relying on a plain solid-color surface. The UV-printed design gives the material a distinctive look that works naturally for fishing, outdoor, and recreation-focused branding.
What Makes Cutthroat Leatherette Patches Stand Out?
Cutthroat is a flexible UV-printed pattern rather than a conventional solid two-tone leatherette. LoneStar does not specify a particular base or underlayer color exposed during engraving, so the defining visual feature is the printed Cutthroat pattern itself. LoneStar also notes that its UV-printed patterns may require slightly higher laser power when producing finer engraved details.
For hats and thread, tan, olive, charcoal, dark brown, cream, and black can complement the outdoor character without overpowering the printed surface.
The Material Behind the Color

These custom Cutthroat patches are cut from top-tier Premium Leatherette® supplied by LoneStar Adhesive. LoneStar describes the material as thicker and more reliable than typical leatherette and developed through testing and manufacturing improvements to be laser friendly. The Heritage Cutthroat sheets combine that construction with flexible UV-printed ink for distinctive custom engraving and crafting projects.
Why the Heritage Collection?
The Heritage Collection uses Premium Leatherette® with a smooth surface and satin sheen designed to improve engraving and cleaning qualities. Cutthroat adds flexible UV printing to that foundation, while the approximately 1.5 mm material provides a thicker construction and comes backed with American-made Durra-Bull™ thermal-activated adhesive. This combination makes it practical for laser engraving, cutting, and heat-applied patch work. Explore the Heritage Leatherette Collection for other materials in the range.

Where Cutthroat Patches Work Best?

Cutthroat Premium Leatherette is a natural match for fishing guides, tackle shops, outdoor outfitters, lodges, fishing clubs, tournament merchandise, adventure brands, and recreational apparel. Because the printed surface already supplies visual interest, cleaner logos, initials, location names, and simple engraved artwork can help Cutthroat hat patches stay readable and balanced.
