Red Leatherette Patches: Carbon-Fiber Energy for Custom Hats

Red Carbon Fiber brings a bright, high-impact look with a technical patterned surface. Its sporty character makes red leatherette patches a strong choice for custom hats that need to feel energetic, modern, and easy to notice.

What Makes Red Leatherette Patches Stand Out?

The material combines a red carbon-fiber patterned face with a black underlayer, creating dark contrast when the design is engraved. This contrast helps logos, lettering, borders, and small graphic details remain visually distinct instead of blending into the red surface.

Black, charcoal, white, silver, or navy thread and hat colors complement the red-and-black appearance particularly well.

The Material Behind the Color

Print Phase patches are made from LoneStar Adhesive's Premium Leatherette®, a top-tier material developed to be thicker, more reliable, and laser-friendly. The listed Carbon Fiber Red sheets measure 12 by 24 inches and are approximately 0.059 inches, or 1.5 mm, thick.

Why the Carbon Fiber Collection?

The Carbon Fiber Leatherette Collection uses a carbon-fiber patterned finish that adds visual depth without requiring extra decoration. Its thicker, reliable construction supports durable laser engraved leatherette patches with clean contrast against the black layer. The Durra-Bull™ option is pre-backed with American-made heat-activated adhesive, while a no-adhesive option is also listed.
