Is your crew’s headwear stuck in the "Billboard" era?

Lately, we’ve seen a big shift in how local East Texas and Louisiana businesses are branding their gear. The old style of centering a massive logo right in the middle of the hat is making way for something a bit more modern: the "Small & Offset" look.

By using a smaller, cleaner patch and placing it off-center, you create a retail-quality hat that your team will actually want to wear on the weekends, not just on the job site. It turns a piece of workwear into a brand statement that feels high-end and intentional.

At Burl Wood Designs, we use tri-layer laser-engraved acrylic to give these patches a depth and durability that standard embroidery just can't match. Whether you’re a local trade crew in Lufkin or a boutique in Shreveport, we can help you modernize your brand with a look that stands out by being subtle.

Ready to upgrade your crew's look? Feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185 to chat about your next batch of custom hats. Keep Burl Wood Designs in mind for quality you can see and feel.

Beat the fall rush! Get your Labor Day bulk orders in now.

Mid-July is here, and while the East Texas heat is definitely on, the busy fall season is just around the corner. For our local crews in landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, and construction, now is the perfect time to get your gear ready for the upcoming holiday rush.

Our 'Durabull' quality leatherette and acrylic patch hats are built to handle the grit of the job site while keeping your team looking sharp. Whether you're working in Nacogdoches, Lufkin, or over in Shreveport, a professional look goes a long way with your customers. We take pride in every detail, from the precision of the laser engraver on the leatherette to the final press on each hat.

Don't wait until the fall schedule is full! We’re here to help you get ahead of the game and ensure your crew is ready for whatever the season brings.

Feel free to reach out to us at +1 (936) 935-0185 to discuss your bulk order. We'd love to help your business stand out this season.

What color patches are you thinking for your team's next batch of hats?

Is your crew's gear still standing after a brutal East Texas summer?

We all know the heat around here doesn't play fair. Between the humidity and those long days on the job site, those summer hats have likely seen better days. If your team's gear is looking a bit faded or worn out, it might be time for a refresh as we head toward the fall.

Our "Durabull" leatherette patches are built to take a beating and still look sharp. We laser-engrave them right here in the shop to ensure your logo stays clear and professional, no matter how much grit your crew runs into. Whether you're running a landscaping crew in Lufkin or an HVAC team in Nacogdoches, a fresh, branded hat goes a long way in showing folks the quality of your work.

We’re starting to get Labor Day orders ready now to make sure everyone is set for the seasonal transition. If you’re thinking about getting the guys some fresh gear, feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185. We’d be glad to help you get a bulk order started.

Keep Burl Wood Designs in mind for your next set of hats.

It’s Workwear Wednesday, and we’re proud to showcase a recent project for a local HVAC crew. When you’re out in the East Texas heat or servicing units in the Louisiana corridor, your gear needs to work as hard as you do.

We took this "Pro Series" project from a digital mockup to a stencil-optimized tri-layer acrylic patch. These aren't your standard embroidered patches; these are laser-engraved for maximum durability and a clean, professional look that holds up against grease, grime, and the elements.

For service businesses in Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and beyond, a branded hat isn't just apparel: it’s a handshake before you even speak. We focus on the fine details, ensuring every line is crisp and every patch is built to last.

What kind of gear is your crew currently wearing? Huge thanks to the local folks who trust us with their branding. If you’re looking to get your team squared away with some high-quality headwear, feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185. We’d be glad to help you design something that stands out.

There’s something about the depth of a TriLayer acrylic patch that a flat print just can’t touch.

When we run these Red, White, and Blue combos in the shop, the reaction is always the same: people want to reach out and touch them. That 3D dimension doesn’t just look sharp; it feels substantial. It’s a tribute that stands out as much as the pride behind it.

Beyond the look, these are built for the East Texas grind. They won’t fade in the sun or fray on the job site. Whether it’s for a local department, a veteran-owned business, or just showing some pride, these TriLayer patches are the gold standard for durability and style.

We’re proud to build these right here in the corridor for our neighbors in Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and beyond.

If you’re ready to level up your crew’s gear with something that truly pops, feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185.

What’s your favorite way to show some local or national pride on your gear?

05/29/2026

There’s a real difference between a cheap giveaway and gear your guys actually want to wear.

When a crew shows up in matching, high-quality hats, you can see the pride they take in their work. We call it the "Crew Kickoff" batch. By starting with a 2-dozen minimum (24 hats), we can get your whole team outfitted in professional gear like the Richardson 112 or 256.

In our part of East Texas and Louisiana, the heat is no joke. We use Durabull industrial adhesive specifically because it’s passed the "torture test" against the humidity and sun. Those patches aren't going anywhere, no matter how hard the day gets.

Whether you are working out of Lufkin, Nacogdoches, or Shreveport, we offer local delivery to make things easy on you. We’re here to help the local trades look their best.

If you’re thinking about getting the team looking sharp for the next big job, feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185. Keep Burl Wood Designs in mind for your next batch of custom headwear.

How does your team usually gear up for a new season?

05/27/2026

Workwear Wednesday is here, and so is that East Texas humidity.

If you’ve ever left your favorite hat on the dash of your truck in July, you know the drill: patches start curling, and glue starts giving up. We’ve seen it more times than we can count, and it’s a shame when gear doesn’t last the season.

That’s why we use Lonestar Durabull adhesive. It’s a heat-activated industrial bond that actually bites into the fabric. Whether you’re out in the piney woods or working a rig over in Louisiana, these patches aren’t going anywhere. They don’t peel, they don’t budge, and they’re built to outlast the hat itself. It’s just one of those small details that makes a big difference for the folks out there doing the real work.

We take a lot of pride in making gear that stands up to the elements. If your crew needs some new hats that can handle the heat, feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185. We appreciate you keeping Burl Wood Designs in mind.

How is your gear holding up in this heat?

05/22/2026

Tired of patches peeling after a week? We see it often, which is why we do things differently here in Shelbyville.

I just shared a new guide on the blog about choosing the best custom patch hats for your crew. You can check it out here:

For local crews, a hat is part of the uniform. It has to handle East Texas heat and hard work. That's why we use the Richardson 112 for its classic fit and durability.

The secret is our heat-activated adhesive. It ensures your leatherette patches stay put: no peeling, no fraying, and no shortcuts. We take the time to get the pressure and temperature just right so your brand stays sharp from the job site to the weekend.

Whether you want classic buckskin or modern charcoal, we’ve got you covered. Ready to get your crew fitted for the season? Feel free to reach out at +1 (936) 935-0185. We’d be honored to help tell your company’s story.

Which patch color do you think stands out the most on a charcoal hat?

05/20/2026

Weekend Ready means getting the details right before anything gets pressed.

Here’s how our flat bill mockups usually go:
1) Pick a patch style (HVAC / Red River / Latitude 33)
2) Match it up with a hat color (olive, gray, brown, black)
3) Approve the look, then we build the real thing for your crew

I like doing it this way because it saves time, keeps the logo clean, and everybody knows what they’re getting before we run a batch.

Which combo would you wear: olive/black or gray/black?
