LaserHyde Leatherette Patches

LaserHyde patches look simple on the surface, but getting them right is mostly about restraint and process. There’s a narrow window between “clean and sharp” and “overcooked,” and most of the work happens before the laser ever fires.

We start with genuine LaserHyde material, not substitutes. It engraves consistently, takes detail well, and holds up to wear, important, because these patches are meant to be used, not just looked at.

Artwork is prepped specifically for engraving. That means simplifying where needed, thickening lines that would disappear, and avoiding fine detail that won’t survive stitching or handling. If a design doesn’t translate well to the material, it gets adjusted. No sense pretending otherwise.

Engraving is done in controlled passes to expose the lighter core cleanly without scorching the surface. We’re aiming for contrast, not depth. Too much power and you lose edge definition. Too little and the design washes out. Dialing that in is most of the job.

Once engraved, patches are cut cleanly and inspected by hand. No fuzzy edges, no half-burned lines, no “eh, it’s probably fine.” If it doesn’t look right, it doesn’t leave the shop.

LaserHyde patches are popular for hats, bags, jackets, and gear because they’re durable and understated. Done right, they age well and don’t scream for attention. That’s the goal.

Like everything else we do, these are made deliberately, one batch at a time, with the assumption that someone actually cares about the end result.
