Custom Hat Bar & Apparel Press In Louisville & Across Kentucky For Weddings, Parties & Corporate Events
Custom hats, apparel and accessories.
Guests pick a hat, shirt or tote, choose their patches and designs, and our team heat-presses it on the spot. They walk away wearing it, and the hat wall becomes one of the most photographed spots at the party.
What Is The Press Bar?
The Press Bar is a staffed, made-to-order customization station. Each guest chooses a hat, apparel piece or accessory, picks from a menu of patches and designs, and our team heat-presses it while they wait.
Custom patches and designs are made before the event and pressed on-site. For stitched pieces, see our Stitch Bar.
