Custom hat embroidery
in Webster, Texas.

HatDraft is the direct-order channel of Clutch Craft, a contract embroidery shop on the south side of Houston. The contract floor has stitched caps for distributors and brands for years — this site is the new way to order that same work direct, with a single-piece minimum and a same-day reorder button.

The shop runs out of 12440 Highway 3 Bldg B in Webster: Tajima multi-head embroidery, a wall of blanks, in-house digitizing, and leather patch work. The people answering your email are the people running the hoops.

/ 01Story

Why we made
this brand.

The short version, from the production floor.

Embroidery is a commodity — and that's the point.

As a contract shop, most of our caps went to promo distributors who put them in front of brands we never met. That work pays the bills. But the small brands ordering twelve caps for a launch kept hearing "144-piece minimum" from everyone they called.

HatDraft is for those brands. The order flow is the one we'd want ourselves — a clear catalog, real prices, a single-piece minimum, a stitch-accurate proof in 24 hours, and a same-day reorder button once your design is on file. No agency, no middleman, no $50 setup fee for a wordmark we digitize in twenty minutes.

"We didn't reinvent embroidery.
We just cut the middlemen out."

We still run contract work — the thousand-cap orders share the same machines. The website you're on now is direct, and it's the same caps, same thread, same shop.

If your order goes sideways, the person who answers is the person who stitched it. The shop is open by appointment — you can drive over and pick a colorway in person.
