Byward Outfitters is a Canadian-owned and operated small business that heat-stamps full-grain leather patches onto premium trucker hats and 5-panel hats. They are based in Ottawa, Ontario. They named the company after Ottawa’s ByWard Market because it represents exactly what they’re trying to do: bring genuine craft to something Canadians wear every day.

They make two kinds of hats. The first is their ready-to-ship collection — Canada, Great Outdoors, Canadian Wildlife, National Parks, and their Local Collection featuring Canadian city codes, area codes, and airport codes. The second is custom orders for businesses, events, and weddings, with a 5-hat minimum and a 2–3 week turnaround. Every hat starts with a premium trucker or 5-panel blank, and every leather patch is heat-stamped in Ottawa. You can find their producst online at their website.
