Pints and Projects: Patch Your Own Hat
Pints and Projects: Patch Your Own Hat
Product Details
Pints & Projects is an open-format craft night where you can bring whatever you are working on and hang out in the taproom with other creatives - or sign up to create a one-of-a-kind trucker hat with Paper Thief.
Grab a drink at Checkerspot Brewing, sit down with real vintage patches, and build a trucker hat that's just yours.
No sewing experience needed. We'll show you exactly how to pin, place, and secure your patch.
What's included:
- One blank trucker hat
- One vintage patch (your pick from the our current selection)
- One drink on us
- All the tools and instruction you need
Want more than one patch? Extra patches are $8 each at the table.
The details:
- Thursday, August 6 from 3pm to 9pm
- Checkerspot Brewing, 1421 Ridgely St, Baltimore
- $45 per ticket
**If you RSVP before July 23, Paper Thief Founder Katie can source a custom patch for you for an additional $10. Just leave a note in the checkout about what kind of patch you're interested in - a name, city, sports team, astrological sign, etc.**
Good to know:
This event is 21+. Tickets are non-refundable within 72 hours of the event, since your hat and patch are set aside for you ahead of time.
Come thirsty & leave with a hat nobody else has!
Care & Maintenance
To care for your hat, spot-clean gently with cool water and a mild soap (avoid soaking the foam front or putting it in the washing machine). Reshape and air-dry. Store it brim-up to help it keep its structure.
If the foam gets dented or bends, a handheld steamer works great to relax it back into shape — just steam lightly and let it cool.
Material & Fit
- Front fabric: 100% polyester foam with lining
- Back fabric: 100% polyester mesh

The Fine Print
Every Paper Thief hat is one of a kind. Patches are sourced from thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, etc. — they come with age, wear, and history. Minor fading, small imperfections, and signs of life are to be expected and are represented in the product photo(s).
