Fantastic hat, great quality embroidery, and, most importantly, perhaps the best customer experience I've ever had.

Giving back

$5 from every hat sold is donated, split equally between the Nolan Wells Memorial GoFundMe and Planned Parenthood.

The Nolan Wells Memorial Fund supports Nolan's family as they grieve and continue seeking answers, transparency, and justice surrounding his disappearance, his death, and all the unanswered questions that remain.

The other half supports Planned Parenthood and its continued work providing sexual and reproductive health care, including care for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

$5 from every sale. Two causes. One very good hat.

This isn't your park department, babe. 🌲

This one started with a phrase from Raffi of Sapphic Citations, and we loved it enough to turn it into a real hat. Now we're officially partnering to bring it to you. Want to see more from the person who started it all? Follow Raffi on Threads.

Designed by Heartland Stitch and inspired by Raffi's original phrase, this embroidered dad hat is a little outdoorsy, a little cheeky, and very much not here to take your nonsense.

Most importantly, every hat sold does some good: $5 from every hat sold goes toward the causes highlighted above, split equally between the Nolan Wells Memorial GoFundMe and Planned Parenthood. Donations are made each Friday.

The original hat we made for Raffi is a one-of-a-kind Comfort Colors piece. This collection version is made on our classic dad hat and features the same design made for everyday wear.

No minimums. Free shipping. Embroidered with care in the Midwest.

Stitched with Care

I started Heartland Stitch as a way to celebrate our roots. For me, that’s the Midwest. I want this shop to be a place where you can honor your own story—whether that's a hometown, a memory, or a milestone. I personally review every custom phrase you submit to ensure the typography and quality meet our 'Heartland Standard' before it's stitched. Let's make something meaningful.
