Where It Started

Headcase Customs was born out of the shop of Little River Customs. Back in 2016, what started as a side hustle making knives and leather sheaths turned into a full-blown leathercraft business trusted by firefighters across the country.

At LRC, every piece was built tough: custom shields, radio straps, and gear made for first responders who don’t cut corners. That same grit and attention to detail is the foundation for everything we do at Headcase.

Why Headcase Exists

As LRC grew, one thing became clear: the hats deserved their own stage. Firefighters weren’t the only ones asking for them — businesses, crews, and everyday people wanted leather patch hats that actually stood out.

That’s where Headcase Customs comes in. It’s the expansion of LRC’s craftsmanship, built into a brand focused entirely on leather patch hats. Still firefighter-owned, still small-batch, but with a style that fits more than just the firehouse.

What We’re About

We keep it simple:

  • Real Leather – every patch is cut from genuine leather, detailed clean, and made to last.
  • Richardson Hats – trusted fit, everyday durability, and a look that works anywhere.
  • Everyday Wearability – sarcastic, bold, and state designs you’ll actually wear.
  • No Cookie-Cutter Gear – nothing here looks like stock merch.

The Headcase Mindset

Headcase is about repping your identity without overthinking it. From state pride hats to sarcastic everyday designs, these are hats you can live in. It’s the same craftsmanship that made LRC trusted by first responders, now expanded into a lifestyle brand anyone can wear.
