Hot Branding

Branded by Flame. Etched Forever.

A raw flame, a handmade brand + a moment sealed into felt.

Each hot branding mark is a permanent story placed by hand, just for you.

The Tradition Behind the Flame

Hot branding has long been a symbol of ownership, identity + belonging. Traditionally used to mark saddles, cattle, or leather goods, the brand was more than just a logo - it was a sign of legacy. Passed down, burned in, never washed away.

At Sol Spirits, we honour that tradition - but we rewrite it in our own way.

We use flame + metal not to claim, but to connect.

Each brand we place on a hat is a quiet ritual: a moment of fire, intention + story. Whether it's your initials, a talisman or a small symbol that means everything to you - it's there to stay. A permanent part of your journey.

This is slow craftsmanship. This is meaning made visible.

What is Hot Branding?

At Sol Spirits, hot branding is the process of using hand-forged mini metal stamps, heated over an open flame, and pressed into the felt of your hat.

Each brand leaves a subtle, textured burn — marking your hat with something that means something. It could be your initials, a small icon, or one of our signature symbols.

This is an optional add-on that brings permanence, soul, and ritual to your piece.
