The Owner

Chris Howell is a proud native of North Carolina whose life has been shaped by faith, service, and country. He served faithfully in both the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army, where he learned the values of discipline, leadership, commitment, and honor. His years in uniform instilled in him a deep respect for hard work, excellence, and standing behind everything he puts his name on.

Today, Chris serves full-time as a pastor, dedicating his life to shepherding people and sharing the hope of Christ. His calling to ministry reflects his deep love for God and for others — a love that extends beyond the pulpit and into every area of his life.

Hard Corps Hats & Custom Creations is a natural extension of Chris’s heart. It brings together his love for God, his love for people, and his love for country into a business that reflects those core convictions. Built on faith, family values, and the spirit of service, the company represents more than just quality products — it represents a legacy of integrity, purpose, and pride.

Let Us Help You With a Design

One of the hardest parts of ordering custom hats or branded gear isn’t choosing the product — it’s answering the question: What will look best?

You may know you want something sharp, bold, and meaningful… but putting that vision into a logo or clean design can feel overwhelming.

That’s where we come in.

At Hard Corps Hats & Custom Creations, we understand that not everyone is a graphic designer — and you shouldn’t have to be. Some customers come to us with a finished logo ready to go. Others come with just an idea, a mission, or even a simple phrase they want to represent. No matter where you are in the journey, we stand ready to help.

We’ll work with you to:

Refine your logo or concept
Improve clarity and layout
Choose fonts and styles that fit your message
Make sure your design translates well onto hats and other products
Ensure your final product looks sharp, professional, and intentional

Our goal is simple: to help you look your best and say what you want to say — clearly and confidently. Whether you're representing your business, church, team, unit, or personal brand, your design should communicate strength and purpose.

You bring the vision.
We’ll help you bring it to life.

That’s the Hard Corps way.
