I digitised this bull head kinda with western and ranch-style gear in mind, the guys who want something with real weight to it on a trucker hat or a work shirt. The face is front-on and the horns sweep out wide, and at 6 colours and a density of 114 it has enough depth to look three-dimensional without being gonna-fall-apart complicated. Nine sizes from 3.5 to a 7.5 jumbo, stitch count 1,031 at the smallest up to 41,486 at the largest. And it sits in a tight square footprint so it hoops easily on structured hat panels.
Digitised in digitising tools with directional satin on the face for the fur texture effect. The darker brown shadow tones are digitised as a separate underlay pass on the jaw and brow areas so the dimension doesnt collapse when youre pressing. I get messages from folks doing western-themed custom work, hats, ranch jackets, work wear, and this one comes up alot as a go-to. Use cutaway on caps and hats, tearaway on denim and canvas shirts. Run the density test first on a scrap cap panel because at 114 density youre putting real thread down and the cap backing needs to be firm.
One customer last week told me hed digitised something similar himself a year ago and this one was better sequenced, specifically he said the horn gradient looked cleaner than he expected at the smaller sizes. I was gonna say thats mostly down to the grey tones being separate colour stops rather than blended in, which lets you substitute your own horn colour without resequencing the whole file. Drop me a chat if you want to swap out the colour palette for something custom and Ill walk you through which stops to change. Send me a chat if the file misbehaves and Ill rework the punch.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
