Why this cap works as a design reference
A matching monogram shape looks very different in dark tonal embroidery versus brown on cream. The two finished hats also show worn bill edges. They make a strong starting point for deciding what stays constant across colorways.

What to get right on the first sample
- Specify a master logo and confirm how its colors change between versions.
- Write a separate color chart for mesh, bill and front panel.
- Keep the number and location of distressed marks controlled by an approved physical sample.
