Caps are not flat goods

A cap front is curved, stiff and stitched bottom-up. The cap preset re-sequences the design, thickens underlay and adjusts pull compensation so letters do not drift toward the seam.

Sizing to the panel

Presets cover standard front panels and side hits, so a design that fits a polo left chest is rebuilt rather than shrunk.
