Custom 7 panel hats: development decisions
This family is defined by its flat-brim development direction; snap closures may also be available on other cap families.
Seven-piece crown map
Number the seven crown pieces in a drawing: one lower-front insert, two upper-front pieces, two side pieces and two rear pieces. Keep the brim outside that count. Confirm the six upper pieces meet at the crown rather than substituting the existing five-panel pattern.
Lower-front insert and logo margins
Set the insert height, upper seam and front support together. Mark the intended crown profile in a side view and define the logo area inside the insert boundaries. The proposed insert has no vertical seam through that front graphic area.
Fabric and full colorway references
Identify woven fabric, insert, brim, underbrim, snap and thread colors separately. Review the cloth and joined crown before accepting the decorated sample; the actual composition, weight, panel dimensions and seam construction remain project decisions.
Crown joins and snap adjustment
Check the insert corners and upper join, then review the top, rear opening and snap attachment. Retain a numbered panel drawing, fit setting and artwork revision with the approved sample so a later change cannot silently turn seven pieces into a different shell.
Make the approval specific.
Review the front after decoration, the edge of the visor and the snap attachment. Compare the complete side silhouette to the reference before approving.
Use the checklist to identify the topics you want to discuss. Include the design name and reference version when requesting changes. A selected point becomes part of your enquiry; it does not approve a specification.
