Production recommendations
- Exploit the five-panel front: Wide art can cross the center without a seam, but still needs to follow crown curvature.
- Confirm mixed fabric stock: Flexfit notes a fabric-content transition and says mixed stock may ship. Sample if material behavior matters to heat or adhesion.
- Match the curved visor: A flat-bill 6006 mockup is not an accurate substitute for the Permacurv 6506 silhouette.
