Visualize Any Material

How would my caps look in another fabric?

Ask the studio to show your cap in cotton, silk, denim, leather, velvet or linen, as images, before you order samples.

On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.

Fabric Simulation for a cap

Fabric simulation shows the same cap in different cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and weight can be compared before swatches are ordered.

Compare a cap in a smooth and a textured material first; the surface changes how the shape reads.

Wool melton drapes the most and lamb nappa leather the least: the two ends of the comparison.

What you get

The same cap rendered in two or more cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and texture can be compared.

Step by step

  1. Start from one settled image of the cap.
  2. Pick cloths of similar weight first, then one contrast.
  3. Compare the drape at the hem and the sheen on the folds.
  4. Order swatches of the two finalists before deciding.

A common mistake

Choosing a cloth from a render alone: it shows the character of a cloth, not how heavy it feels in the hand.

Cloths worth comparing for caps

Medium, matte surface
Polyester twill
Medium, soft sheen
Lightweight denim
Structured, holds its own shape, matte surface
Wool tweed
