Show an embroidered logo the way it will actually look: on a baseball cap mockup.
Good pick for streetwear labels, sports teams or anyone putting together a portfolio. Quick tip: caps show logos small and curved; a simplified version of the mark reads much better than the full logo.
Selling merch online without photos of every colour is hard; a good apparel mockup fills that gap until the samples arrive. Add a hoodie or sweatshirt shot next to it and you have a basic collection page.

Main things you can change in Photoshop:

How to use the Realistic Baseball Cap Mockup
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Worth remembering: if the print looks too sharp, a very slight blur (0.3 px) makes it sit into the fabric.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
