How would I texture something like this?

Hey!
I have seen this black-ish shadow effect on textures in a lot of games, as you can see on the image below, the vest has this “black shadow effect” on it, including on all the details.

Makes it look really neat, haven’t found a way to replicate this tho.
Seen it in multiple games on specifically tactical gear, like vests and helmets.
Anyone have a clue on how I’d proceed with doing the same effect?

I’m not really sure what you’re exactly referring to here? Can you specifically highlight the area?

I can’t really see any shadows or anything. Can you elaborate on the exact position?

These for example, they have this black “outline”, it makes them stand out more which looks great.

Here’s the texture id for one of the vests that use the exact same outline shadowing: Images/Gray (13) - Roblox

I’m not too sure how to texture myself, but maybe looking at this could give you some pointers.
