I personally prefer the snug fit of the Low-Profile hats, I hate that empty space on my forehead. New Era does have issues with their sizing, I'm going back and forth between two sizes.

I jus got me a steamer for my hats, I've always shyed away from the 59fifty hats since they are so blocky now a days. I think I will jus have to get use to the steamer I got cuse I don't wanna burn my hat lol. How long do you think you usually need to leave it on the crowns to get it to wear the buckram is soft enough to form? Seems I have to get it pretty close to the steamer, you think it's easier trying to do one side at a time or both at same time?
@dreinthe616 3 күн бұрын
It doesn't take much time if you hold it close to the steam source, probably less than 10 seconds to soften... and I'd recommend doing both at same time if you can hold it comfortably that way. Btw, I do have a couple of other videos showing this technique, you can find them on my channel page either on the videos tab or in the tutorials playlist, thanks.

Man I love the low profile hats. Wish they did a lot more of custom designs in low profile. But I agree there has been some inconsistencies with them, sometimes they are perfect, sometimes they are too low and rounded, and I’ve even had a few that were almost too tall more like a mid profile

Honestly I can't understand why they don't just make every hat available as a 39thirty or at least a 9forty... I'm in Australia and we get a really strange selection here - but I bought a bunch of 59fifties when they were on clearance before they were going to go back to the USA (dunno why Lids ever thought MLB caps would sell here)... but Lids stores actually don't stock 39thirties at all, like literally, 0. Online has a few but only City Connect hats... And this isn't just an Aussie thing... New Era doesn't make a lot of their hats as a 39thirty... but it's such a perfect shape.

@@dreinthe616 Hi Doug - I've been slowly putting together what each hat is... and I was under the impression that a 39thirty and a 9forty were identical except that the 39thirty is stretch fitted and 9forty is adjustable (either snapback or velcro). Have I got this right? And is the 9twenty also like those, but with buckle adjustment and often cotton rather than polyester... or is that one a different shape?
@dreinthe616 12 күн бұрын
@daysandwords Yes, I think you’ve gotten just about everything, except the big difference with the 9twenty - it’s an unstructured cap, so there’s no buckram in the front two panels. Definitely a classic dad cap - most similar to the ‘47 Brand clean up.

Yes I’ve noticed this big time on the low profile hats… I mainly buy low profile exclusively just because it looks way better with my head shape than the standard ones. And man are they bad nowadays. They just hug your head to the point it looks downright silly. Maybe 1 out of every 4 actually look acceptable now. It’s a shame because they had them perfect before and now it’s a crap shoot on whether it’ll look right or not.

I think it could be the inconsistency of New Era in general. I have four of the low profile 59fifty caps, and they all fit and look different. My most recent one, which was a mesh-back Nationals cap I purchased in 2022, is by far the tightest and has the lowest profile, so there may be something to it.

I actually really prefer the new low profile hats. Most of the regular crowns don't look good on my small head and often times feel as thought I'm wearing a top hat. The low profiles are the only ones I buy and that actually fit me appropriately.

I like the low pros, too. Many of the standard 59Fiftys look too big on my head. If the newer low profile is similar to the 39Thirty, I would be pleased. The shape of the 39Thirty is my favorite, but even the largest size is too small for my head.

Watch Doug’s other videos on shrinking the buckram on caps. The plastic inserts with steam are the best and that’s my go-to way to get my hats the way I like. I used to purchase low crown caps going all the way back to the 90’s but because of the profile issues that Doug spoke of I have had to stop. Now I get my 5950’s how I want them with a more rounded edge and not that bill board look.

I'm curious to see if the reshaped Low Profile eats into the sales of the 39Thirty. I'm a fan of the 39Thirty's shape and construction, but I'm not a fan of it having a stretchy headband. The new LP 59Fifty for me is the perfect combination of shape and comfort.

I can relate to that - sometimes I think those stretchy back panels and sweatband actually detract from the comfort, and they make it a little harder to put on/take off.

I have a bunch of hats like this and most of them are from the Laos factory. They have a real problem with too much volume in the crown and the bulging front panels. I have one from Laos, a custom Padres, with a "fielding Friar" side patch, that makes your Omaha Storm Chasers hat look like a low profile 59fifty. It's a really cool hat that I simply cannot wear.

Hey man, hope you’re doing well ✌🏼I’d like to know which steaming process would you recommend to curve corduroy hats, it seems like the fabric shrinks a little in some stitching points on the top of the visor, so I thought if it would be better to steam the bottom only and don’t touch the top of the visor
@dreinthe616 13 күн бұрын
Well the main benefit of steam is that the moisture/heat combo relaxes the fabric, so theoretically it should be easier to stretch without any visible defects. But corduroy seems a little more dense, so you could try bottom only - the point of heating it is just to make the visor more compliant to curve without creating a lot of small cracks and fatigue. Thanks!
