Personally I think you look better with a low profile. The high crown makes you look like a train conductor because your profile is thin, but it’s whatever you like. I’ve noticed that the 5950 low crowns are popular among MLB pitchers for whatever reason. Also I noticed that Colin Moran at first base for the Pirates has been sporting one as of late.
Thanks for the great video, dude… Since you asked: I think low profile looks much better on you. It’s unfortunate that the LPs aren’t offered in as many styles as the originals - because I think very few people look good with that big “bucket” towering several inches above their head. The low profile just looks cleaner and more relaxed… but clearly a lot of folks must prefer the “billboard” look.
Tongue in cheek, but the bubble toppers may be the baller’s toupe’ … One gives the illusion of having hair; the other the illusion of having a larger brain?😎 Tru is I need the LP…but betts to keep what you have in the down-lo.
I like black unders only including sweat band, does not look dirty after a while and easy to keep looking fresh. Btw imo the low profile suit you better.
Bro you came in clutch I missed out on a low profile (it sold out) , and thought now I have to buy the flat brim version. 😂I was so pissed I missed out on the low profiles but thanks to you i figured it suits me better to buy the flat brim and then curve it
I agree with many of the comments that the LP looks better on you. The regular crown volume doesn’t scale with the hat size (all the size does is make it tighter in the back), so I feel that the regular is always going to have a bit of that train conductor vibe with the smaller sizes. I’m a 7 1/8th, and while I think the shape of the LP is a bit too rounded, I feel having less excess volume looks better. It also varies a lot, with some LPs being more rounded than others and some regulars being more square than others too.
Thanks I just bought a low profile Mets 59FIFTY because I didn’t see it in the regular and instantly disliked it for all the reasons you stated I goggle the topic to see reviews and came across your video. I agree with your take
One way to avoid super high and boxy crown is to avoid Made in Bangladesh hats. I've had better experience with Chinese and Vietnamese made 5950 especially after shaping them.
*It’s all about the fitment!* The New Era 59FIFTY Standard Full-Crown 👑 Fitted Caps used to have a goofy higher Taller-Crown, it has since been slightly lowered gradually over the years, to what I would consider a proper good fitting 🧢 Mid-Crown 👑. The Low-Profile for me is to snug on top 🔝, and does not let your head breathe especially if you grow your hair out. But I do like and prefer a pre-curved brim.
I hate the stiff crown on regular 59. It looks like I'm wearing a WWE champion belt on my head, especially with the curved brim. Low profile looks so much better on you bro.
I just find out from my little collection of hats something interesting,the MLB hats are taller then NBA and NFL hats,the crown is taller and bigger, so in my head it's looks very bad,I keep them for collection because are some limited editions,but I thinking to buy low profile,now I wear 9forty adjustable...so no more NY Yankees and LA Dodgers for me. Another aspect of 59fifty is the size,for example if is made by wool it fits me good,if the material is polyester or cotton(same size) it's fits me smaller and is killing my head.I stick with 9FORTY and 9FIFTY adjustable. By the way it looks better on you the low profile, the 59fifty it's make your head shape longer,one of my main reason I don't wear them especially MLB hats.
Cheers for the video Personally I think the Low profile looks better on you. As you say down to taste, but the standard 59Fifty makes you look like a bit like you are a young kid wearing your dads cap, seems a bit big, square and baggy on your face shape. Just an opinion and you keep doing you Cheers
The crown of a regular 59fifty tends to decrease when you curve the bill. Then should I assume that every 59fifty regular can turn into a low profile by simply curving the bill??
no, i dont think curving the bill will make it low pro. i think the low pros are stitched different and use way less fabric. the 5950 seems lower when you bend the bill, because you also bend the front and it lays back, its not lower, the angle just changed.
Head shape is important, if you have a small head the regular 59fifty will be too big even if you can get a small size the crown is very high and will not suit a small face. Even the low profile can be problem especially if you have a small diamond shape/oval face.
My “low profile” came in and it looks just like a regular 59fifty, the crown is boxed shaped and also had a flat brim!! 👎🏼 it says low profile inside the guts but I really don’t think it is
I prefer the original 5950 but I curve my brim slightly similar to have a low pro comes, definitely not as curved as yours, and I prefer the black under visor
Personally never had a problem with the black undervisors but the trend is having something different. The 5950 with a curve is definitely a good choice 👌🏽
My head big and face slightly round so anything low ain't gonna work 🤣😭 the high ones add more length and slims my face. So it all depends on how your headshape is I'm just happy I'm able to find caps now back in the day I had no clue.
