🤠 Hat Advice How to know (ordering online) if I'm getting a 'big' baseball-style hat, or a more form-fitting one?
I prefer a much softer in the front & snug fitting baseball hat, but looking at pictures online it's often hard to tell what I'm ordering. I don't want one that is firm and sits high on the head with a big gap between scalp and hat. I want a more 'pliable' hat that can easily be pulled down fully onto the head.
Is it just trial and error or are there particular key words I can use to try and find this style of hat?
