When shopping for fitteds or snapbacks, you’ll often hear terms like low crown and high crown. But what do these really mean—and which one is right for you? At Hat Club, we’re here to break it down so you can find the perfect fit and style for your headwear collection.
What is a High Crown Hat?
A high crown hat has a taller front panel, giving it more height and structure. This creates a bold, boxier look that sits higher on your head. Most 59FIFTY fitted hats you’ll find at Hat Club are high crown, making them the go-to choice for collectors and anyone who loves a classic, structured style.
Best for:
-
Traditional fitted hat fans
-
Showing off side patches and embroidery details
-
Collectors who prefer the on-field look players wear
What is a Low Crown Hat?
A low crown hat has a shallower fit with less height in the front panel. It sits closer to the head and follows the natural shape of your head more closely. This makes it a great option if you like a more subtle, snug look.
Best for:
-
Fans who prefer a sleek, low-profile style
-
Everyday casual wear
-
Smaller head sizes or those who find high crowns too tall
Style & Fit: Which Should You Choose?
-
High Crown = Bold, Structured, Collector-Friendly
-
Low Crown = Sleek, Casual, Everyday Wear
Neither is “better” than the other—it all comes down to personal preference. Many Hat Club members mix both into their collections depending on the occasion.
