I am an average-sized guy with an average-sized head, and I have found it impossible to find a truly low-profile unstructured baseball cap (dad cap). If anything, my head may be large for my size. I have tried expensive brands and cheap brands, and none of them fit correctly. I've even tried women's caps. Still too big.

Years ago, I bought a cap, and it's the only one that fits correctly. But the company changed the style, so new versions no longer fit properly.

Someone recommended the brand '47 for a good low-profile cap. Their "clean up" style is the shallowest crown they make. It's supposed to fit like this. Instead, it sits behind my ears, over my eyebrows, and still has room left between my head and the top of the cap.

I measured the cap that fits properly. When I measure it straight down from the center of the crown to where the measuring tape aligns with the bottom of the sides, it's slightly over 3" (i.e. the vertical height of the hat). If I measure from the center of the crown keeping the measuring tape pressed against the fabric to the bottom of the side, it's just over 5".

I measured the new "low-profile" cap, that is much too large. Straight down from the center of the crown is over 5" and when pressed against the fabric, it's almost 7".

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you found a solution? Does anyone know of a cap with a crown that only has a vertical height of just over 3"?

Thanks
