Both are good, but fitted hats are hard to collect. You may have to try 10 of the same size on before you get the correct one, because they’re hand stitched and they will all fit differently, even though they’re the supposed “same size”. The fitted hats do have a timeless look, but then again so do the snapbacks. They have a nostalgic appeal, and a lot of the rap and rock artists made them famous in the late 80s and early 90’s. They have more street flavor, and they’re much easier to collect. Fitted MLB hats are more popular in the US. Overseas, not as much. Both styles are good, and I have both, but I think I prefer 9Fifty because they’re a little cooler In hot weather. I can adjust with hair style changes and cuts if need be, and when I order online, I automatically know it will fit. It’s literally 90% the same hat as the 59Fifty, with only the back being the difference. Thickness, material, logo thread counts are all the same. More on reddit.com

As much as their quality has decreased in the last decade, I'm very excited to have New Era back in the NHL hat game. Hopefully we get some low profile 59Fifty and 39Thirty NHL releases in the next few months. More on reddit.com

Not to hijack but found this to help as well. Also there’s a 19twenty that’s fitted or adjustable that’s unstructured and usually wool, close to an Ebbetts Field hat. https://www.billioncreation.com/new-era-hat-styles-the-ultimate-new-era-style-guide/ More on reddit.com
