Regular 59fiftys seem to give me an extra 5 inches to my forehead. They fit everyone differently though. I personally like the low profiles more, they also come pre curved to a degree.

Whats The Difference Between a 59FIFTY and a 59FIFTY Low Profile?
June 10, 2021 - A regular 59FIFTY fitted also have a flat bill, 180 degrees that sticks out in front. A 59FIFTY Low Profile fitted hat has a structured low crown, which is different from the high crown of a regular 59FIFTY fitted cap.

May 31, 2024Low Profile 59fifty?
Kinda depends on your head shape, in addition to the size. For me, I wear 39thirty L/XL or 59fifty 7 3/4 very comfortably. However, 59fifty low pro is too shallow for me at 3/4 or 7/8. More on reddit.com

November 15, 202459fifty low profile sizing questions
Similar experiences here. Unfortunately, a slight manufacturing variation in the head band sizing can mean much discomfort, especially if the pressure points are on your temples. I always buy one size, sometimes it fits loose (the way I prefer) and some fit tight, the circumference might be within 1/10 of a centimeter of each other, but the on-head difference is more than palpable. There are several commonly used tricks to enlarge a hat, use a hat jack, pulling on your knee cap, stuff a soccer ball in it, etc. Use these methods carefully of course. I do wish New Era makes a combination of 5950 fitted sizes but with elastic head bands similar to their 3930 hats, keeping that fitted look while accommodating for slight head size changes and manufacturing deviations.

May 23, 2025 - This crown shape is perfect if you have a more squared-off head shape or if you love that classic, bold baseball cap style. On the other hand, the Low Profile cap has a shallower, softer, and more contoured crown.

October 21, 2022 - 39THIRTY was one of New Era’s first departures from the styling of the 59FIFTY. 39THIRTY flexfit caps still have structured crowns and a closed back, but with a pre-curved visor and an interior sweat band made of elastic spandex to fit multiple head sizes. We’ve found the New Era 39THIRTY hats to be comparable with Flexfit hats in quality and construction of the elastic band. Durable, these caps retain their elasticity well, feeling snug but not overly tight for the size range. This is also a low profile, low crown hat.

April 1, 2019 - I got my first ever 59Fifty, it’s a low crown Phillies maroon alt cap with the new light-blue batterman on the back. I got it because the swirl P is actually very close to the one I had as a kid, rather than the “perfect” ones that most of the retro caps have.

r/phillies on Reddit: Need a new hat: 59fifty, low profile or 39thirty?
September 21, 2022 -
I'm looking for a new hat. I've been wearing a 9twenty for 4 years now, and I'm trying to change it up.
I have a rather large and bulbous head. My concern is that a straight up 59fifty might be too boxy, making my already large head look even larger. My gf said the 39thirty looked good, but I wasn't digging the elastic band. Also, I'm probably subconciously wanting a genuine hat the guys wear on the field. (Sure, I'm a 30 year old man, but who cares that I want the hat my heroes wear? "I'm wearing the same hat the Phils players wear!" Idgaf if that makes me sound like a child, lol.)
So, is the low profile essentially the 39thirty minus the elastic band? And for style, do you think the low profile will look better on an egghead than the og 59fifty? I wish I could try on a bended and broken in 59fifty, but I don't know anyone who has one. The guy at lids did let me bend one, but it'll take some time to actually get the shape on it.
P.S. Go Phils.

My personal preference is low profile based on curve in the bill. Also, I wear a 7 1/2 and don't like that the 59fifty is so boxy. Gives me Jon Lieber vibes. I will order the occasional 59fifty if its not available in low profile and will wear it around the house for ahwile to try and break it in.
