A stupid question about EKI hats.

Ok, here's a useless question. I want to buy an EKI hat, but I don't want one if they are the type with the large top. Are the hats the kind with the rounded tops(that would conform to my rounded head) or the ones with a high "forehead" on 'em? Thanks ;)
 
Hi Apht...- I know what you're saying. There are two types, you're looking for the "low crown" type, like the old style baseball caps. Anyway, get one of the hats they call "stonewash", those are the low crown type, I have one and it fit's real nice, snug and low.
I bought one of the other styles not trying it on before I got it and it was real dopey looking (on me anyway:)), the kind similar to the ones you see old men wearing, white foam in the front and sky blue mesh in the back, and the front says "World's greatest Grandpa" and the hats so high that you have to bow your head down when you walk under a bridge.
So to answer your question, yes you can get he low kind, they are the hats on the site called "stonewash".

Thanks nowhere, I had looked at the website and the stonewash did look like a "low crown" as you say. But I couldn't quite tell, I wanted to make sure so I didn't buy a hat I wouldn't wear. I now wear a Glock hat that's low crown, or a Matthews Solo-Cam hat that's also low crown. But the Glock hat is seriously worn out, and the matthews hat is too small for my giant head, and just looks funny. So I thought an Emerson hat would be nice. Anyway, thanks again.
 
I too suffer from "GHS" (Giant Head Syndrome 7 3/8) and only wear low profile ball caps. While I have not picked up an Emerson yet (I blame Derek as he didn't bring any to Blade), I did pick up a smackin' brown, low profile Strider cap. I wear it almost daily, replacing my generic Khaki GAP cap or my Glock one.
 
Anybody know which HK hats are low crown? Got one from my dad, but it is about 3 feet tall.
Thanks,
Reed
