Hey all,
Im a pretty thin guy, and I guess my head is too, cause most hats just dont seem to fit me! Lets just stay all the hats I try on from local stores make my neck look really long and It just looks really awkward, unlike my friends who can all pull it off. Im looking for something I could pull off, that fits. Any suggestions?

I was at Target yesterday and saw a different type of cap... kinda like military issue caps except they had a bunch with logos and patterns - maybe that would be a better fit?

it was this style:

i think its mostly about finding the right one for your head shape. getting a "fitted" hat, that actually comes in sizes is a good start. other than that, lenght and shape of the peak can really effect the look aswell. just try some different ones.

A hat with a relatively shorter bill would compliment your build. Some military caps in the style that BrettChaotix posted (knit or canvas) have shorter bills as do paperboy hats and fedoras. Conversely, stay away from Ed Hardy caps.

If you must have a baseball cap, New Era has a wide variety of fitted caps in various sizes. I can't even find the style I bought the other week anywhere on the internet. (If anyone has spotted a New Era Tokidoki Samurai smaller than size 7 5/8, please let me know lol.)
