Bring back hat-fit styles that were popular in the mid-90's. I used to be able

to find well fitting hats for guys with narrower heads, that didn't "peak" in the middle, above the front panel. You can't find those hats ANYWHERE these days. The dri-fit hats were/are close, but still not like a good baseball hat from the mid-90s. I would love it if you could bring back that style for some of the options!
