For my tastes, the taper on a crown doesn't bother me. Because I don't like the stove pipe straight look.
A 4 1/2 inch crown height is perfect for me.
But several hats of mine have almost zero headroom in the rear. Steaming in a "bubble" helps, but sometimes not enough.

thanks, guys. yeah now that I've bought a handful of hats, I'm seeing the subtle or not so subtle differences. I mean brim size, flat vs. snap, etc. are pretty straight forward. But I'm starting to see the taper or the squareness more in the crown, besides just the height. I guess I need more experience with understanding which creases work better with certain crown sizes/shapes, and not trying to force certain looks where they won't accommodate my head shape. Also, I guess not having any hair doesn't help either as the sizing fits right up against the skin vs. hair that would have a little more give. Wondering if maybe going up a size and using foam in the sweatband could compensate a little bit?
