What does “crown” mean?
The crown is that part of the hat that goes over your head. The crown of a hat is typically creased to a particular shape when it is made. Years ago most hats were delivered to the retailer with an “open” (uncreased) crown, thereby permitting the retail hat salesman the opportunity to shape the hat to his customer’s liking. Over the years, changes in the industry and the demands of production have resulted in today’s practice of creasing hats as part of the production process. Milano Hat Company offers several different crown shapes. The most popular is the “cattleman” crease that most people wear. We offer three different crown heights in our cattleman shape from the tallest, called the “Long Cattleman,” to the mid-sized crown, called “Ridgetop,” to the low-crowned “Cowboy.” Aside from our cattleman shapes we also offer other popular creases.
