Hey JRob.

I'd like to thank you for posting your experiences. I've been wearing a 3/4 for about 10 years.

I had always wondered if staggering the back of a full cap might help the material to lay down. I've also pondered the technique for the temple area.

I just ordered a toplace. But, for years I've used another company that uses a "staggering technique" for a tight hairline fit. I buy their stock units. Even though they aren't custom, their design allows the front to lay down perfectly without glue, or tape.

Here's a link to what those units look like. As I say, I've wondered about the back and the temple area benefiting from this technique. You can click on the picture and it will magnify for your viewing pleasure.

By the way, the blending of lace into poly fingers disappears very well on the head.
