I agree with Snipe. Flatback front is the way forward (no pun intended). If you're like me and cut the lace close to the hair (so much easier to hide lace then) a flatback front will help with everything. I keep ordering flat back front but it comes to me as forward ventilated. The stok I got once had a flatback front though ant that was excellent. Maybe ask to have flatback front underlined on your order to get the factory to notice.
