The extended single crochet stitch is slightly taller than the single crochet, yet still nice and solid to make cozy winter items. I love the texture that you get when working in rows, but it also looks very nice when worked in the round.

The Extended Single Crochet worked in rows.

Although a nice texture, it is still simple enough to use when crocheting for men and boys, anyone else who likes the simple things in life.
