Why They’re Called Trucker Caps

The trucker hat has deep roots in rural life. Back in the 1960s and ‘70s, they were handed out by agricultural supply companies in the United States; a simple, useful freebie for folks working outdoors: truck drivers, farmers, you name it. With a foam front and mesh back, these promotional giveaway hats were lightweight, inexpensive, and, most importantly, practical.

Over the years, they’ve taken on a life of their own, particularly in the early 2000s when celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and musicians began wearing them as part of casual streetwear. Since then, they’ve become both a mainstream fashion statement piece and a dependable work hat; often associated with both rural and urban style aesthetics. 

Trucker Cap vs Baseball Cap

If you’re wondering what makes a trucker hat different from the baseball cap (or snapback cap) you’re used to, it’s all in the details. 

Most noticeably, trucker caps have a mesh back panel, giving them a breathable design perfect for warmer weather. They’re also structured differently, with a high-profile front panel made of foam or stiff fabric, giving the cap its distinctive shape. While trucker caps usually have a curved brim, you’ll also find some modern designs with flat brims for a different look. And, of course, the adjustable straps mean you can count on a good fit every time.

In contrast, baseball caps often have a soft all-around fabric structure and are usually made of cotton or polyester. They can have a lower profile fit and a six-panel design, which gives them a slightly different peak shape and feel. Snapbacks, on the other hand, are more similar to truckers, but don't necessarily have the mesh net. But if you’re after something with a bit more breathability and a rugged edge, the trucker hat is hard to beat.

How to Wear a Trucker Cap

One of the best things about a trucker hat is how versatile it is. You can wear it with the brim facing forward for a classic, shaded look, or turn it around backward for a more relaxed, casual feel.

We've got a variety of designs in our collection, so you can easily find something that matches your style. For example, you can choose something classic and vintage, which often features retro logos, distressed fabrics, embroidery, and bold colour contrasts between the mesh and front panel. 

Alternatively, go for something modern and minimalist with a sleek design. You'll usually find neutral colours, small logos, or even mostly plain caps for that understated look. These are particularly great for wearing as part of your workwear, as they don't clash with other logos or branding.

Are These Caps One Size Fits All?

Trucker hats usually have an adjustable snapback closure, which means that they can accommodate a wide range of head sizes, so one size really does fit most. 

This is perfect when you’re working with your hands and don’t want to fuss with readjusting. It also means you can pick one up for a gift, and not be worried that it won't fit!

How to Clean and Care For Your Trucker Cap

Most caps can handle a bit of sweat and dirt, but when it’s time for a clean, hand-washing is usually the safest way to go. 

Washing machines can be a bit rough on the structured foam fronts and can sometimes warp the shape, especially if they spin at high speeds. A gentle rinse and air-dry routine will help maintain the shape and colour, so it's worth a bit of extra effort.
