Custom Trucker Hats

Branching out from the popularity of the baseball hat, the trucker hat was created.

The trucker hat has the classic baseball hat design, but with plastic mesh throughout the back for breathability along with a curved bill.

Originally popular amongst rural workers and farmers, the hat went on to become popular with truck drivers and hunters due to the breathable mesh back and the bill to block the sun.

In the early 2000’s, the trucker hat emerged on the mainstream scene. Celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlake starting wearing them, giving them accelerated popularity.

Judah Friedlander, or better known as Frank on 30 Rock, wore the trucker hat during almost every single episode with funny or sarcastic phrases. He has continued to wear them for decades, during his live performances, and at most public events.

Trucker hats have also been called the “gimme cap” due to them being given out for free at a lot of popular events.

The front panel on trucker hats is almost always foam, giving the appearance of a particularly tall hat since it stands up straight.

Many of these hats became popular with humorous quotes or images on the front and could start to be found at most stores for teenagers along with gas stations.

Although the trucker hat isn’t as popular as it once was, there is still a loyal following that will support these hats for years to come.
