The journey of the trucker cap from promotional gift to trendy must-have

Who would have thought that the origin of the trendy fashion accessory of the stars would be so simple and down-to-earth?

In the 70s, employers in the USA gave away practical caps with mesh inserts to farmers, agricultural labourers and truck drivers as a promotional gift. This present was surprisingly well thought out because the cap’s peak protected workers from the warm midday sun, and the remarkable mesh at the back of the head also ensured pleasant ventilation.

So, it’s no wonder that the trucker cap, named after its first wearers, American truck drivers, has found its way into the world of fashion. These days it is both a useful and modern eye-catching accessory that makes a statement.

The airy alternative to the classic baseball cap

Most people have heard of baseball caps before. This is because it is an umbrella term for a variety of different cap models.

Most of these models have different types of peaks and closures at the back. For example, there are fitted caps that do not have a closure and only come in one size, and snapback caps that are adjustable.

Trucker baseball caps are often characterised by this practical, individually adjustable closure, just like snapback caps. The special feature of the mesh cap, however, is the mesh at the back, which makes up almost 2/3 of the cap and clearly differentiates it from other types of caps.

If you are looking for protection from the sun but do not want to compromise on pleasant ventilation at the back of the head, a mesh cap is the perfect choice for you.

Spoilt for choice: Which mesh cap is the right one for you?

Deciding on a trucker cap isn’t always easy because there are so many noteworthy brands and designs. It is helpful to think about what you will be wearing the trucker cap with:

Street style

Mesh caps can be the perfect addition to casual leisure outfits. Simple colours such as grey and black go with everything, while bright colours make an eye-catching statement. Lots of brands such as Stetson, Djinns, Von Dutch, FOX or King Kerosin offer models that no one should be without.

Beach life

When the sun is shining in the summer and it’s time for enjoying the beach and surfing, it’s great to have a comfortable trucker cap. Brands such as Rip Curl or Billabong offer just what you are looking for.

Sports and outdoor adventures

Whether you’re skating, hiking or jogging – trucker mesh caps are the perfect companion. Brands such as BUFF, The North Face and Jack Wolfskin offer particularly sporty models. Colours like natural green or a modern camouflage effect are a great choice.

American sports fans

Anyone who is a fan of American ice hockey, baseball, football or basketball teams will already know of New Era and 47 Brand. Regardless of whether your favourite team wins or loses – with an airy trucker cap you will stay cool, even when things get heated.

The right size to fit every head

Trucker caps usually come in a one-size-fits-all cut, as they can be easily adjusted to suit you using the closure at the back.

For those with a very large head circumference, there are XXL mesh caps. These caps are suitable for people with a head circumference of approx. 60 cm. You can read how to figure out your head size in our size guide.

How to wear trucker hats

Found the perfect trucker cap that will be arriving at your house soon? Then it’s time to consider the next exciting question: How should you wear a trucker cap? One thing is for sure: Wearing the cap sideways has been out of style for a long time. Instead there are these trendy styles:

Peak facing forwards
The peak should be pulled halfway down the forehead so it is comfortable to wear for the perfect basic style. Another option is to wear the trucker hat only lightly placed atop the head, so that the peak rests at the start of the hairline and some hair can pop out underneath and fall onto the forehead.

Peak facing backwards
A more unusual style is to wear the peak facing backwards. Here it is important to have a cap with a peak that slopes downwards. A straight peak would look like an unsuccessful imitation of the retro style.

Should the stickers be left on trucker caps?

This is a question that every cap wearer has to ask themselves. On the one hand, the sticker shows that the cap is genuine and authentic, and this gives it that special something. On the other hand, caps without stickers might look better with certain outfits. So, it really comes down to personal taste and your own preferences.

Tips on looking after a fresh mesh cap

There are various ways to keep a new trucker cap nice and clean. You should ideally use a dirt blocker spray before wearing the cap for the first time to ensure a certain level of protection. If the cap still becomes dirty, a cap cleaning set can be helpful. These products can be found in our cap accessories section.

If you need to get ready quickly and do not have the special cleaning products to hand, the trucker hat can be cleaned using cold water and a mild detergent in just five steps:

Cleaning your trucker cap

Pour cold water into a sink and add a drop of detergent. Dip the cap in the water and swirl it around a bit to get the detergent to lather up.
Leave the cap to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
Take the cap out of the water and rinse it with cold water.
Carefully wring the excess water out of the cap. When doing this, make sure you do not not bend the peak, as this will affect the cap’s shape.
Finally, dab the cap with a dry cloth and hang out to dry on a washing line or reshape the cap and place it on a towel.
