Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole head in the frame, hair as you usually wear it, no hat. Even lighting works best.

A trucker hat is a baseball-style cap with a tall front panel, traditionally foam, and mesh back panels that let heat out. It began as a promotional cap that feed and farm-supply companies handed out, which is why the front is built to carry a logo; most close with a plastic snapback.

The tall front is what sets it apart from a baseball cap: it stands higher off the forehead and makes the hat more noticeable. The brim comes flat or curved; curve it if you want the cap to look less like streetwear.

FAQ

What is the difference between a trucker hat and a baseball cap?

A trucker hat has a high foam or structured front and mesh back panels; a baseball cap is fabric all the way round with a lower crown. The trucker hat is cooler in the heat and stands taller.

Do trucker hats fit big heads?

A standard snapback usually fits up to about 7 5/8 (24 inches). The mesh does not stretch, so for a bigger head look for XL trucker hats with a longer strap and a deeper crown.
