Trucker mesh hats, often known simply as "trucker hats," They are characterized by several distinctive features:
Front Panel: The front of the hat typically consists of a stiff front panel, which is higher and more prominent than on a standard baseball cap. This panel often displays logos, designs, or prints.
Mesh Back: The back part of the hat is made from plastic mesh. This mesh construction makes the hat more breathable, which is particularly useful in hot weather or during physical activity.
Snapback Closure: Most trucker hats have a snapback closure, a series of plastic snaps that can be adjusted to fit different head sizes.
Flat or Curved Brim: Like baseball caps, the brim of a trucker hat can be either flat or slightly curved.
Blank Trucker hats gained popularity in the 2000s as a fashion item, but they originated as promotional giveaways from farming supply companies to rural workers in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s.
Their practical design and the free nature of their distribution contributed to their widespread use among truckers, farmers, and other outdoor workers, hence the name "trucker hat."
