Trucker Cap | Vintage Racing

The king of hats, from the king of hatters

Is there any hat in the world that says ‘road trip’ quite like the trucker cap? It doesn’t just look the part either with its curved bill, high crown and breathable mesh back, it’s also a seriously practical bit of headwear, whether you’re on the high road or the hiking trail. And if you’re going to wear an iconic hat, you might as well go for a version from one of the world’s most iconic hatters. Since 1865, Stetson have been so famous for their hats that the brand name has become shorthand for the cowboy hats that made their name and their trucker hats are every bit as handsome as those broader-brimmed originals. No Mustang, camper van or grubby old Landy is complete without one sat on the dash…

• Jacuzzi, Jetski, Hoover, Stetson When a brand name gets to be shorthand for the product itself, you know its achieved icon status. Since John B Stetson began selling his famous Boss of the Plains hat in 1855, everyone whos anyone has topped themselves off with a Stetson.

  Take the famous Ten-Gallon Hat made famous by silver screen star Tom Mix or the Skyline model worn by Kevin Costner in TVs Yellowstone. President Lyndon B Johnsons distinctive Open Road became so entwined with his public persona that its still sometimes called an LBJ, and rumour has it that Colonel Custer rode to his doom at Little Big Horn in a Stetson.

  For 150 years, Stetson hats have been emblems of their era. Post-war ad men cut deals in their Stratoliner fedoras, jazz cats and members of the Rat Pack sported a Whippet trilby tipped back on their head, and pictures of Lee Harvey Oswalds assassination show rangy US Marshals all wearing their Open Roads..

  As hat-wearing tastes have changed, Stetson have moved with the times. Sure, they still do the classic fedoras and cattleman crowns, but their modern range includes everything from trappers and truckers to beanies and ball caps all manufactured in accordance with John B Stetsons motto, none but sterling quality.
