Trucker Caps

Trucker caps are the OGs of the cap game – and for good reason. At CapUniverse you'll find trucker caps from Von Dutch, New Era, Djinns, Capslab and '47 Brand for women and men. The telltale sign is clear: the mesh panel at the back, the structured foam front and the adjustable snapback closure. This vibe has been fresh since the 70s – and shows no sign of disappearing.

What makes a trucker cap

You can spot a trucker cap by three features: the tall foam panel at the front, the open mesh insert on the back panels and the snapback closure. The foam panel gives the cap its upright shape. The mesh provides ventilation – ideal for warm days and also a great choice if you wear it all year round. The snapback closure makes size charts unnecessary: infinitely adjustable, one size, fits head circumferences of approx. 55–60 cm.

Unlike the baseball cap, the trucker cap has this characteristic mesh back – airier, taller, more prominent in look. While snapback caps also come with a fully closed fabric back, the trucker cap is defined by this contrast: firm foam front, open mesh back. Available with both a flat brim and a pre-curved brim – which one you wear is purely down to taste.

Trucker cap = mesh cap – one style, two names

You see the term "mesh cap" and wonder if it's the same thing? Yes, essentially. Mesh cap is the generic term for any cap with a mesh insert – the trucker cap is its most well-known form. In everyday use, both terms are used as synonyms. At CapUniverse you'll find the whole range: the classic trucker silhouette with a foam front, as well as slimmer mesh variants without a structured panel.

Trucker caps for men and women

The range at CapUniverse covers all the styles that matter in the street game: Classic Trucker with a flat brim, a plain foam front and a minimal logo – the original look from the 70s, timeless and straight. Von Dutch Trucker with the iconic Flying Eyeball patch – Y2K back in the game, stronger than ever. Vintage and distressed with a used wash and retro finish for an authentic streetwear fit. Colourwise the range goes from black, white, beige and khaki to navy and light blue, through to pink and limited prints. Prices start at €19.95, with premium models up to €55. Most models are unisex.
