Why is a Trucker Hat called a Trucker Hat? What does Trucker Hat Mean?
The trucker hat can trace its' origins in part due to being used as a promotional giveaway by companies such as John Deere and others during the 1970s and 1980s. John Deere gave out to rural communities and the hats were a cheap way to get their brand out and promote their products and services. The hats were practical for truck drivers to help with the sun and any perspiration, hence the name "trucker hats" or "trucker caps".
Trucker hats are extremely popular today more than 40-50 years later and in high demand. Trucker hats are sold as accessories by name-brand fashion and clothing companies. The trucker caps are still even used as promotional items for many businesses, companies, and brands.
