This item is based on the trucker caps that were popular in the U.S. in the 1970s, with a slightly shallower crown than those of that time, in pursuit of ease of wearing.
The image is based on the workmen of the time who wore these caps daily as their uniforms, and how they changed as they became dirty and worn out.
The fabric is made of 9oz denim fabric. Its light ounce and moderate thickness makes it breathable and soft in texture.
The lining is made of the same symbiotic material as the outer fabric to give it softness, and the sides of the crown, which are angular at first, are made to fit in with the wearer's head as he or she wears it, giving the cap a tingly, fluffy look.
Caps of this era used chain-stitch sewing machines, and these trucker caps were also sewn with a 70's sewing machine. The back side of the brim and the fusible tape portion of the lining are also sewn with chain stitch.
In addition, most of the top button hardware used on caps made in Japan today has been changed to plastic, but HWDOG uses steel buttons for the top hardware, just as it did in those days.
This item is representative of the brand's first collection, with detailing that goes even into places that cannot be seen.
