Multi-Patch Trucker Hats: The Next Big Thing in Headwear Fashion

Trucker hats just went viral…again. And scoring big in headwear fashion. But we aren’t talking about your run-of-the-mill trucker hats here. We are talking about a specific customization style on blank trucker hats that’s starting to be seen as a kind of revolution. It’s turning heads across the country.

And they’re calling it Multi-Patch Truckers. 

The global cap market is predicted to hit a colossal $15.7 billion by 2027, and trucker hats are leading the charge in the USA. Here at CapBargain, we've seen blank trucker hat sales skyrocket by 37% in just the last six months.

With these hats being popular enough to be considered a renaissance, the new generation is coming up with creative ways to make them even more appealing. One of those efforts just went viral. And that’s trucker hats with multiple patches on them. 

So, what's the deal with multiple patches, you ask?

Might sound simple because a patched trucker hat isn’t something new. But people are taking it a step further with some creative patches adorning the truckers giving it a sophisticated look like a canvas of contemporary art.  

Because limits just went down a bit on expressing something through hats. A single patch on hats used to be the norm. Multiple patches that collectively express a message or narrate something special didn’t sound cool until someone had it done on a trucker hat and the appeal became evident.

The idea gained traction with decorators seeing an opportunity to craft more impactful messages on caps or casually blend random patches to show support for a cause. Many customers of CapBargain have chosen mostly the OTTO CAP 39-165 trucker hat to jump in on the trend. 

Here's why it's catching on:

• More Impactful Personalization: Mix and match patches to create a truly one-of-a-kind look.
• Story-Telling Power: Each patch can represent a brand’s core values, its interests, taglines or experiences.
• Conversation Starter: These hats are sparking conversations in social media platforms.
• Flexibility: The patches can be added to fit outfits, occasions and even to support causes.
• Merchandising Potential: Multi-patch trucker hats are selling like hotcakes, from what we’ve seen so far.

Here are a few ideas we’ve gathered to inspire you if you want in on this viral trucker hat trend.

Travel: Use patches that represent popular travel destinations with a text that says something travel-related like “Globe Trotter” or “Wanderlust”.

Pop Culture Mashup: Probably the easiest to conceive. We’ve seen caps that mixed patches of old classic bands, TV shows, and movies for a nostalgic appeal.

Sports: We haven’t spotted one yet but we believe we will see more of this soon, where logo patches of multiple teams fill the trucker hat’s front panel.

Supporting Causes: We’ve spotted caps made by an animal rights activist with powerful art patches and statements.

Check out a few fascinating works of some of our customers on our blank hats.
