OTTO CAP 39-165 vs. OTTO CAP 32-467: CapBargain’s Intense Trucker Hat Bout

By: Melody D Posted on: Aug 6, 2024
You might agree if we say trucker hats are timeless. They have been around for a while, staying relevant, and somewhat becoming iconic in American fashion. They are among the most popular hats that small businesses use in their promo campaigns. At CapBargain, the most competitively priced source of headwear from OTTO CAP in the USA, blank trucker hats are solid bestsellers every season. 

The Tale Of Two Kings

Among our large selection of hats, the OTTO CAP 39-165 trucker hat is the one that got legendary status in the past few years. A King among our hats for a couple of good reasons. Because the hat is so in demand and with our unbeatable per-piece wholesale price, the 39-165 just sells faster than we can say “Time To Restock”. 

So we’ve heard our customers asking us to speed up the restock process. In the meantime, most of them seem to think the 39-165 is the best of the bunch. It sure is good, but it does have challengers for its royal “crown” (pun intended!). The OTTO CAP 32-467 is one among them. The 32-467 trucker hat rivals the 39-165 in so many ways, other than style and comfort. 

So what makes the two different? What makes them both great choices for promotions and merchandising?

Let’s dive into the details.

Key Differences & Similarities

A more noticeable difference between the two 5 panel hats is in the crown. The 39-165 is instantly recognizable with its high crown, while the 32-465 comes with a crown not as high as the former. The crown height does affect the overall look. But that’s about it. There are trivial differences like the curvier visor of the 32-467. Both hats come with 6 rows of stitching on the visor, and even more color options than the other. OTTO CAP 39-165 vs 32-467: Both have mesh backs, but 39-165 features a foam front for comfort, while 32-467 offers a classic 5-panel design
Something that both these hats share is the much-lauded foam front panel which adds to the comfort inherent in all hats from OTTO CAP. We felt that the 32-467 has a relatively firmer front panel, making it slightly more embroidery-friendly than the 39-165. 

Both hats are made of 100% polyester, have matching fabric under the visor, and feature mesh back and side panels. The level of breathability is the same. Another similarity is the plastic adjustable snap closure at the back. A good majority of our customers prefer blank 5-panel trucker hats with snap closures. For some of them who would like something that’s out of the ordinary, there is the OTTO CAP 122-945 superior cotton twill low-fitting 6-panel trucker hat with a hook and loop closure.

Customizing The 32-467 & 39-165 Trucker Hats

Both are excellent options for customization, specifically embroidery. These blank trucker hats can be transformed with the right decorations. We have seen the work of decorators who jumped on the “multi-patch trucker hat” bandwagon. And they used both these hats for their projects. Apart from their merchandising potential, custom trucker hats make great promotional items with their superb comfort, functionality, and appeal.

Customize OTTO CAP 32-467 and 39-165 trucker hats with embroidery or printing, perfect for branding with versatile design options

Embroidery is what we recommend the most to personalize these two trucker hats. The results are more polished and refined than you’d expect.

The Verdict

If you prefer a taller, more classic trucker hat look, the 39-165 is a great choice. If you want a moderate-profile trucker, the 32-467 won’t disappoint. If you don’t see the color of 39-165 you wanted in stock, you might as well go for the 32-467 which is more similar to the 39-165 than we give it credit for. 

The OTTO CAP 32-467 mid-profile trucker hat is a solid alternative to our bestselling 39-165 if the latter is out of stock when you need it. 
Apart from the slightly different profile, you'll still get the same quality and comfort.

Ultimately, the best trucker hat for you depends on your personal preference. Both the OTTO CAP 39-165 and the OTTO CAP 32-467 are in stock now and are high-quality options that will look great on anyone.
