H.W. Dog Trucker Cap Denim – Indigo

This item is inspired by the trucker caps that were popular in the US in the 1970s, with a slightly shallower crown than the originals, making it easier to wear.
It is inspired by the image of the way that a workman would wear it daily as a uniform, and how it would change over time with dirt and wear.

The fabric is made of 9oz denim, which is light and just the right thickness, making it breathable and soft to the touch.

The lining is made of the same fabric as the outer fabric, giving it softness, and the sides of the crown, which are initially angular, will become more comfortable on the head as you wear it, and the hat will take on a soft, tasteful look as you wear it.

Caps from this era were sewn with a chain stitch sewing machine, and this trucker cap was also sewn with a 1970s sewing machine. Another distinctive feature is the chain stitch on the underside of the brim and the lining tape.

In addition, while most of the metal fittings on the top buttons of caps made in Japan today have been changed to plastic, HWDOG still uses steel for the metal fittings on the top buttons, just like back then.

This is a representative item from the brand’s first collection, packed with detail even in the invisible parts.

This item is based on the trucker caps that were popular in the US 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.
