Tucked into the heart of Western North Carolina, Hendersonville is a town that blends laid-back mountain living with access to some of the most stunning natural escapes in the Southeast. From scenic waterfall hikes to craft breweries and family-friendly downtown strolls, it’s the kind of place where you want to look good and feel comfortable. And nothing ties together your fit quite like a well-made trucker hat.
At Outer Wings, our trucker hats are made for guys who appreciate clean lines, quality materials, and subtle mountain style. Whether you're chasing a waterfall or sipping a local IPA, our handcrafted leather patch hats are up for the adventure.
Why Trucker Hats Are a Go-To in the Blue Ridge
The climate in Hendersonville can swing from sunny and warm to misty and cool in a single afternoon. The best trucker hats for this region need to check a few boxes:
- Breathable mesh back for hot, humid days
- Pre-curved or flat bills for sun protection on the trail
- Structured front panels that hold their shape on hikes and errands
- Quick-drying and moisture-wicking designs for when you’re working up a sweat
Our hats are all of the above—and then some. We stitch every leather patch by hand, using real, veg-tanned leather that develops character with time.

Q&A: Trucker Hats & Outdoor Style
Q: Can I wear these hats year-round in Hendersonville?
A: Yes. Our mesh-back styles work great in the summer, and our rope hats hold up in spring and fall weather.
Q: Are your hats good for hiking and brewery hopping?
A: They’re made for both. We blend functional features like UPF, water resistance, and structure with style that fits in downtown or on the trail.
Q: What’s the difference between trucker and low profile?
A: Trucker hats (like the 112) are mid-profile and more structured. Low profile hats (like the 115) fit closer to the head and are great for smaller sizes or subtle style.

A: Absolutely. Check out our Custom Leather Patch Hats with no minimums required.
