Trucker Hats: Find the Fit That Works for You
Not all trucker hats are created equal. If you’ve ever tried on one that just didn’t sit right—or felt too tall, too tight, or too flashy—you’re not alone. Finding the right trucker hat comes down to understanding the different fits, profiles, and features available. That’s where we come in.
At Outer Wings, we offer three of the best trucker cap hats out there: the Richardson 112, 115, and 168. Each one brings something different to the table. Let’s break them down so you can pick the one that fits your head—and your style—the best.
1. Richardson 112 – The All-Around Classic
The Richardson 112 is the gold standard in the baseball hat types world. It’s got structure, durability, and the timeless look that’s made it a favorite for decades.
- Mid-profile, six-panel build
- Adjustable snapback and breathable mesh back
This hat works well for most head shapes and is perfect if you're looking for a structured, everyday fit. We use it for customer favorites like The Passage.

2. Richardson 115 – The Low Profile Favorite
Want something that sits a little closer to the head? The 115 is the move. It has a similar structure to the 112 but with a slightly shallower crown, making it ideal for guys (and gals) who don’t want as much height up top.
- Low profile, six-panel fit
- Comes in M/L and Small sizes
This one’s great for smaller heads or anyone who likes a more tailored, low-key fit. It’s featured in our best-selling Lost Pine Hat.

3. Richardson 168 – The Modern Flat Bill
If you're after something bold and modern, the 168 delivers. This is a structured, high-profile hat with a flat bill that brings a bit more edge. It’s especially popular among younger wearers or anyone leaning into a modern street or outdoorsy vibe.
- Seven-panel build for a unique fit
- Flat bill with structured crown and mesh back
It’s the base for our Mountain East Hat—a top pick for those who like clean lines and a standout patch.
