Unisex Small Trucker Hats That Fit Smaller Men’s and Women’s Heads
Finding a hat that actually fits a smaller head shouldn’t feel like a chore. If standard caps slide down to your ears or look oversized in photos, you’re not alone. Unisex small trucker hats solve that with a lower crown, better proportions, and dialed adjustability for both men and women. This guide covers how to choose between Richardson 112 Small and 115 Small fits, which designs work best, and where to explore more leather patch hats built to last.
Why unisex small trucker hats work
Small-size truckers trim the crown depth and tighten the overall silhouette, which helps the hat sit secure without pinching. The result is a clean look that’s easy to wear all day—on the trail, in town, or traveling.
– More balanced proportions for smaller head sizes
– Adjustable snapback with a tighter range that actually lands in the sweet spot
– Classic trucker structure that keeps its shape without feeling bulky
Choosing your fit: Richardson 112 Small vs. 115 Small
Both are excellent for smaller heads, but they don’t feel identical. Here’s the quick way to decide:
– 112 Small: classic mid-profile trucker look with a touch more front panel height; versatile for everyday wear
– 115 Small: lower profile, shallower crown; great if standard hats always feel tall or slide down
If you’re unsure, start with the 112 Small for its all-around shape. If you know you want the lowest, sleekest fit, go 115 Small. Either way, you’re getting a trucker hat that finally fits right.

– Choose patch designs with balanced proportions; they read cleaner on smaller sizes

Common hat questions
Are unisex small trucker hats really different from youth hats?
Usually, yes. Many brands cut adult “Small” and “Youth” differently. Our focus is adult-ready small truckers with proportions and adjustability that fit smaller men’s and women’s heads without looking juvenile.
How do I choose between Richardson 112 Small and 115 Small?
Go 112 Small if you want a classic mid-profile trucker with a bit more front structure. Choose 115 Small for the lowest, sleekest crown. If hats often slide down or feel tall, start with 115 Small. If you want the most versatile shape, try 112 Small.
Do small trucker hats work with glasses or sunglasses?
Yes. The reduced crown depth helps the frames sit naturally without the hat pushing them down. A light curve to the bill can also reduce glare and improve comfort with eyewear.
Can I get a custom leather patch hat in a small size?
Absolutely. We can help you pick the right blank (112 Small or 115 Small), advise on patch size, and stitch your logo for a clean finish.
