The TRUCKET Story

TRUCKET hat by The Hat Man

THE GAP BETWEEN A TRUCKER AND A BUCKET HAT.

Meet TRUCKET™ by The Hat Man — Australia’s original hybrid sun-protection hat.

SHOP TRUCKETS

A real problem. An Australian idea.

After more than 30 years working outdoors in construction, The Hat Man founder knew the trade-off: traditional trucker caps are familiar and easy to wear, while many traditional sun hats can feel bulky or out of place. He set out to bridge that gap.

TRUCKET began taking shape in winter 2022 and was refined through drawings and prototypes over several years before The Hat Man website launched in 2025. The result is a hybrid design that combines trucker-inspired style with a soft brim intended to add shade around the ears and neck.

Why wear a TRUCKET?

  • Trucker-inspired style — a casual look for everyday wear.
  • Soft brim coverage — added shade around the sides and back compared with a standard trucker cap.
  • Lightweight and breathable design — made with outdoor use in mind.
  • Made for work and play — construction, farming, landscaping, road crews, fishing, boating, camping, golf and weekends outside.

Sun-safety note: a brim can provide shade, but the level of UV protection depends on the hat’s design, fit and coverage. No hat alone provides complete sun protection; use other sun-protection measures as appropriate.
