Trucker hats — five-panel crown, mesh back, snapback closure — are the cheapest way into most of these brands, which is why the list spans a 1947 pinstriping name and a Paris runway house. Start by deciding whether you want the Y2K look or the contemporary streetwear one.
The Y2K end
Von Dutch is the origin point: mesh-back trucker hats, flying-eyeball graphics and gothic logo type, priced low-to-mid. Ownership moved from France's Groupe Royer to New Jersey firm WSG Brands in June 2024, which is rebuilding US distribution, so availability is better than it was — and Gen Z nostalgia keeps resale demand strong for the early caps. Pleasures, independent in Los Angeles since 2015, works the same price bracket with punk, grunge and 1990s music references, licensed band imagery and provocative slogans across its headwear.
Mid-priced graphic caps
MARKET — founded in 2016 by Mike Cherman as Chinatown Market and renamed in 2021 — builds everything around a distorted smiley face, tie-dye and Canal Street bootleg-style pop-culture graphics. Awake NY actually started with hats before it became a full range, and its caps carry the arched Awake wordmark; both sit in the medium tier. Deus Ex Machina is the moto-and-surf option, with graphic headwear sold through its Temple stores in Sydney, Bali, Los Angeles, Milan and Japan (the business was acquired by Korea's The Nature Holdings in June 2024). Bape's headwear runs 1ST CAMO, ABC camo and Ape Head logos at med-high prices.
Luxury-priced headwear
AMIRI, Rhude, Fear of God, Mastermind, We11done and Louis Vuitton are where caps become a luxury accessory. Rhude leans motorsport graphics and bandana prints; AMIRI is rock-and-roll with bandana motifs; Fear of God keeps to muted neutrals and heavy Italian-milled fabric; Mastermind stamps its skull-and-crossbones on all-black, Japan-made pieces. Kapital and (DI)VISION are the craft picks — Kapital for indigo, boro patchwork, bandana and Smiley motifs from Okayama, (DI)VISION for caps cut from deadstock and salvaged garments in Copenhagen.
Fit is mostly a non-issue: trucker crowns are structured and one-size with a snapback or adjustable strap. The variables are crown height and brand-level pricing, which here runs from Von Dutch's low-mid tags to Louis Vuitton and Marni at very high.
Common questions
Which brands here are actually known for trucker hats?
Von Dutch is the defining one — its Y2K empire was built on mesh-back trucker hats with flying-eyeball and gothic-logo graphics. Awake NY launched with hats before expanding into apparel, and MARKET (formerly Chinatown Market), Pleasures, Bape and Deus Ex Machina all carry headwear as a core accessory category.
What happened to Chinatown Market?
It now trades as MARKET (Market Studios). The Los Angeles label was founded in 2016 by Mike Cherman as Chinatown Market and renamed in 2021 after criticism that the original name appropriated the neighbourhood's heritage. The smiley-face, tie-dye and bootleg-graphic output is unchanged.
Which are the cheapest options?
Von Dutch and Pleasures both sit in the low-to-mid tier. MARKET, Awake NY and Deus Ex Machina are medium. AMIRI, Rhude, Fear of God, Kapital, Mastermind and We11done are high, and Louis Vuitton, Marni and R13 are very high.
Is Von Dutch still in business?
Yes. Ownership transferred from France's Groupe Royer and Royer Brands International to New Jersey brand-management firm WSG Brands in June 2024, led by CEO Jack Cheika and COO Marc Benitez. WSG is rebuilding US distribution and licensing the name into new categories, including a Von Dutch food-and-beverage venture announced in 2025.
Where can I buy these?
disco is a directory, not a shop — we don't sell hats. Buy direct from each brand's own site and stores: AMIRI has a Rodeo Drive flagship, Bape runs BAPE STORE locations across Asia, Europe and North America, (DI)VISION has a Pilestræde store in Copenhagen, and Deus Ex Machina sells through its Temples in Sydney, Bali, Los Angeles, Milan and Japan. Multi-brand stockists named in our data include SSENSE (Awake NY, (DI)VISION, R13), Dover Street Market (Awake NY), HBX and Feature (Pleasures), and Net-a-Porter and Nordstrom (R13). Early Von Dutch caps mostly circulate on resale.
