Trucker hats are soooooooooo 5 minutes ago.

Like you know?

DownSouth		2003-10-24 04:56:38 PM

Totally! Like coffee cups are all the rage now.

Nelno		2003-10-24 05:30:11 PM

Um, from the picture it just looks like a baseball cap to me. What's the difference? Or is the difference only noticeable to those damn metrosexuals?

wldncrzy14		2003-10-24 06:11:56 PM

Ah, metrosexual. The next word for Farkers to drive into the ground.

nakedmolerat		2003-10-24 06:41:24 PM

Damn those things are fugly

aarkwilde		2003-10-24 07:02:30 PM

Metrosexuals are so 2003. It's time to move on.

RagingLeonard		2003-10-24 07:03:05 PM

Kill all poseurs!

leitmotive		2003-10-24 07:15:19 PM

I think it's about time for this to go the way of camo.

andonbray		2003-10-24 08:12:31 PM

I can't wait for the tiara fad to catch on.

whelmed		2003-10-24 08:38:36 PM

Coffee cups are so like 44 minutes ago.

wldncrzy14		2003-10-24 08:38:54 PM

Well, while we're in the process of bringing back stupid fads, I think trucker hats are "Fireman hot".

barneyfifesbullet		2003-10-24 09:45:47 PM

Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, one of the first celebrities to wear Von Dutch gear.

Yeah, that's a sign of coolness. Feh.

If the moment passes when CBs and all-night-diner chic again become declasse, Mr. Sorensen says he has a trailerfull of alternatives, ranging from denim to eyewear to custom motorcycles.

That's what they said over at the Member's Only jacket place, too.

Zeromyhero		2003-10-24 10:06:26 PM

Those aren't trucker hats. Trucker hats have plastic mesh backs, with a nylon front piece with a logo on it. They are also much taller in the front. I will forgive 99% of Farkers for never actually entering a truck stop. ;)

Those are baseball caps.

Jashter		2003-10-24 10:06:34 PM

Trucker hats are flying off the shelves

Baaaaaaaaaahhh! Baaaaaaaaaah!

stupid sheep

Zeromyhero		2003-10-24 10:08:51 PM

I present, a real trucker hat. Note lack of resemblance to the ones in the article pictures.

Hyernel		2003-10-24 10:09:13 PM

Think I'll skip this fad.

Though, to be fair, I skip most of them.

Just naturally cool, I guess!

acronym		2003-10-24 10:09:30 PM

so, um, who got blown to get THIS link posted? hmmmmm?

LudditeAndroid		2003-10-24 10:11:15 PM

Leave it to hollywood morons to pay boutique prices for something they could get at a truck stop 3 for $10.

GoodyearPimp		2003-10-24 10:11:25 PM

"there's a million gaps out there. We're going to keep filling them"

Amen, brother.

exanimate		2003-10-24 10:11:54 PM

Hmmm, my dad has 100's of these things in his attic. Wonder if I could cash in on them. Bah, hell with it, to lazy to climb up in his attic to get them.

JayJayOkocha		2003-10-24 10:14:44 PM

one more reason Thierry Henry should die. now.

DaFuente		2003-10-24 10:16:58 PM

i own a vintage john deere mesh hat that i wear occassionally. it's pretty awesome, but i have had to stop wearing it so as to avoid being confused with some metrosexual (i am allowed to use the word because im an indie rocker in the big apple, so fark off). damn you, metrosexuals.

Zeebo		2003-10-24 10:17:45 PM

Thank you, Ashton Kutcher. Now all those "uber-urban hipsters" who have never actually *seen* a trucker can be just a little bit cooler.

wants Ashton Kutcher to get "Punk'd" upside the head

BetterThanSex		2003-10-24 10:18:11 PM

Trucker hats? If I want to look at a trucker hat all one has to do is turn on TBS. They show Smokey and the Bandit about 2 times a day.

Imma Bar-B-Que yo ass.

DaFuente		2003-10-24 10:18:41 PM

hi, i'm a douche.

Mog		2003-10-24 10:19:25 PM

Dear guys who wear trucker hats turned to the side:

I wish you lived in New York too.

</toothpaste for dinner>

Jashter		2003-10-24 10:20:02 PM

wants Ashton Kutcher to get "Punk'd" upside the head

I couldn't agree more.

The guy is a total douche, and the end of his 15 minutes can't come fast enough.

nylorac		2003-10-24 10:20:39 PM

yeah, well, i'm naked right now.

ishot2pac		2003-10-24 10:22:35 PM

Those are regular baseball hats,the ones with mesh on them are called summer hats.Trucker hi hats have like a big dome,also called farmer hats.Duh.

captain applesauce		2003-10-24 10:23:26 PM

JayJayOkocha

Not like you need a reason.

monty666		2003-10-24 10:25:18 PM

Around here (southern alberta), they were "King Ropes" and "John Deere" hats, back in the day. and your dad and your drunk uncles wore them.

Let's see: Fu Manchus - in, Goatees - in, Bell Bottoms - in, Trucker Hats - in, Skin-tight t-shirts - in, cocaine - in.

According to Stephen Hawking, the universe cannot rewind itself. Maybe he's wrong.

The seventies were a travesty. I guess those do not know history are doomed to repeat it, but why do we have to repeat it with you, idiots?

Mog		2003-10-24 10:26:09 PM

My favorite part was when all these hipsters whined about people "stealing" their clothing (in this case, "trucker hats") and then about 4 months later they start wearing it again, saying its "ironic, which makes it cool."

It's things like hypocritical hipsters (who, contrary to how indie they'd like to act, are as shallow as anyone else) that make me want to cut people.

Yoda-Puppet		2003-10-24 10:27:28 PM

Fad Fad Fad Fad Fad

Swede		2003-10-24 10:27:40 PM

Trucker style is in fashion?

"Look, Cecily, the Sandringham's have sent us a maple pecan log, just like you get at a truck stop. Tre chic!"

optikeye		2003-10-24 10:31:33 PM

This kid finds a trucker hat while walking home from school puts it on and takes a shortcut through the woods where he comes across a man fapping away. "hey kid you want some of this?". "No sir, I'm not a trucker, I just found the hat"

rhiannon		2003-10-24 10:33:57 PM

Call them what you want, wear them with the bill on the back of the head and you're a tard looking minor.

MikeyFrigginK		2003-10-24 10:35:42 PM

DUH. PBR sales have been up 45% in the last six months.

tattered666		2003-10-24 10:37:28 PM

yeah beat up trucker hats and hats with trade company on them is all the rage here in south jersey. i wear a Dryco Paint hat......but thats because my stepdad is a general contract and the guy who owns dryco works for us and gives the hats out for free i have 3 of them. but im a carpenter....does that still make me trendy?

Dr Moron		2003-10-24 10:38:54 PM

I'm still waiting for the .com hats to come back in style

free pets.com hats to the first 100 customers.

rhiannon		2003-10-24 10:39:37 PM

*was going to add "driving a Civic" but think Mike owns one so will not post that*

JesusShovel		2003-10-24 10:44:09 PM

Where are these so-called "hipsters" and where can I go squam on their asses? (excuse the hell-bound rutgers joke)

InternetSecurityGuard		2003-10-24 10:47:44 PM

Trucker hats? Yeah, over there next to the CB radio's.

theurge14		2003-10-24 10:51:19 PM

Meanwhile, real truckers still remain lonely creepy middle aged men who hit on teenage cashiers at 3am and fap in the Carl's Jr. restroom.

That cassette tape copy of "Southern Rock" is still for sale on that swivel display at the checkout counter, next to all the Charlie Daniels and Alabama's Greatest Hits.

Nothing But Net		2003-10-24 10:56:00 PM

Meh.

Trucker hats are flying off all the time (and sometimes with the head still in them) at dive bars all over the South.

Maui Haui		2003-10-24 11:00:04 PM

And fill them and fill them.

dyank69		2003-10-24 11:04:12 PM

I really find the whole fad thing, um, ghey. One of my favorite bumper stickers:

You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same.

</not trendy, does not care>

Mog		2003-10-24 11:08:31 PM

dyank: I find it funny because I see those shirts everywhere. They sell them at, you guessed it, Hot Topic. Looks like you are trendy after all.

Curious		2003-10-24 11:10:03 PM

except for what it would do to the economy both the right and left coasts could fall in the ocean and the world would be a better place.

wait, i'm employed by a company in the fashion business. darn these's a dilemma. or maybe it's ironic. or not.

AlecEmpire		2003-10-24 11:11:15 PM

My mesh trucker cap is ironic and hip.

studkickass		2003-10-24 11:18:44 PM

the trendy take what was once "not cool" or normal and make it "fashionably cool" and run it into the ground until they find something else. It's called "pop" culture. FARK THEM A-HOLES, although it does provide the economy with fuel.
