Gorra de Camionero

He does not like wearing trucker hats.


References in News:

"And that lefty noise bucket Rage Against the Machine never really explained how they spent their millions. I'm guessing it's not just on Rogaine and trucker hats."

Nota: The design of a trucker hat is similar to that of a baseball cap, with a slightly curved bill in front, joined triangular sections forming the hat, and a button on top. Instead of being made of cotton fabric like a typical baseball cap, the front section of a trucker hat above the bill is foam, and the rest is plastic mesh for breathability. The foam front of the hat stands up straight and stiff, which makes the trucker hat taller than most baseball caps. There is an adjustable plastic snap closure in the back to ensure that one size fits most.
