Why the Katin Squawk Nails the Trucker Hat Look
A trucker hat's signature is a mesh back paired with a front panel, and the Katin Squawk Trucker Hat is built exactly that way, with a custom Katin embroidered patch anchoring a 5-panel, mid-crown unstructured fit that feels relaxed rather than stiff.
Materials and Build
The Squawk is constructed from 60% recycled nylon with a 40% polyester mesh back. The front panel carries the embroidered Katin logo cleanly, and the mesh back is what actually keeps the hat breathable, letting heat and moisture escape instead of getting trapped against the head.

Who Reaches For This Hat
It suits anyone in and out of the sun all day, morning surf checks, time on the water, or just walking the beach in South Florida heat. The mesh back panel and light nylon front make it a better warm-weather choice than a solid cotton cap that traps heat.
Fit and Care
The snapback closure adjusts across a range of head sizes, so there is no single size to select. Because the front is nylon rather than cotton, it wipes clean of salt and sweat and dries quickly, and the unstructured crown packs flatter in a bag or on a dash than a stiff structured hat would.
The Katin Story
Katin got its start in 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand has stayed rooted in Southern California ever since, known as one of California's first labels to make surf trunks and committed to durable, high-quality goods.
