Philosophy
This object was refined over seven months and seven prototypes, undergoing real world wear testing across running, training and daily life. Each revision focused on balancing aesthetics, comfort and performance without allowing any one element to compromise the others.
The objective was to create an interpretation of the trucker silhouette informed by the material language of premium performance outerwear and luxury accessories. A hat engineered to move seamlessly through every part of daily life maintaining performance, comfort and visual integrity in equal measure.
Material Specifications
Front Panel + Brim
Mesh Back RPET Dintex Softshell with C0 DWR (REPREVE® recycled fiber)
A laminated technical softshell typically reserved for premium performance outerwear.
Face: REPREVE® recycled polyester (RPET). Made from post consumer recycled plastic bottles
Membrane: Dintex waterproof-breathable laminate provides wind resistance, structure, and moisture protection
Finish: C0 DWR (fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent) eco-conscious water-shedding surface treatment
Backing: Performance mesh interior for airflow + comfort
The result is a structured, matte, weather resistant exterior engineered to resist sweat saturation, staining, discolouration, and sun fading. The surface naturally repels lint and pet hair, maintains its shape over time, and can be hand washed without compromising the integrity of the material or shape.
Rear Panels
Stretch Nylon Mesh
Unlike standard rigid trucker mesh, this is a high recovery stretch nylon mesh selected for:
- Increased comfort, softer hand feel
- Better fit across head shapes
- Improved airflow
- Shape retention
The stretch allows the hat to contour slightly without losing structure.
Interior Headband
Quick-Dry Performance Sweatband
Constructed from a moisture wicking technical fabric commonly used in premium athletic headwear.
- Rapid moisture absorption
- Fast evaporation
- Reduced salt staining
- All-day comfort in heat or activity
Designed to perform under running, training and extended wear conditions.
Accent Detail
Italian Lambskin leather
- Full-grain Italian lambskin
- Soft, durable, and flexible
- Embossed Metallic Silver KOZ/ imprint
Adds a luxury contrast to the technical body fabric.
Packaging
Each hat arrives with the signature KOZ/ keepsake box, match set & keychain.
