Trucker Hat Appraisal

Chrome Hearts Corduroy Trucker Hat

This item is a black corduroy trucker hat, likely a 'Chrome Hearts' brand cap due to the prominent yellow embroidered patch on the front. The patch is rectangular with a bold yellow border and features several stylized symbols and text. At the top of the patch, in a gothic-style font, is 'CHROME HEARTS', flanked by small cross-like asterisk symbols. Below this, large, intricate intertwined letters 'C H' (likely standing for Chrome Hearts) are centered, with a fleur-de-lis or similar ornate cross design on either side. At the bottom of the patch, in a smaller font, is 'HOLLYWOOD, USA'. The embroidery appears well-executed with clean lines, indicating good craftsmanship, though some minor fraying might be present on the edges of the patch itself, which is typical for embroidered items with age. The corduroy material has visible vertical ribs, characteristic of the fabric, which appears to be a medium-wale type. The overall color is a deep, faded black, suggesting some use and possibly sun exposure, leading to a slight patina. No significant damage like rips or tears is immediately visible, but the fabric itself shows some lint or dust accumulation, common for corduroy. The hat's structure appears somewhat relaxed rather than rigid, which could be due to wear or the original design. The bill is curved and made from the same corduroy material directly attached to the crown. The overall condition suggests a pre-owned item that has been worn, but possibly well-cared for given the lack of severe distress.
