NEW 2016 James Perse Trucker Hats .  James Perse is a luxury casual brand based in Los Angeles, California.  They are known for their high quality construction and minimalist design.  We've featured James Perse menswear in the past, but this time we're highlighting one of their accessories from the Fall 2015 collection.  Available in double face knit, corduroy, and cotton flannel, the James Perse trucker hats are true to the Southern California lifestyle.  Done in James Perse style, these trucker hats are constructed with top notch fabrics imported from Italy.  Don't let the early 2000's trend of pop sensations wearing trucker hats keep you away from these comfortable, low maintenance, and stylish baseball caps.
