Throwback Toyoda
Trucker Hat
Handcrafted by Battle Born Clothing in Yerington, Nevada — premium Japanese machine embroidery meets the original 1935 Toyoda diamond logo. Built for Toyota enthusiasts, off-road crews, and anyone who reps automotive heritage.
Built For The Enthusiast
Inspired by the original "Toyoda" logo from the brand's earliest days, this hat is a nod to pure automotive history. Whether you're restoring a classic FJ40 Land Cruiser, wrenching on a custom Tacoma rig, or simply repping the world's most indestructible brand on the trail — this is the hat that says you know your heritage.
Nostalgic Design
Features a striking red and white "Toyoda" diamond patch, meticulously embroidered to capture the authentic, retro vibe of the original 1930s branding.
In-House Embroidery
Crafted at our Yerington, Nevada shop using high-quality poly thread and state-of-the-art Japanese industrial embroidery machines for vivid color and precision stitching that won't unravel on the trail.
Classic Trucker Fit
Mid-profile structured crown with a breathable 100% polyester mesh back for superior ventilation during long days in the garage, on the trail, or at King of the Hammers.
Adjustable Comfort
7-position adjustable snapback closure — one size fits all. Whether you're rolling in your Land Cruiser or under the hood of a first-gen 4Runner, this hat stays put.
The Legacy of 'Toyoda'
Why does it say Toyoda and not Toyota? Before the global powerhouse existed, the company was an automatic loom manufacturer founded by Sakichi Toyoda. When his son, Kiichiro, spun off the automotive division in 1933, they used the family name.
This striking red and white diamond logo was the brand's very first automotive emblem, famously gracing the hood of the 1935 Model AA. In 1936, a public contest led to the name change to "Toyota" — chosen because it takes exactly eight brush strokes to write in Katakana, a lucky number symbolizing infinite prosperity in Japanese culture.
By wearing this hat, you aren't just wearing a logo — you're representing the literal genesis of the most dominant off-road and automotive brand in history. Designed and embroidered in-house by Battle Born Clothing in Yerington, Nevada, it's a tribute to legacy that's built to last.

Why In-House Embroidery Beats Print-on-Demand
Most Toyota merch stores use print-on-demand services — your hat is printed by a third party and drop-shipped with zero quality control. At Battle Born, every Toyoda Trucker Hat is embroidered in our own shop on Japanese industrial machines, inspected by hand, and shipped directly to you from Yerington, Nevada.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'Toyoda' logo mean?
Before becoming "Toyota" in 1936, the company was named after its founder, Kiichiro Toyoda. The red and white diamond "Toyoda" logo was the brand's original automotive emblem from 1935, symbolizing their early push into global manufacturing. The name was changed to "Toyota" because it takes eight brush strokes to write in Katakana — a lucky number in Japanese culture.
