Independent Hat Built To Grind Span Unstructured Snapback (Black)

Independent Hat Built To Grind Span Unstructured Snapback (Black) keeps it stripped down and straight to the point—blacked-out base with that bold Built To Grind embroidery hitting front and center. The orange Independent crossbar-style logo stretches across the crown with white “BUILT TO” above and “GRIND” below, stitched clean and raised just enough to stand out without getting flashy. It’s one of those graphics that doesn’t need explaining—if you know trucks, you know.

The build is a mid-profile unstructured 5-panel, so it sits relaxed right out the gate—no stiff crown, no break-in period needed. The twill cotton body keeps it durable, while the flat bill holds its shape. Inside you’ve got custom interior taping, a sweatband label, and a mesh stay to keep structure where it counts. Around back, the snapback closure with a loop label lets you dial in the fit quick.

Independent Trucks has been holding it down since ‘78—built under NHS and known for making some of the most trusted trucks in skateboarding. That “Built To Grind” stamp isn’t marketing—it’s what the brand’s been about since day one.

This one fits anywhere without trying—early push through Monrovia streets, quick stop by the Claremont shop, or posted up after a session in South Pasadena. Clean, durable, and rooted in actual skateboarding.
