Origins of Bucket Hats
The bucket hat appeared in 1900. In the beginning, bucket hats were made with wool felt or tweed cloth that were protective hats for Irish farmers and fishermen when they went out or worked. Because of the folding, easy-care, and easy-clean design, these bucket hats were quickly popular at that time. In the 1960s, the members of the Mod subculture often wore bucket hats which became a stylish trend at that time. Nowadays, these lightweight bucket hats have become popular among most people for use in sports such as fishing, camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
What is a bucket hat?
1. Shape
A bucket hat (including fisherman’s hats, Irish country hats, and session hats) is a hat with a narrow and downward-sloping brim in shapes. Typically, the hat is made from heavy-duty cotton fabric such as denim or canvas, sustainable materials, or heavy wool such as tweed, sometimes with metal/embroidery/plastic eyelets placed on the crown of the hat for better ventilation.
2. Features
In general, bucket hats are foldable and lightweight, and have sun protection in some way. Sometimes, bucket hats are designed with adjustable chin straps to fit in place and adjust according to your head circumference. The classic bucket hat is solid colors or with some patterns on it. The foldable design is convenient to carry in a pocket. The downward-sloping brim can protect you from strong sunlight, winds, and sand.
