A bucket hat is a type of headwear with a wide, downward-sloping brim and a circular crown. Our hats are made from polyester and is commonly worn for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, or gardening. The bucket hat has become a popular fashion accessory in recent years, and it comes in various colours, patterns, and materials to suit different styles and occasions.

The bucket hat or fishing hat is said to have been introduced around 1900. Originally made from wool felt , these hats were traditionally worn by Irish farmers and fishermen as protection from the rain, because the lanolin from the unwashed (raw) wool made these hats naturally waterproof From the interwar years onwards, these “Irish walking hats” were quickly adopted internationally for country pursuits because, when folded, they could fit inside a coat pocket. If the hat fell in the mud, it could be easily cleaned with a damp sponge, and it could be reshaped using steam from a kettle.^[2] In the 1960s, it was often worn by members of the Mod subculture.

The modern bucket hat is derived from a tropical hat made from olive drab cotton that was issued to the US Army during the Vietnam War. These lightweight hats became popular among civilians for use in sports such as fishing, and as sun protection.

The bucket hat came to prominence during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in November 2022, particularly following the Group B match between the United States and Wales when it emerged that female (though not male) Wales fans and Football Association of Wales staff (including former Wales women’s football captain Laura McAllister) had the items, which had been specially produced by the FAW to celebrate Wales return to the tournament after 64 years, confiscated by FIFA-Qatari officials outside the stadium ahead of the game. Former Wales players Danny Gabbidon and Ashley Williams had also worn “Spirit of 58” bucket hats on television when Wales qualified for the tournament in June 2022
