Bucket Hats: 
From Utility to 
Iconic Style
Bucket hats, originally designed for functionality, have 
become a versatile fashion staple across generations. 
First worn by Irish farmers and fishermen in the early 
1900s, these hats were valued for their wide, downward-
sloping brim that provided excellent protection from the 
rain. Over the years, they transitioned from a utilitarian 
accessory to a cultural icon embraced by various 
subcultures — from hip-hop to high fashion.
In today’s world, bucket hats are synonymous with 
casual cool. Whether you're shielding yourself from the 
sun, making a bold fashion statement, or adding a retro 
vibe to your outfit, the bucket hat remains a go-to 
accessory for all ages and seasons.

N 
HISTORY AND 
ETVhOLeUT IEONvolution of the 
Bucket Hat
The journey of the bucket hat spans more than a century. After its humble 
beginnings in Ireland, it was adopted by military forces during World War II 
and the Vietnam War, where its packability and sun protection were 
appreciated by soldiers.
In the 1960s and 70s, bucket hats gained 
popularity in pop culture, seen on celebrities and 
in television shows. The 1980s and 90s marked 
their surge in the hip-hop scene, with artists like 
LL Cool J and Run-DMC turning them into symbols 
of urban fashion. Since then, they’ve been 
reinvented by luxury brands and mainstream 
retailers alike.
