The bucket hat is a super-functional headgear, which is also fashionable. In its long history, the bucket hat has grown from a functional piece of headwear for outdoor enthusiasts and fishermen to one of the most worn headwear on earth. Over the years, the bucket hat has transformed from a quirky outsider (worn by equally quirky types like Hunter S. Thompson) into a genuine style staple. The bucket hat appeared in the very first rap video ever, and was adopted by hip-hop icons such as Run DMC, The Beastie Boys and, more recently, Earl Sweatshirt. The bucket hat has never really been gone, but is currently undergoing its greatest revival since its heyday in the late 80s. The hat is au courant again and the trend only seems to be getting bigger. No wonder, because the bucket hat is one of the most versatile hats ever devised.
Obey, Huf, and more!
Depending on how you rock it, the bucket hat can communicate anything from casual cool (the casual fishing hat) to lavish luxury (the Gucci version). But whatever the message, a bucket hat is always a statement. Not to mention its functional benefits. The hats have a rounded brim that protects your eyes, ears and neck from the sun. In addition, they are usually made of light, airy fabric, which keeps your head cool in the summer (as opposed to your woolly snapback cap). Nieuwe bucket hats worden lang niet meer altijd van canvas gemaakt, maar ook van moderne materialen als denim, ripstop en windbreaker materiaal. Daarnaast wordt de nieuwe generatie bucket hats voorzien van de meest uiteenlopende prints en patronen. Revert 95 heeft een ruime collectie bucket hats, met bucket hats van merken als Obey, Stussy, Ripndip en Burton.
