BUCKET HAT

The bucket hat is a fabric hat with a flat crown and straight brim. Typical features of the bucket hat are the two eyelets on both sides of the crown, providing ventilation. The bucket hat originated in Ireland, where it was worn by fishermen and farmers as protection from the rain. The English upper class later adapted it for their country outings. Today, the bucket hat is one of the most popular hat styles, especially among young people.
