what is a bucket hat?
Line drawing of a bucket-shaped hat showing ventilation eyelets. A bucket hat (also known as a session hat, fisherman's hat or Irish country hat ) is a headwear design with a wide and downwards sloping brim. Typically, the hat is made from heavy-duty cotton fabric such as denim or canvas, with two metal eyelets placed on each side of the hat for ventilation. It was first adopted as a high fashion item in the 1960s, and with subsequent revivals in both street fashion and on the catwalk.
