Often called a fishing or beanie hat, bucket hats are usually made from soft cotton, with a wide brim that slopes down. This hat offers excellent protection from the sun. Plus, it keeps rain water from going down your neck. Many of our bucket hats have metal eyelets on the side to keep you cool on hot, sunny days. Indiana Jones’ dad wore a similar style hat called a British walking hat. These hats usually have a creased crown and are made from tweed.
