Women's Waterproof Bucket Hats
Bucket hats are such lovely hats to wear and we have a selection that are all very different and unique in their own ways.
Brief History
Just to give you a quick historical background to the bucket hat, they were first conceived in the 1900s as a functional hat to protect Irish farmers and fishermen from the rain. This is because the hat has a wide downward slanting brim. Hence it seems wholly appropriate that we at the Rain Hat Collection should seek out the best bucket hats on the market that will keep you dry in the rain.
British Made
All of our bucket hats have been made in the UK by some very talented milliners demonstrating quality craftsmanship. They have added a sense of style and fun, for instance the Megan hat which has a Union Jack design under brim which can be turned up or down depending on the look you want. Or take a look at Stella with its colourful stripy design.
Adjustable Sizing
Most of our bucket hats have adjustable sizing giving you a perfect fit. This is also a great feature should you want to tighten the fit of your hat on a windy day.
Packable
The fact that bucket hats are packable was a huge appeal in the 1900s for the farmers and fishermen and continues to be a benefit today. How convenient is it to have a packable rain hat that you can keep in your bag or pocket. The Felicity, Charlotte and Stella rain hats are fabulous as they turns inside their own lining to form a pouch. This is on par to carrying a lightweight reusable folding shopping bag that most of us carry around with us today. Great to have a foldable rain hat on you for those unexpected downpours.
Waterproof
Of course all of our bucket hats are waterproof. We want to keep you dry as well as looking stylish.
