Bucket Rain Hats

Bucket hats are often seen worn by celebrities as a fashion accessory. But did you know that it's original purpose was to protect the wearer from the rain? The Bucket hat originated in the early 1900's as simply a functional item of clothing worn by Irish farmers and fishermen to protect them from the rain, as the hat has a wide downward-slanting brim. So look good and know that you will be kept dry in the next downpour.
