Bucket Hats Vs Boonie Hats

Boonie Hats vs. Bucket Hats: What’s the Difference?

• The bucket hat owes its name to its simple, cylindrical crown, and to its short, descending brim, which give it the passing semblance of a bucket and lid. Akin to the famous cloche hat, the bucket hat shares its soft, comfortable body, although it generally presents a flat-topped crown, and a brim that is generally wider and folds at a more pronounced angle. It gained a lot of popularity towards the late 1960’s as women’s fashion underwent a phase of liberation. Hairstyles started getting more and more voluminous, and the bucket hat allowed for endless creativity in patterns, dimensions, and customization.
   

• The Boonie hat is very similar to the bucket hat, but is geared towards maximum utility and convenience. They will usually feature reinforced seams, high-tech or rugged textiles, a ventilation system, and chin straps. First making their entry into the theater of Cold War jungle warfare, the boonie hat is often associated with soldiers and punishing weather conditions. Nowadays, people of all walks of life choose the boonie hat as their headwear of choice for the great outdoors.
