MAIN MAG ON BOARD SPRING 21

BUCKET LIST
The bucket hat was first conceived in the
early 1900s as a purely functional item worn
by farmers and fishermen as protection from
the rain, the fact that it can be folded to
fit inside a pocket was also a major appeal.
A few decades later, a standard-issue style
made from olive drab cotton fabric was used
to protect the necks of troops in the 1940s
and during the Vietnam War. But it was at the
height of the mod movement in the ‘60s that
the bucket hat transitioned from a functional
piece to a fashionable one. Fast-forward to the
‘80s and the hip-hop community such as Run
DMC, & LL Cool J joined in. A decade or two
later, Rihanna’s BFF, Melissa Forde launched
M$ X WT, a line dedicated to bucket hats and
the story goes on. A far cry from the humble
farmer starting this fashion icon.
