What is "bucket hat"

n. A casual hat often worn at the beach, with a wide brim.

A bucket hat (also known as a session hat, fisherman's hat, Reni hat, or Irish country hat ) is a headwear design with a wide and downwards sloping brim. Typically, the hat is made from heavy-duty cotton fabric such as denim or canvas, with two metal eyelets placed on each side of the hat for ventilation.

It was first adopted as a high fashion item in the 1960s, and with subsequent revivals in both street fashion and on the catwalk. It is popular festival gear in the present day, also known as a "session hat" and is favoured by fans of bands such as The Stone Roses and Oasis.
