Paper Planes Bucket Hats
A bucket has no structure at all. No stiff front panel, no closure, no posture, it takes the shape of whatever head is under it, and the brim runs the whole way round and angles down rather than out.
That makes it the softest thing in the line and the least like everything else. A snapback announces itself. A bucket does not.
It also packs. You can fold one into a bag and it recovers, which no structured cap will do.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants the mark without the flat-brim posture, and anyone buying for sun rather than for silhouette, the all-round brim covers what a peaked cap does not.
Fit
Buckets are generally sized S/M and L/XL rather than measured in eighths like a fitted. Sizing is more forgiving because nothing is structured.
Materials
Cotton and cotton blends, with the plane usually embroidered on the front panel or the side of the crown depending on the release.
