Bucket Hats: Aussie's Fave Accessory

Custom Bucket Hats Are Always Fashionable

Whether you are a child of the 60s, a child of the 80s, or a child of today you'll recall bucket hats being worn by generational trend-setters. Run-DMC loved their bucket hats, Kangol made them a must-have item in the 90s, and the denim-on-denim wearing fashionistas of the early 2000s couldn't live without them! Part of this owes to the simple, rounded design of the hats.

The brim can be flipped to change things up, or kept down for a conventional look. The design also lends to the use of an extensive range of fabrics, again adding to their fashion status. There's basically a personalised bucket hat that suits everyone and so they remain on tend, which keeps them desirable as a uniform add-on or unique gift.

Bucket Hats Can Be Customised

Promotional bucket hats, unlike say straw hats or beanies, have very large decoration areas available. This makes them extremely appealing to brands because they can add their unique customisation quickly and simply. As a promotional gift company, Cubic Promote is definitely on board with the ease in which bucket hats can be customised.

They slip neatly onto embroidery machines for fast stitching and if we're printing on them, they flatten out easily for a flawless design (which is much harder on stiff hats like caps). So they're a great choice for businesses wanting to promote what they do with head wear, whether they're intended for staff or customers.

Ideal for Australian Weather Conditions

Finally, branded bucket hats are just such a straight-forward choice for the Australian environment. Whether it's summer or winter, you can be sure to face some extreme temperatures and sunny glare Down Under. Bucket hats are a smart headwear choice because they offer better shielding from the sun than caps, while still remaining compact (unlike broad-brimmed headwear). The perfect compromise between functionality and style, if you will! While caps look great their lack of all-round sun protection can mean they're not the ideal choice for every situation, hence why bucket hats tend to fill the gap in popularity.

Promotional Bucket Hats for Any Occasion

Custom bucket hats are versatile, making them ideal for promotional events and creating brand awareness. Here are some of the occasions where promotional bucket hats can make a difference:

• Sporting events: Custom bucket hats are a great way to promote your brand at sporting events. They are practical, stylish and can be customised to feature the team's colours and logo.
