Bucket Hats
« on: September 20, 2011, 04:41:00 PM »
I used to always hunt with a camo short brimmed bucket hat but they seem to be out of style now. I am looking to get one in a camo pattern. If any of you guys know where to find them it would be great. Thanks.

There is an online place called e4hats that usually has them in stock. That's where I got mine for 10 bucks.

Grey Wolf Woolens has them and they are a sponsor here.  Also, Day One Camouflage sells them in many camo patterns and fabrics.  Good quality if not a touch pricey.  Worth it IMO.

One of my local swapmeets has a vendor that's got cheap ones. I'm fine with cheap hats, it's not like buying power tools.

Check out this site.  I bought one of these several years ago for less than $20.

Check out the ones in predator camo, they are close to what you are looking for.  They say Boonie hat but the brim is only about 1 5/8" wide.  St. Joe river bows has them.
Good luck,

In my experience the boonie is a little different than the bucket.  I do use both tend to like buckets a little better.  The buckets I use most were made by Day One.

A boonie hat is different from a bucket hat.  Much shorter brim on a bucket.

I like boonie hats....but! The old style bucket had a short brim which I really like, sooooo..... I took a pair of shears and cut the brim on a boonie hat down to where it is now like a bucket hat. Works perfect   :thumbsup: !!!
