The bucket is back
If you’ve been to a music festival lately, you’ll notice that the ‘90s are back with a vengeance. Must-have accessories include the bum-bag, the 35mm disposable camera, and last but most definitely not least, the bucket hat. This one from Seattle-based KAVU is a cut above the rest, with a generous brim to keep the sun off your ears and neck. Constructed in sturdy organic cotton canvas, it features a hatband in the same trademark patterned tubular webbing that you’ll find on KAVU’s famous strapcaps, along with a chin strap to make sure it doesn’t finish up somewhere in the mud when things start to get lively. Flip it over and inside you’ll find a Coolmax sweatband that’ll keep the trickle out of your eyes on scorching days. So what are you waiting for? Grab one and get those festival tickets booked…

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
