Plus One Bucket Hat, White

Cotton-dominant · wide brim · one size, internal adjuster · machine-wash cold

Round top, sloped brim, shade on your face and the back of your neck. Cotton, so it breathes instead of boiling your head in July. The crown has room for actual hair — not a lot, but enough that you are not wearing a beanie pretending to be a hat. Seven colors because we could not pick one, and we figured you could not either.

What it's like to wear

The fabric is cotton-dominant. It breathes. It doesn't make your head boil in the summer, which is the only test a hat has to pass to stay in our catalog. The brim is wide enough to throw shade on your face and the back of your neck. The crown has room for actual hair — not a lot, but enough that you're not wearing a beanie pretending to be a hat.

What it's like to live with

• Cotton-dominant fabric. Soft, breathable, machine-washable on cold.
• Wide brim, dome crown. Brim shades face and neck. Crown covers head. It's a hat. It covers a head.
• One size with an internal adjuster. Drawstring inside the band. Fits most heads. If your head is outside the 56-60cm range, the Foldaway has an extended fit.
• Packs flat. Rolls up, shoves in a tote, comes out looking like a hat again. We tested this in a suitcase.

The Logistics

It's a cotton hat. It will get wet in heavy rain and take a while to dry. It's a sun hat, not a rain hat. The Foldaway and Flip Side are better choices if you need water resistance.

The seven colors. Same hat, seven colors. We list each color as its own page so the swatch you see is the swatch you receive.

Who it's for. Anyone who wants a hat that doesn't ask for attention and works on the days you didn't bring a hat and now need a hat.
