Bucket Hats for Adults & Kids
The bucket hat has come a long way from being something you found in the bottom of the beach bag.
Today you'll find bucket hats in different fits, fabrics, brim widths, colours and styles, making them just as at home at an event, sporting club or workplace as they are at the beach or on the weekend.
House of Uniforms stocks a wide range of bucket hats for adults and children. Most of our adult styles are designed with a unisex fit, but we also have selected women's specific bucket hats and dedicated kids' styles.
Choose from classic cotton and twill bucket hats through to wide brim, reversible, corduroy, terry, washed and lightweight nylon options. Many styles are available plain and can also be professionally customised with your logo or design.
How to Choose the Right Bucket Hat
They might all share the same basic shape, but bucket hats aren't all the same.
Start by considering fit and size. Some bucket hats come in a single size, while others are available across several sizes or include an adjustable fit. Always check the sizing information on the individual product rather than assuming every bucket hat will fit the same way.
Next, think about material and style. Cotton and cotton twill are classic choices, while corduroy, terry, washed fabrics and lightweight nylon create very different looks and feels.
Brim width can also make a big difference. A traditional bucket hat has the familiar shorter downward sloping brim, while wide brim styles provide greater coverage and a different overall look.
And if you're planning to add a logo, consider the available branding area and decoration options. Some bucket hats provide more room for embroidery or printing than others.
Wide Brim Bucket Hats
Prefer a little more coverage? A wide brim bucket hat combines the familiar bucket hat shape with a larger brim.
Wide brim styles can be particularly useful for outdoor activities, work, sporting clubs, schools and events where greater coverage is desirable. Some individual styles also carry specific UPF ratings – check the product specifications if sun protection is an important part of your decision.
Our range includes both cotton and lightweight nylon wide brim options, giving you a choice of materials as well as colours and features.
Reversible Bucket Hats
Can't decide on a colour? A reversible bucket hat gives you two looks in one.
Our reversible styles are designed to be worn either way, making them particularly useful when you want contrasting colours or simply a bit more versatility from the same hat.
The Switch Reversible Bucket Hat, for example, is a unisex cotton twill style available in four adult sizes and a range of two-colour combinations.
Corduroy Bucket Hats
A corduroy bucket hat takes the classic bucket shape and gives it a more textured, casual finish.
Cord bucket hats work particularly well when you're looking for something that feels a little different from a standard cotton twill hat. If you're customising our cord bucket hats, embroidery is the branding option, giving the finished hat a premium stitched look.
Women's, Men's & Unisex Bucket Hats
Most bucket hats don't need to live on one side of the wardrobe.
The majority of our adult bucket hat range is unisex, making it easy to choose one style across a mixed group, team, workplace or event. We also stock selected women's specific styles for those looking for a different fit or shape.
If you're searching for a men's bucket hat or women's bucket hat, we'd recommend choosing based on the actual measurements, fit and style you prefer rather than relying on the label alone.
Kids' Bucket Hats
We also stock bucket hats for kids, including adjustable styles in a range of colours.
Children's bucket hats can be a practical option for schools, early learning centres, sporting clubs, teams and events. As with adult hats, check the individual product for sizing, material, features and any applicable UPF rating.
Our Twill Bucket Hat for Kids, for example, has an adjustable 51–54cm fit and UPF 50+ rating.
Custom Bucket Hats With Your Logo
Want your bucket hats to carry your business, club, school, team or event branding?
Many of our styles can be turned into custom bucket hats with professional embroidery or printing. The best decoration method depends on the hat material, construction and your artwork, so branding options vary between products.
Custom bucket hats are popular for businesses, staff uniforms, sporting clubs, schools, events, merchandise, promotions and community groups.
Don't need a logo? Most of our bucket hats can also be ordered plain, although some brands have specific branding requirements, so check the individual product before ordering.
Embroidered Bucket Hats
Embroidery is a popular choice for custom bucket hats because it creates a durable, professional stitched finish.
It works particularly well for business logos, clubs, schools and team branding, and is available across many of our bucket hat styles. Corduroy bucket hats are also particularly suited to embroidery.
The available embroidery area varies depending on the construction and depth of the hat, so if your logo is particularly large or detailed, choosing a style with a generous branding area can make a big difference.
Printed Bucket Hats
Selected bucket hats can also be printed with your logo or design, making printing another great option for custom headwear.
Printing can work particularly well for artwork with fine details or multiple colours. The available printing methods depend on the fabric and construction of the hat, so check the branding options shown on your chosen product or ask us which method will work best for your design.
