Title: Bucket Hats
Post by: GrnMtnTradNut 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.

Scent Blocker use to make a great leafy Boonie that is great.  I have 3 of them that I rotate through every week of the season.

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.

This is TG not GQ, we are always going to be out of style with the masses.I like a good worn out boonie cover myself.

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,
Ben

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: !!!
