π Too Cool For The Summer
My Parisienne born daughters want me to snap up this vintage βBobβ (AKA Bucket Hat) at the Brocante in town this week.
The bucket hat is having a big fashion comeback this summer. And if you can get your hands on one that is vintage, or even better, features the logo of a well know or hipster brand, well that just makes them that much cooler.
The hat was first crafted at around the turn of the 19th and original was made from wool felt or tweed cloth (today a thick cotton is the norm). And thanks to the lanolin in the raw wool the hats- back in the day - were naturally waterproof, which made them very popular with fishermen.
They first became a fashion accessory in the 1960 and are having a Renaissance right now. I also happen to think they look as good on a woman in her 40s as it does one in her 20s. All you need to really make it work is to pair it with a big smile!
