bucket hat in Organic Plum Linen
Perfectly, beautifully mod, this bucket hat is made of 100% GOTS certified organically grown cotton-- safe for you, your babe, AND our planet. Our big brim goes all the way around on this perfect beach hat. Like all of our hats, this one is reversible (it's like two hats in one!), machine washable and made to last 'till the next generation. Handmade in USA.
***
Looking for full-circle sun protection? Look NO FURTHER! Our bucket hats feature a big 'ole brim all the way around the hat! This offers your little one sun protection even on the back of the neck, where other hats may not. Perfect for pool and beach play, the Urban Baby Bucket will stay on (just like all of our other hats!) with the adjustable snap-strap. And unlike most bucket hats, ours is reversible! The snap straps pull through the hat so that you can strap it on snugly, while showing either side of the design.
note that like our caps and bonnets, the straps on your bucket hat will be made from one of the two fabrics pictured. if you have a strong preference on which fabric your straps are made from, please let us know.
Like all of our hats, the buckets are made by hand right here in the USA by a talented team of work-at-home women. They are fairly paid for their work, so you can feel good about supporting us with your purchase. No sweatshops here!

Sizing Advice.
Always Measure for the Best Fit.
If you have questions about size, please let us know.
What size should I choose?
Each of our hat styles fit slightly differently, and therefore, they do have slightly different sizing recommendations. See below by hat style, and we've done our best to help you decide what size is correct. In EVERY case, though, the best way to know what size to order is to MEASURE your child's head circumference. We offer age ranges as a rough guideline but head shapes vary and children, even when "big" or "small" for their age can have widely varying head sizes. Age is NOT a reliable predictor.
* Bonnets--
Our modBonnets and ecoBonnets are exactly the same except for the choice of fabrics. Both tend to run LARGE. Except for the XXS which is designed to *actually* fit newborns, if in doubt, size down. Our XL bonnet is HUGE and is ONLY for children whose head circumference is above 21".
Our skiBonnets run small. Sizing up is advisable if your child is at the end of the size range. The fleece tends to be thick and while we prefer a very snug winter hat (no wind!), not everyone does. If you're in doubt, size up.
* Buckets--
These run true to size. If in doubt, size UP.
* Brimless bonnets--
These run true-to-size. If in doubt, size UP.
* Caps--
Our spring/summer caps tend to run true-to-size or a tad large. They are designed to fit all the way down on the head, so the edge of the cap is at about the bottom of the ear lobe. We designed the hats this way so they provide full sun protection for the entire ear.
The caps will appear TOO TALL if you're looking for an above-the-ear fit.
The caps fit best when worn at an angle, with the elasticized back down below the bulb of the head and the brim up just below the hairline.
If in doubt, size UP.
Our skiCaps run SMALL. If your child is towards the end of the size range and you do not want a snug fit (snug fits are great for wind protection), then please size UP.
* Pixies--
Our pixie hats run LARGE. They can be folded back even at the snap point for a smaller and shallower fit. Stay within the size range or if you're in doubt, size DOWN.
* Pilots & Ear Hats--
Pilots and ear hats use the same pattern. They tend to run LARGE. If in doubt, size down.

Care Guide.
Our Beautiful Hats Can Withstand Lots of Abuse!!

Our Guarantee.
Guaranteed for Life.
We never expect that there will be a problem. But we're human and our items are handmade. Every once in a while, a stinker of a snap or an off-kilter seam slips through, even though every single hat is triple checked for quality.
No matter what the problem is, if you're not happy, we're not happy. It's that simple.
And so, our bonnets are totally guaranteed against manufacturing defects, for LIFE. Shrinkage, wash fading, and color-bleeding when exposed to pool chemicals or sunscreens of any type are not considered manufacturer defects.
If you have a problem, email us and we'll work with you to make it right.
Warranty coverage extends even to people you pass the bonnet on to. They're guaranteed, forever. Once we see the defect, we will repair or replace your hat at our discretion.
Of course, we can't really help if your dog chews up your hat or if you accidentally put it in the blender.
Please note that because of variability of washing methods, washing machines, water temperatures, previous chemical exposures (i.e., sunscreen) and detergents, we do not guarantee that your 100% cotton bonnet will not shrink or fade or bleed in the wash.
But if it's something we didn't do quite right, we'll MAKE it right.
We're proud of our products and we stand behind them. 100%.
