Whether you want to print photos or a custom pattern you have designed yourself, our printed Bucket Hat will give great results every time. This classic-style hat is perfect for trend-setting fashionistas, or as an all-weather fisherman's hat for men. Personalise 6 panels of the custom hat, and choose from 2 different brim widths: wide or narrow, for your perfect sun coverage. Hard-wearing and practical, you can just roll up and stow this personalised Bucket Hat and carry it with you wherever you go. Design your own bucket hat online in minutes.
Oil Cloth
Waterproof and sturdy, Oil Cloth is made from 100% Cotton, coated with a PVC surface. Oil Cloth prints in bright, crisp colours and with a subtle surface texture that will craze slightly with use. This hat’s firm, upright structure and stiffer brim make it a great fashion piece to wear on wet, rainy days.

Canvas 300
Our Canvas 300 is a hard-wearing yet comfortable fabric with great print quality: colours are bold and bright with crisp details. Canvas bucket hats are flexible and pliable, and can be easily rolled up and thrown in your bag. It is also slightly breathable, which will keep your head cool on hot summer days.

100% Cotton Denim
Made from 100% natural cotton, this 10 oz Denim has a diagonal, hard wearing drill weave. Denim bucket hats are lightweight and packable. They can be scrunched up and put in a suitcase or a pocket, and when brought out and worn in the sunshine, they look great.

Style it with
Versatile and good for all weathers, this custom Bucket Hat for men or women is a dream. The hard-wearing canvas offers protection from both sun and rain, making this a great year-round accessory. This bold statement hat makes a great contrast with simple outfits: try mixing it up with longline baseball shirts and board shorts for a hip urban look. Or just a simple breton stripe t-shirt layered with our Custom Bomber Jacket. Accessorise your designer bucket hat with big, coloured-lens shades and long, droopy gold chains. And don't forget: your bucket hat is fully reversible, so flip it inside out to suit your outfit, or your mood.

Frequently asked questions:
What designs look best on this hat?
With this product, it is difficult to print very precise patterns like stripes, as these will appear distorted by the curved shapes of the bucket hat. Loud, bold jungle prints, on the other hand, will look great! Go for something bright and energetic or try smooth colour gradients, as these look brilliant too.
Is this hat suitable for kids?
Yes! Children will love this personalised hat. We have an XS size hat which makes a perfect sunhat for children around 5-9. Children will love being able to design their own bright, colourful Bucket Hats. Why not personalise your kid's sunhat with their name, so they never lose it at school again?
Can I add a brand label to my bucket hat?
In order to make this design fully reversible, we had to remove the option to add your own label. However, there are plenty of other ways to promote your brand with this custom hat. Why not print your logo on the front of the hat to make it extra visible or on the inside for something more subtle?
To find your perfect hat size for your custom bucket hat, use a soft tape measure or a piece of string (which can be measured afterwards). Place the measuring tape or string just above your ear, and across your forehead, wrapping round to the back of your head. Don't pull too tightly - leave the tape a little loose. If you find your size in the middle of our sizing brackets, go a size up.

Print Guideline
![DPI-Print Guideline Icon]()
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
![scaling-Print Guideline Icon]()
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
![RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon]()
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
![crocking-Print Guideline Icon]()
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
![organics-Print Guideline Icon]()
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
