I mean, who hasn’t seen *that* Intrecciato leather bucket hat floating around the internet? Seriously, it’s everywhere. Black, blue, yellow… it’s like a primary color explosion, but, you know, *expensive*. Lyst’s all over it, apparently. I saw somewhere that GOAT has ’em too, and I guess that’s good, because, buyer protection and all that jazz. You don’t wanna get stuck with a fake, right? Especially when you’re dropping, like, a mortgage payment on a hat. *cough*.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder what’s the big deal. Is it just the brand name? Is it the woven leather that kinda looks like a basket? Maybe? I dunno. But, listen, I gotta admit, that corduroy baseball cap they got going on? Not gonna lie, it lowkey looks comfy. And sometimes, all you want is comfy, am I right?
And then there’s the bucket hats… for *men*. Okay, Bottega Veneta, I see you expanding your horizons. I guess. I saw a bunch on some site, 800+ stores apparently? That’s… a lot of bucket hats. Someone’s gotta be buying them, I suppose. Maybe they’re hiding from the paparazzi? Or, you know, just having a bad hair day. Who knows?
But here’s the thing, I’m kinda rambling. I mean, we’re talking about *hats* here. Expensive hats, sure, but still… hats. And yet, they somehow become a statement piece. Like, you’re telling the world, “Hey, I’ve got enough money to spend on a hat that probably cost more than your entire outfit.” Or maybe, “I just really, really like woven leather.” *shrugs*
