Despite the big dad hat energy — or possibly because of it — the dorky white bucket hat is having a major fashion moment.
Post Oscar win, 58-year-old Pitt is letting loose in his career and life. Bullet Train is not a particularly good movie, but Pitt is having so much fun that you enjoy watching it regardless. His long locks are putting in work tucked under a stylish, clean-cut bucket hat he’s been wearing on and off the screen. He has no reason to hide his hair, but he knows he doesn’t need to try very hard anymore, and we’re happy for him. Embrace your impending retirement Brad; you’ve certainly earned it.
We’re into his look, so we decided to scour the internet and find the exact one. Not surprisingly, it’s sold out. But there are many worthwhile alternatives you can pick up if you want to make a late-summer statement.
Brad Pitt’s Bucket Hat From ‘Bullet Train’
Pitt’s love of bucket hats originated on the set of Bullet Train with the white Textured Organic Cotton Silk-Blend Bucket Hat from Italian luxury basics brand SSAM.

SOLD OUT
After wrapping filming on Bullet Train, Pitt wore this now-famous bucket hat to the 2021 U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium and has been rocking one on and off ever since. The exact one from SSAM is sold out, but others closely mimic its basic frame, heavy stitching and stiff yet flexible rim. If cool-rich-guy-who’s-also-approachable is what you’re going for, pick up one of the following chapeaux to rock this late summer and early fall.
Lululemon Both Ways Reversible Bucket Hat
This reversible bucket hat comes in a white/ cheetah camo print that’s perfect for mimicking Pitt’s look. His doesn’t have the Lululemon emblem on the side, but we think it’s still pretty cool. The fabric is sweat-wicking and lightweight, just like everything else Lululemon makes, and it can be flipped inside out for two distinct looks.
