Feel Supersonic in The Sunshine With The Liam Gallagher Kangol Bucket Hat
We've got you covered in the headwear department for the coming festival season with the legendary Kangol Bucket Hat as famously worn by Liam Gallagher back in '96.
It's crazy when you think just how influential the bucket hat really has been when it comes to music, clothing and subcultures. When we think of festivals we automatically picture bucket hat nostalgia from the Stone Roses Spike Island concert in 1990 where something like 1 in every 2 people were wearing the famous fisherman style silhouette as the euphoric guitar melody of 'I Wanna Be Adored' echoed through the landmark cooling towers. The subculture connection goes all the way back to the original mods of the 60s, the B-Boys, the casuals of the 80s and of course the whole 90s Britpop scene thanks mainly to Liam Gallagher and Damon Albarn. Oasis fans will of course remember when Liam and Damon played in the Soccer Six charity football match in 1996 with the Liam Gallagher Kangol bucket hat becoming an overnight hit thanks to pictures in the likes of the NME and other national tabloids at the time. Coming off the back of our sell out Umbro Drill Top release earlier in the week, we can now reveal the return of the legendary Kangol Bucket hat as famously worn by Liam Gallagher back in '96.

The headwear style really captured the 90s era; Euro 96 and Gazza’s famous dentist chair celebration, ‘3 Lions On A Shirt’ and of course the ongoing battle of Britpop. The ‘Madchester’ hat was back and everyone went ‘mad for it’. Great for the holiday season for its guaranteed sun protection and also great for the festival season to keep your head dry during them sudden downpours. What was once worn by fishermen and farmers is now a true music icon thanks to bucket hat icons such as Alan Ren, aka Reni from The Stone Roses, The Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Damon Albarn and of course the Supersonic singer, Liam Gallagher.
