The story · 1986

The story of Headspin Bucket Hat

The Headspin hat had a tiny elastic band inside, so it stayed put during backspins, windmills and the occasional cafeteria dance battle. Wearing it slightly tilted was the only correct way. Kids traded colors after school, and the canary yellow one with a red brim got the most respect at the block party.

Fun fact

Kids tested the hat's grip by spinning on cardboard until they got dizzy enough to sit down.
