Hatstores are plentiful in NZ. There are 100s of them.
So why bother joining such a crowded market? Why compete with so many other hatstores in NZ instead of just selling something different?
But that’s just it: Bucket Hats NZ offers what’s missing in all the other NZ hatstores right now… variety.
If you’ve been looking for hats in NZ and have been disappointed by your findings, it’s no wonder.
They all sell the same old stuff.
In this article, we’ll explain what sets Bucket Hats NZ apart from every other hatstore in New Zealand, and why it should be your number-one choice when shopping for hats online.

The problem with NZ hatstores
Hatstores in NZ have long suffered the same problem.
They all sell the exact same hats.
Whether it’s a streetwear store selling snapbacks, baseball caps, and maybe even a bucket hat or two, you know exactly what to expect.
Here’s the standard NZ streetwear hat inventory list:
- NFL snapbacks (mostly Yankees hats)
- NBA snapbacks (mostly Chicago Bulls hats)
- Baseballs caps with sports brand logos on them (Nike, Adidas, New Era)
- Kangol bucket hats
- Nike bucket hats
- Sports visor hats
Oh, and let me guess… they’re all about $89.99 + delivery.
This means, even if you save up all your hard-earned money for an awesome hat, you’ll most likely end up with the exact same hat as all your other mates in NZ.
Enter: Bucket Hats NZ.
Bucket Hats NZ: More than just another NZ hatstore
When we started Bucket Hats NZ we weren’t looking for a gap in the market.
We were just looking for somewhere to buy a decent hat that was affordable, original, and not plastered with logos from big American corporations. No such hatstore existed in NZ.
So we made our own.
Bucket Hats NZ seeks out bucket hats, snapbacks, baseball caps, and beanies that aren’t identical to every other hat you see on the streets of Auckland City.
We’ve got hats to protect you from the sun, hats to wear while drinking beer, hats to keep you warm in winter, and, mostly, hats that just look damn good on your gorgeous bloody head.
Don’t believe us?
Check out the list below of the best hats you can only get from one hatstore in NZ – this one.

Funny bucket hats
Another thing missing from nearly all hatstores in NZ: Hats with humour.
New Zealanders take pride in our sense of humour and ability to take the piss out of anything and everything, so why shouldn’t our hats reflect that?
Here are a few of the funny bucket hats that we supply:
And that’s just the start.
Search “funny” in the Bucket Hats NZ search more to find the rest.
Cool bucket hats
Sure, the word “cool” is subjective.
But according to other NZ hatstores, “cool” just means American sports team or enormous global sportswear corporation logo.
We think “cool” is whatever makes you feel cool. So we’ve got a little something for everyone.
If you like to party like it’s the 80s, we’ve some shiny party bucket hats for you, too.

Sun hats that completely protect you from the sun
Dear Redheads, Pale People, and anyone with skin that’s sensitive to sunlight…
We got you.
As an NZ hatstore we consider it our duty to protect our community from Aotearoa’s deadly sun. Bucket hats provide an excellent 360deg protection, but sometimes even that’s not good enough.
If you’re truly worried about getting burnt, check out our wide-brim sun hats that include a reliable neck flap, or our much-loved any-weather sun hat that can be folded protect as much of your face as needs protecting from the sun.
