I have bought a couple of boonie hats that are Dorfman-Pacific and decided to check out the bucket. The bucket has a shorter bill, which I like. The color selection was really good insuring that I'll be back to get at least a couple more. The quality seems fine to me. I noticed that several people had problems with this hat (snap falling off, etc.) but I look at it as normal wear and tear. I expect a cloth hat to show some wear from the washing machine, continuously being in the sun and being wadded up in my pocket. Like others, I'd like to wear it out myself, but it's going to happen sooner or later. I paid $50 for a white bucket hat from a different merchant and I can't see that the quality is any better. If you like the pictures of this hat and the colors it comes in, get it. I really like the yellow one I have and will most likely buy orange and putty/navy. The price didn't change my lifestyle, but wearing it does seem to lighten my mood. Money well spent.
