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.

The world's most beloved and iconic bucket hat brand is returning to Blog Don't Lie for the winter season with clean, fresh pieces. 

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. 

After the countless pieces we've offered you over the years, the time has
come to wear the velvet Kangol.
Amazing.

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.

A staple piece of headwear in any casual collectors, music lovers or retro
enthusiasts wardrobe, the bucket hat really is one of a kind. So whether
you’re starting to get geared up for Glastonbury this summer, packing for
Parklife or lucky enough to have bagged a reunion Oasis ticket, Blog don't Lie
have got you covered in the bucket hat department this festival season.
No bucket hat collection would be complete without the famous Kangol styles as
famously worn by Liam Gallagher and Damon Albarn during the 90s Britpop heydays.
Available in two colourways, the Kangol Lahinch Bucket Hat is the ultimate
piece of Britpop nostalgia.
