LL Cool J and the bucket hat are pretty much synonymous. The rapper made the hat famous in the mid-'80s to early '90s.

He often donned his infamous bucket hat while blasting into his mic and rocking a clean pair of OG Air Jordan 1's a uniform that is still doing the rounds on Instagram today.

Nothing says festival vibes in the '90s like the bucket hat or even today, for that matter.

The bucket hat was madly accepted by "Britpop" followers in the '90s after the likes of Liam Gallagher gave it its label of the "Madchester hat."

A hat that's structure is built for the British weather. I mean, it's a pretty good way to combat those rainy Manchester days.

But it wasn't just sneakers he popularized in streetwear culture; the bike cap was made famous by the American writer/director too.

As worn by his fictional character "Mars" in the film "She's Gotta Have It," this 90's staple pays homage to an excellent headwear era.

Nothing says the 90's like an airport walkthrough shoot in a pair of Jordan 1's.

Or does it?

The trucker cap is somewhat of a 90's treasure, but it's been around long before that, as early as the 1960's its thought.

We think it will be here for a while, too; 

Current adopters of the trucker hat, such as; Travis Scott, Bieber, Luka Sabbat, and J-Balvin, to name a few, are doing their part to keep the cap on the road.
