At GQ, we think a lot about the big, juicy questions of our time. How should my pants fit? Where are Justin Bieber’s sneakers from? And perhaps most crucially: How can I protect my dome, camouflage a bad hair day, and top off my fits while also telegraphing my elite-level taste?
The answer is so obvious it’s shocking we didn’t think of it sooner: a limited-edition GQ bucket hat, which we’re sending your way, totally gratis, when you subscribe to a year’s worth of our print magazine. (You’ll get access to our full suite of online-only coverage, too.)
We’re not sure what the forecast looks like in your neck of the woods, but around these parts it’s always bucket hat season—and it’s always a good time to reacquaint yourself with GQ’s zeitgeist-shifting style and culture coverage.
Don’t take our word for it. Take it from Donald Glover, who turned a floppy bucket hat and tiny shorts into a ginormous flex; Jeremy Strong, newfound Loro Piana obsessive, longtime bucket hat-wearer par excellence; or Jacob Elordi, who’s wont to pop up in a waxy version of the chapeau while pumping gas in LA. Know what all those fellas share in common, beyond unimpeachable taste in sunny-weather millinery? A splashy GQ cover spread within the last few years—or in Elordi’s case, two of ‘em.
The only caveat: When we say these hats are limited-edition, we mean it. We couldn’t make enough to plug our entire audience (and we had to save a few for ourselves), so subscribe now to secure your own while supply lasts. Oh, and watch this space. At the risk of scooping ourselves, we’re just getting started.
