A bucket hat is soft all the way round: a deep crown, a short brim that slopes downward and no stiffening to hold either in place. Herofab places the hat on a studio model's head and is briefed to keep the angle of the brim, the depth of the crown and the rows of stitching that give the brim its body.

See that the brim in the image falls at a similar angle on every side, that its concentric rows of topstitching are still present, and that it has not been widened into a flat disc or cut back to a narrow rim. 2. ### Crown depth and eyelets A deep crown sits low on the head; a shallow one perches. Compare the height of the side panel with the hat, then find the eyelets: usually a pair on each side, metal or embroidered. Herofab is briefed to keep them, and their number and position are quick to verify against the product. 3. ### How low the brim sits Worn, the brim shades the brow and can hide the eyes. A buyer wants to see the hat and a face beneath it. Look at where the brim edge crosses the forehead, whether the eyes remain visible, and how much of each ear the brim leaves uncovered. ## Photographing a bucket hat so it holds its shape. - Fill the crown with tissue or a small towel until the top is level and the brim hangs at its own angle, then set the hat on a plain surface. - Hold the phone a little above brim height with the front of the hat towards it, so the crown wall and the full circle of the brim are both in the picture. - For a reversible hat, turn out the side that should be seen as the outside, and press away the fold line that packing leaves across the brim. ## Virtual try-on for bucket hats, answered. **Can both sides of a reversible bucket hat be shown?** Each side is a different outside, so treat each as its own image. Turn the hat to the side that should face out, photograph it and order the try-on; then reverse it and repeat. A pattern that appears in no photo cannot be reproduced faithfully, and the image is briefed to keep the side the photo shows. **Does a patterned or terry bucket hat keep its surface?** Herofab is briefed to keep the fabric and the print as photographed. Where a print can be matched it is carried over from the photo; where it cannot, it is redrawn. On a hat the pattern bends round the crown and down the brim, so compare the scale of the motif, and the pile of terry or corduroy, at full size. **Will the brim cover the model's eyes?** The hat is placed as it would be worn, and a downward brim sits close to the brow. If the delivered image hides more of the face than the listing should, a looking-away or three-quarter pose shows the profile of the brim instead, and the close-up pose brings the hat nearer.
