Yeah, that seems about right!
The Sniper

The Bloke's Bucket Hat is a headwear item for the Sniper and was chosen by Valve to be released with the second wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It appears as a fisherman's hat, with several lures hanging on the band around the hat and pinned to its brim.
