Kangol: The Iconic Headwear Brand That Shaped Hip Hop and Streetwear Culture

Kangol, established in the 1930s by Jazques Spreiregen, has made a significant mark in the world of fashion with its stylish hats. Initially known for supplying berets to British soldiers during WWII, the brand transitioned into a cultural icon by the 1980s and 1990s. This leap was fueled by its strong presence in hip-hop, with artists like LL Cool K proudly sporting the distinctive kangaroo-logo hats. Today, Kangol seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fashion, maintaining its status as a go-to brand for quality headwear.


Rich heritage
Founded in the 1930s, Kangol has a long history of crafting quality headwear, starting with berets for British soldiers in WWII. The name Kangol originates from the first materials used for production, with the K coming from Silk, the ANG from ‘Angora’, and the OL from ‘Wool’. The brand cemented its reputation as a premium headwear manufacturer with the release of the famous “Kangol 504” cap in the 1960s.
