KANGOL
Kangol was founded by Jaques Spreiregen in a remote corner of Northwest England Cumbria, England in 1938. Kangol was born. Founder Jaques Spreiregen created the name by combining the K from knitting, the ANG from angora, and the OL from wool as we specialised in knitted hats made from those yarns. Kangol was born in England but raised on the streets of New York in the 80's. Kangol truly embraces their history by continuing to produce a portion of their hats in Britain. Their UK Collection hats and caps are designed with an eye towards tradition and superior quality. This high-end headwear is built for those who appreciate the painstaking hat-making techniques that go back several generations. And these classic treasures aren't just reproductions that are meant for show, they're functional pieces that measure up to the same standard that Kangol set back in 1938. The style numbers represent the year each shape was invented: The Spitfire 1938; The 504 Cap 1954;
