Kangol
Jacques Spreiregen, a veteran of the Great War, founded the Kangol hat company in 1920 and opened his first factory in Cumbria, England. Adopted by the pioneers of the Hip Hop community in the 80’s, the Kangol brand still enjoys its reputation for building world-class headwear.
The Kangol name derives from the words knitting (K), angora (ang) and wool (ol). The erets originally worn by british troops in the Second World War slowly morphed into the Kangol 504 caps, a flagship Kangol cap that you can find at Henri Henri, among many others.
