KANGOL

"KANGOL" is a British hat manufacturer and brand.

In 1918, Jacques Spreiregen opens a hat shop and begins importing Basque berets from France. Later, he started manufacturing and selling berets himself.

In 1938, Spruilgen started the KANGOL brand to differentiate itself from its competitors. The name Kangol is said to come from the letters "K" for knitting, "ANG" for Angora, and "OL" for wool.

Rather than being used as a fashion item, it was delivered as a beret for the British military during World War II. (It is especially famous for being favored by General Montgomery of the British Army.)

After the war, Kangol berets became a popular fashion item, and in the 1960s they collaborated with designers such as Marie Quant and Pierre Cardin, and adorned the heads of the Beatles, Arnold Palmer, and later Princess Diana.

In 1981, a line created by world-famous hat designer Graham Smith was announced. In 1983, the kangaroo logo was adopted.

Kangol was worn by hip-hop stars in the 1980s. They also became popular in the American market, especially for golfing, and were mainly manufactured in England and exported to the United States.
