Kangol Headwear

Kangol is an iconic British heritage brand founded in the 1920s by Jacques Spreiregen. Originally gaining fame for providing berets to the British army during World War II, the brand became a global fashion powerhouse in the 1980s when it was adopted by the burgeoning hip-hop community. The famous kangaroo logo, which was introduced in 1983 to help customers identify the brand, has since become a symbol of street style and classic luxury.

While the brand originated in England, production has expanded globally to meet demand, with manufacturing occurring in various countries including China and Italy. Notably, Kangol maintains a 'Made in the USA' collection for specific heritage styles. The brand's ownership has transitioned over the decades to large global naming and licensing groups, ensuring its presence remains steady in both streetwear and high-fashion markets.
