Kangol is one of the most famous brands in the field of classic headwear ever established. The brand originally comes from England, where it was founded in 1920, but it really grew in New York. The brand name also has meaning, as KANGOL hides three words: K – Knitting, ANG – Angora (a type of wool), and OL – wool (Wool). They initially started producing berets for golfers, workers, and soldiers. Later, they became interested in other types of headwear and started exploring various kinds of hats and caps.
