Kangol: Where Iconic British Style Meets Modern Streetwear

Kangol isn’t just a brand—it’s a cultural phenomenon. Known for blending British heritage with modern streetwear, Kangol has been a global style staple for generations. From WWII utility to hip-hop fashion, Kangol’s journey is one of timeless design and cultural evolution.

The Kangol Story: From Heritage to Icon

Founded in 1938 by Jewish-Polish entrepreneur Jacques Spreiregen, Kangol began by crafting berets for the British Army during World War II. The brand gained fame when Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery wore their designs, solidifying Kangol’s reputation as a symbol of quality and style.

By 1948, Kangol had outfitted the English Olympic team and later transitioned its berets into iconic cap designs that became synonymous with British fashion.

What’s in a Name?

The name “Kangol” reflects the brand’s origins: K for knitting, ang for angora, and ol for wool. This unique combination highlights Kangol’s dedication to premium materials and craftsmanship.

From Runways to Streetwear Royalty

In the 1960s, Kangol partnered with designers like Mary Quant and Pierre Cardin, earning a spot in high fashion. But its U.S. breakthrough came in the 1980s, when the Kangol bucket hat became a hip-hop essential, worn by rap legends who made it a streetwear icon.

The brand’s kangaroo logo was introduced after American customers dubbed their products “kangaroo hats.” Today, the logo is a hallmark of Kangol’s identity.
