Kangol Baseball Caps

The traditional American baseball cap is a soft cap with a stiff visor, it is typically adjustable at the back thanks to a plastic, velcro or elastic band. They derived the style from earlier brimmed hats popular in the late 19th century, including the famous deerstalker’s cap worn by Sherlock Holmes. 

They made the earliest baseball caps in wool materials and primarily baseball players wore them in the mid too late 19th century. Baseball players were free to wear any type of brimmed hat to keep the sun out of their eyes. Many players wore soft and hard cap styles. Later, in the mid-1940s, the baseball teams provided the players with a baseball cap to wear with the team’s logo.  

Nowadays, the baseball caps are not only worn in the baseball fields. Many wear them as a fashionable statement. Many actors, films, singers and pop culture made the standard baseball cap popular. Today, they wear the baseball cap to show support for a team, as a fashion statement or to get a message across.

Kangol Hats History

 Kangol Hats was founded in 1930s by Jacques Spreireen, his beginning idea was to produce hats for workers, golfers and especially soldiers.  Jacques together with some family members started the Kangol factories in England.  They were the major beret suppliers to the armed forces during World War II and they became one of the most famous headwear companies in England.    

The name Kangol reflects the original production where the K was for knitting, the ANG was for angora, and the OL was for wool.  Although no Kangol hat has ever actually been manufactured in Australia, the Kangaroo logo was adopted by Kangol in 1983 because Americans commonly asked where they could get “the Kangaroo hat”.

Kangol’s iconic bucket hat or bell shape first originated in the 1970’s where it was quickly adopted by the burgeoning hip hop culture of the 1980’s New York.  To this day, the bucket hat still remains fashionable. The bucket hats were made popular by many hip-hop and rappers artists.  They wore the bucket hats in videos, covers, films, interviews, but most importantly they wore the hats everywhere; they made the hat part of their daily wardrobe.  The most popular ones being LL Cool J, Eminem and Run DMC.
