The Kangol hat was founded in the 1930s, but skyrocketed to popularity when it was embraced by the hip-hop community in the 1980s. The name Kangol is allegedly derived from what?
Answer The words "Knit," "Angora," and "Wool"
The Kangol was first created by World War I veteran Jacques Spreiregen back in the 1930s. He based the hats on the style of the French beret and wanted to choose a name that separated him from his competition. The first Kangol factory was in Cleator, England. The story of its name has never been confirmed, but this is the most popular theory.
