History

Founded in 1938 by Jacques Spreiregen in Cumbria, England, Kangol initially produced berets for the British military during World War II. The brand gained significant cultural prominence in the 1980s when its headwear was adopted by influential hip-hop artists. This transition established the company as a fixture in urban fashion history. Its evolution from functional military gear to a symbol of global street style illustrates its enduring impact on contemporary accessory design.
