Kangol
Kangol, founded in the 1920s by World War I veteran Jacques Spreiregen. Kangol (the K from knitting, the ANG from angora, and the OL from wool) produced hats for workers, golfers, and especially soldiers. Kangol berets entered a new phase of fashion history in the 80s with their adoption by members of the hip-hop community, such as Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Kangol Kid of UTFO, and The Notorious B.I.G.
