Kangol Hats
World Famous Kangol Hats - Some Interesting History...
Jacques Henry Sergene first began creating what is now known
as Kangol hats in England in 1918. He began importing French berets as no one in
England was doing that at the time. By 1930 Jacques company
was pretty big and he decided
to brand his berets as everyone
else was trying to get in on his
act. As the legend goes, he took
the K from either SilK, Knitting or Knitted, the ANG from angora and the OL from
wool to come up with the company name.
There have been many changes to the company over the years regarding
the type of headwear it produced. The
company was innovative, it created
helmets for soldiers during the wars. The
company also became part of Rock 'n
Roll history in the swinging sixties when it secured the sole rights to
make and distribute headgear which featured the image endorsement or name of the
Beatles.
Since about the 2000, the variety of headwear created by this
multi-faceted company has been noticed in the United States by many of the
"cool" people. Missy Elliot, JayZ, Outkast, Ghostface Killah of the Wu
Tang Clan and even the legendary B.B.King have all been rocking while wearing
these fashion statements on their heads.
