Kangol fabrics explained
- Furgora: Kangol's soft, fuzzy blend. Warm, textured and the most recognizable Kangol look. Best for fall and winter.
- Wool: smooth and structured. Dresses up easily with a coat or sweater, and works three seasons a year.
- Tropic: a lightweight, breathable knit for warm weather. Ventair versions add small ventilation holes for extra airflow.
Bucket hat vs. flat cap
A bucket hat (the "Casual" and "Bin" styles) has a rounded crown and a downturned brim all the way around. It's relaxed and looks great with streetwear, track suits and casual weekend fits. A flat cap (like the 504 shape) is a shallow cap with a short front brim. It's sharper and pairs with sweaters, blazers and walking suits.
Sizing
Kangol hats come in sizes S, M, L and XL, depending on the style. Measure around your head just above the ears. Kangol hats are meant to fit snugly; if you are between sizes, choose the larger one. You're welcome to try them on at our Baltimore store.
