Fragment Design (Hiroshi Fujiwara) x Kangol 504 Collaboration Cap

With a name said to derive from silK/Knit + ANGora + woOL, Kangol headwear has a legendary heritage dating back to 1938 England. Since then, it’s crowned numerous famous heads including the Beatles, Princess Diana, hip hop legends, Madonna, Brad Pitt, & sports greats. Of late, whether it’s the influence from celebrities, the universal style, or simply the kangaroo logo, men, women, the young & the old can’t seem to get enough of Kangol. Ever the innovator, Kangol has been leading the fashion pack back to hat-wearing as an expression of personal style, confidence, & originality.
2008 is Kangol's 70^th year & the iconic 504 (Kangol’s most popular model created circa 1954) received a timely remix from none other than Hiroshi Fujiwara (aka Fragment Design), the revered godfather of Japanese (& international) street-style.
The special 504 features a contrast-colour peak, the logo of both brands, & a tropic yarn knit that permits breathability in warm weather. Fans everywhere have gobbled up pre-sale orders -- don’t miss this tough find!
Sidenote: HF himself has been wearing Kangol for over two decades & is rarely seen without his trademark headgear. The classic ivy cap even became part of the get-up of the collectible vinyl toy (designed & produced by Chinese tastemakers Jukai & adFunture) made in HF's likeness.
