Men's hats: Player, fishing hat and wide brim

On the men's hats side, Kangol dominates almost the entire range: Lite Felt Player, faded fisherman's hat, wide-brimmed Swerve Casual, Mowbray in bamboo, Utility Cords Jungle, Maverick, and the summer versions of Monty, Spitfire, Mau, and Hardee. Icecream and Patagonia add a streetwear and outdoor vibe.

The Return of the Hat

Long neglected in favour of the cap, the hat is making a comeback in men's wardrobes. It protects from the sun, adds flair, and stands out in a crowd of caps.

The range includes dress hats, summer hats, and adventure hats.

Kangol, the English brand

Founded in 1938 in the north of England, Kangol is known for its 504 hats and berets. Its hats maintain the same focus on materials, from felt to bamboo.

The Lite Felt Player

Small brim, lightweight felt: the Lite Felt Player pairs well with a wool coat or tweed jacket. It gives a retro touch without the weight of a heavy felt hat.

The Faded Fisherman's Hat

The fisherman's hat, with a drooping brim, protects the face and neck from the sun. Its faded finish gives it a vintage look, perfect with a denim shirt or Hawaiian shirt.

The Wide Brim Swerve

The Swerve Casual features a wide brim that offers better coverage for the face and shoulders in the height of summer. A piece that stands out on the beach as well as at festivals.

Mowbray, Monty and Spitfire

Woven from bamboo fibre, the Mowbray feels cool to the touch. The Tropic Monty and the Tropic Spitfire, made from lightweight fabric, are perfect for hot days, with a more structured shape.

The Adventure Hat

Inspired by explorer hats, the Utility Cords Jungle can be secured with a cord when the wind picks up. The Maverick, sturdier, is ideal for outdoor activities.

Between Beret and Hat

Mau and Hardee take on the beret shape, in a breathable Tropic Ventair for summer.

Choosing Your Hat

Smart outfit: the Lite Felt Player.
Summer and beach: a wide-brim hat or a fisherman's hat.
Hiking and travel: the Utility Cords Jungle.
Mid-season: the Mowbray.

Wearing a Hat Every Day

With a straight coat and a scarf, a felt Player gives an elegant silhouette. With a white t-shirt and linen trousers, a fisherman's hat adds to the holiday vibe. Keep the outfit simple to let the hat stand out.

The Hat in the City

In the city, a short-brimmed hat can be worn with a peacoat, a roll-neck jumper, and leather boots. It creates a smart silhouette, embodying the spirit of English attire. It’s polite to take it off when entering indoors, as is customary.

The Hat on Holiday

On the beach, at the market, or on a terrace, a fisherman's or wide-brim hat offers better protection than a cap. It can be packed in a travel bag without losing its shape and suits all summer outfits, from shorts to linen trousers.

Hat and Face Shape

A wide face suits a medium brim and a slightly tall crown. A narrow face can handle a short brim. A tall man can opt for a wide brim, balancing the silhouette.

The Hat and the Sun

A wide-brim hat provides better sun protection than a cap: it covers the face, ears, and neck. It's a real safeguard against sunburn during summer hikes.

Colours

Beige, khaki, and black match with any wardrobe. A faded or colourful hat goes well with a simple outfit, keeping the overall look balanced.

The Right Size

A measuring tape across the forehead gives your size. A hat that's too tight marks the skin, while a hat that's too loose can fly off. Kangol offers several sizes for most of its models.

Caring for a Hat

Felt can be dusted with a soft brush. Cotton, Tropic, and bamboo can withstand a hand wash in cool water, then dry on a round shape. Placed on its crown, the hat maintains an intact brim.
