Kangol Has Moved Production to the United States

Iconic headwear band, Kangol, is now making hats in the United States.

Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign in which the company teamed up with actor, and known Kangol enthusiast, Samuel L. Jackson, Kangol’s parent company, Bollman Hat Co., was able to raise $100,000 to transport the specialized knitting machines required to make the brand’s throwback-style caps to their Adamstown, PA factory.

Bollman, which is America’s oldest still-operational hat maker, also received over $160,000 in state grants and tax credits to help finance the move, which is expected to create dozens of new jobs.
