About the original
The Kangol Bermuda Spacecap is a knit baseball cap made in Kangol's Bermuda fabric, a textured warm-weather knit, with an open cut-out at the back closed by a color-matched elastic band. The seamless knit shell and vented rear make it a hot-weather take on Kangol's rounded Spacecap crown. Kangol was founded in 1938 by Jacques Spreiregen, whose first factory sat in Cleator, Cumbria, England; the ANG and OL in the name come from angora and wool, the K from silk or knitting, depending on which account you trust. The company supplied berets to British forces in World War II and to the 1948 Olympic team before its knit caps became fixtures of 1980s and 1990s hip-hop wardrobes. Supreme's version is the standard Bermuda Spacecap carrying box-logo branding.
About Kangol

Bollman Hat Company has owned the brand since 2001. Supreme has collaborated with Kangol on co-branded bucket hats and 504 caps.
