KangolTropic 504 Ventair Brown, Large

Great

I decided to try a hat other than the beat up baseball style hat I have worn for decades. While thinking about what style I wanted to try I suddenly thought of my dad. He has worn this style Kangol for as long as I can remember. I call it "the old man" hat. I decided since I'm old now and this style is good enough for my dad it is good enough for me. I have mixed feelings over this hat. When I it arrived I put it on and asked my teenage daughter and wife what they thought, their replies are what gave me the mixed feelings. My wife said "you look like an old man", I can live with that, I am an old man and I like the hat. My teenage daughter said "you look like a hipster".....WHAT THE HECK IS A HIPSTER. She filled me in about hipsters and apparently the "old man" hat is a fad at the moment. So do I wear the hat and have the kids laugh at me because they think I'm trying to look young and hip? I just wanted something different to cover my head and keep the sun out of my eyes. This hat is VERY comfortable and I don't mind looking like my dad in the least. So those dang hipsters need to keep their comments to themselves.

I wear Kangol exclusively. I wear a s/m in a flexfit. I always buy a small in the 504. Medium in 507. The hat was perfect. The packaging is disrespectful to the brand. Crammed in a tiny box. I had no damage but it could be possible. People are very particular about these hats. Thank you. Great product.

These are excellent hats. I wound up buying a second one, since I wear the first I purchased at work; I work in a hot environment and have to wear a hat, and these breathe perfectly and don't get sweaty or really pick up smells badly over time. The first one I bought suffered an unfortunate incident with a cat, and thinking it was ruined I ran it through the washing machine just to have a small chance of saving it...and it came out perfectly clean, still in shape, and was good as new.They're well constructed, they look sharp, and they hold up to accidental mistreatment and daily use just fine. I had an older wool 504 that I quit wearing because the band wore out and it wouldn't keep shape well, but these ventairs seem to be much more sturdy and reliable than my older 504 was. I'm really happy with it, to the point that despite having two already I might order a couple more in different colors. Just a great year-round hat that looks good with almost anything.

It arrived in perfect time, I love it.... but now people tell me I look like dom deluise

I’m the age where I have had to get several spots on my balding head removed with liquid nitrogen. It stings like a bee and is absolutely no fun. Living in sunny Florida I decided I would wear something to protect my head more often, This is the fourth Kangol hat I have ordered, all different colors. The Ventair breathes better than a lot of hats/caps. I love them!
