KangolMen, Women Tropic 504 Ventair

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

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.

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.

The Kangol Tropic Ventair was very well received by my son at Christmas. The hat is comfortable, runs true to size, is vented to allow air flow to his head, and looks great on practically anyone. It can be worn with the rim facing forward, backwards, and even to the side, and it will still look good! I’ve borrowed the hat from him several times and it’s just a fun accessory to wear. The hat is very well made and the logo is clear and well stitched. It’s a good looking hat that can be worn in both casual and dress up situations, and one that I may have to buy another of because the kid is getting fed up with everyone borrowing his hat! This hat is definitely worth buying if you love the style.

My five year daughter said "That's not quite your style" LOL. I thought the color was light blue, but it's more like light green-blue...a big difference in what I wanted.The size is a pretty good fit, a little bigger than I expected though.I would buy again but they're just a bit expensive. Maybe dark grey, or brown. This color was a little too bright.

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.

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!

Got this in 2013. It's 2021, and I've worn it almost every day of the week (except since the pandemic started, when I've gone out less). I've thrown it around often and used it to carry stuff if a small bag isn't available. The thin material has developed some small holes but hasn't affected the overall look much. It's kept its form now and I feel it'll be two more years before I feel the need to replace it, but knowing I can still proudly hand it down to a good friend or relative.

This was my second cap of this model, colour and size. I had lost the first. It is light, well ventilated and very comfortable. 0f course you hve to be. Felt prettyThis is my second cap of this model, size and colour. Gosh, I’m boring. I lost the first. Of course, you have to be a flat cap person. If you’re not, it could convert you. But don’t be like me nd leave it in the taxi. Anyway the cap is great for the summer. Thoroughly recommend.

Bought this as I wanted a light weight hat I could wear for work as I'm getting fed up with baseball caps. This was ok but I wasn't wowed by it, not at that price anyway. The elasticated head band takes a bit of getting used to and the material is a bit weird. If feels a bit hard and is a bit like the material they use to make those flexible mesh shopping bags that grannies always seem to have. Maybe it would soften a bit after a while.Couldn't make my mind up about it so I sent it back in the end although I may order one again for my holidays later in the year!

The cap is wider than my previous two that I ordered. On checking the label I see there is a difference in code. In the past I have ordered tropic 507 ventair/medium - which is a perfect size and fit. However, not realising there was a choice (it was not specified) - I ordered tropic 504 ventair/medium. The style is wider ear to ear but unfortunately I had already cut the tag off. My two previous caps are perfect and I would recommend Kangol

A classic design, though I hardly wear it due to the weather being cold and the hat having vents encompassing it. I find that it fits rounder, larger faces better due to its large shape.

Keeps head cool in summer.Cool colours.
