Product Information

Full details

The Kangol Bamboo Hawker is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, classic newsboy aesthetic combined with modern material comfort. Its primary benefit is the exceptionally soft and luxurious texture provided by the bamboo fiber blend, making it an ideal choice for spring and summer wear. One caveat to keep in mind is that due to the specific material composition and structure, this cap requires careful handling and maintenance to preserve its shape and fabric integrity.

FAQs

Is the Kangol Bamboo Hawker suitable for winter?

While the cap provides decent coverage, it is specifically designed for the spring and summer seasons due to the breathable bamboo fibers and is not intended for cold or wet weather.

Can I wash this cap in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash this cap. The structure of the 8-panel construction and the materials used are delicate and may be ruined by agitation.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

The cap should feel secure thanks to the internal fillet band, but it should not be so tight that it leaves indentations on your forehead.

What is the primary material in this cap?

The cap is primarily made from a blend of 65% viscose from bamboo and 35% modacrylic, with a 100% nylon internal headband.

Does this cap come in different sizes?

Kangol caps generally follow standard headwear sizing. Refer to your specific product size (e.g., L) to ensure it corresponds with your head circumference.

Troubleshooting

The cap has lost its structural shape.

Lightly steam the crown and reshape it by hand using a hat mold or a clean, rolled-up towel to support the interior while it cools.

Surface lint or small fibers appearing on the cap.

Use a high-quality, soft-bristle garment brush in the direction of the fabric grain to gently lift and remove surface particles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft texture compared to traditional wool caps
  • Lightweight and breathable material ideal for spring and summer
  • Timeless 8-panel newsboy silhouette
  • Includes a structured fillet band for improved head fit

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy rain or winter conditions
  • Requires more delicate care than synthetic alternatives
  • Structured shape may be deformed if crushed during storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kangol Bamboo Hawker maintains its form and texture, store the cap on a dedicated hat stand or a flat surface rather than stacking it under other items. If the cap becomes slightly dusty, use a soft-bristled brush or a lint roller to gently remove debris. For the internal headband, which is 100% nylon, you may spot-clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, ensuring the main bamboo-viscose body remains dry. Avoid machine washing or submerging the cap in water, as this can destroy the internal structure and ridge definition.
