Some stars wear hats. Samuel L. Jackson is a hat guy — and the hat is almost always a Kangol. Over decades of red carpets, talk-show couches, and film roles, Jackson has made the British cap brand part of his personal signature, often worn backwards with the kangaroo logo front and center. If any celebrity-and-hat pairing is iconic, it's this one.

The best part? Kangol is a brand we carry — so getting the look is refreshingly easy. Here's how.

The Furgora 504 (his signature)

Jackson's most recognizable Kangol is the plush, fuzzy Furgora — a soft, texture-forward cap that's unmistakable and instantly cool. If you want the true Samuel L. Jackson look, this is where you start.

Shop the look:

The wool 504 (the everyday classic)

The 504 is Kangol's most famous shape — a flat cap with a rounded, modern profile. In wool, it's the versatile, year-round cap that anchors the whole look and goes with everything.

Shop the look:

The 507 (a sleeker cousin)

The 507 is the 504's flatter, more streamlined sibling — a great pick if you want the Kangol identity with a lower-profile shape.

Shop the look:

Warm-weather Kangol

Jackson wears Kangol year-round, and so can you. For summer, the brand's breathable Tropic line keeps the look going without the heat.

Shop the look:

Wear it your way

Forwards, backwards, or tilted — Jackson has worn his Kangol every which way, and that's the whole point: it's a confident, personal hat. Get your size right with our hat sizing guide, then browse the full lineup.
