Kangol hat surges in popularity after TV series “Love Story”

Demand for the Kangol flat cap rose 14 % during the broadcast of the FX series “Love Story”, making it the tenth hottest fashion product in the latest Lyst Index. The show’s exposure sparked a wave of purchases, with the iconic hat moving from niche hip‑hop and celebrity accessory to a mainstream trend in the UK.

The resurgence was noted by actors from the series, including Paul Anthony Kelly, who told GQ that seeing fans in Kangols was “pretty wild”. Long‑time fans such as Samuel L. Jackson, LL Cool J and Liam Gallagher have historically worn the brand, but the recent TV‑driven boost has broadened its appeal beyond celebrity circles.
