Legendary sporting brand Everlast is celebrating it's 100th Anniversary as the undisputed brand of choice for athletes worldwide. In recognition of this major feat Everlast has collaborated with Kangol, another heavyweight in the headwear arena for this special collection. This connection brings together two of the most recognized brands in their respective leagues. The collection features four distinct hat styles representing four quarters of Everlast's 100 year anniversary.
First up is the Everlast Spitfire leather, 8-panel hat, representing 1910-1935. The Spitfire is made with supple glove leather and laced with a satin lining representing boxing robes. The second quarter brings in the classic Everlast Player Fedora Hat repping 1936-1960. This gem is made with 100% lite felt wool and features a stingy brim. The Player also dons a satin lining. 1961-1985 brings us to the standard Everlast Beanie Hat, celebrating fictional but iconic boxing hero Rocky Balboa. This is your basic thin-ribbed beanie with a 3-inch cuff made with acrylic yarn. Finishing off the century, Everlast comes through with the 5-panel cap representing 1986-2010. Using Kangol's base model of 5-panels, these caps bring forth 20th century technology such as UV-A and UV-B sun protective treatments plus water repellent fabric.
