As the Batik Influencer or “La Batik Influencer” and I, the Hatted Writer; were setting up our booth at F1.16 on the first floor, our first customer to purchase some Hotwheels vehicles, was Jason. Jason purchased some Hotwheels vehicles from us a couple of weeks ago, too. We had a chat about how he started his collection, which he says is still a small number.

504 & 507 SO MANY GOOD CHOICES

The 504 is revered as Kangol’s iconic seamless flat cap. The shape was introduced to the market in 1954 when a stiffened peak was added to a beret.

The 504 name comes from the numbered hat block or mold used to create its shape from soft quality wool. It is easier and less intimidating to pair with a wide range of clothing and has a short well-rounded front brim for luxurious comfort. And it is fashionable, breathable, and comfortable. The 504 looks great on everyone, but some say it is better suited for a person with a longer face.

Brands like Kangol are always looking for new styles to suit every possible taste, leading the innovative Kangol design team to create the Kangol 507. Building on the success of the 504, the 507 is also a flat cap with a very slight but noticeable sharper shape and a crown that is just a tad taller in the back.

This depth of the crown gives the 507 a fit more like a baseball cap. Like its predecessor, the 507 was also an instant success and a favorite of many.

While the subtleties in the variations are slight, it has a slightly different look and is said to be best suited for a person with a fuller and rounder face.

By having both, the 504 and 507 to choose from, consumers have just that many more choices. You will be delighted by the many options with both styles available in tons of unique fabrics and traditional and vibrant colors.
