How I clean-UpKeep and rock my Kangol Tropic 507 Ventair, for over 30 years. #kangol #kangolTropic #kangolTropic #kangolTropic507Ventair #kangolShouldSponsoreMe
Dude! Best video on Kangol. A lot of good info in this vid. I especially appreciated the HECK out of the info on the “pop ups” / paper towel for the tip of the bill. 5+ years ago I had a Kangol 504 (not the 507) and I actually got rid of it because the top on the front looked way too wavy and didn’t set right like how you made it. That’s a game changer for me because I love the look, but it just didn’t look right… FOR THAT REASON. For the money, Kangol really should be offering something like that (a filler on top of some kind) even if it was sold separately. I am gonna save this video to favorites for future reference, and I will DEFINITELY be buying my next Kangol for summer and use that pop-up technique. Like you said in the video, THATS how it should look. Side note, I learned the 507 has less “beret” rounded style than the 504. That’s why I’m also gonna get the 507 next time. ALSO, I see some guys bending the brim like a ball cap. I think that also might help with keeping the material on top tight. Also keeps it tighter in the sides. Not the beret look. I found myself agreeing with you throughout the video. Thank you bro 👍🏼 -Some dude from NY
Bro, so awesome! I never thought this video would hit home and be helpful. Wow! Love all you explained and all, we relate! Cool! Oh so the 507 is less Baret, rounded than the 504? I would rather that. I sometimes get ones that are too wide on the sides. right now I just purchased 3 new 504, and I think they are too wide rounded on sides.. hhmmm.. maybe I should have got the 507 then>.. shoot! Thanks!
@@BrianLife yes I highly recommend the 507. Since that post I got the Tropic 507 Ventair in beige. That was the same color as the old 504 I had so I know the comparison. It’s what I was going for back then and now I got it right. There is a difference. Definitely less on the sides and more streamlined. Not a *dramatic* difference, but it’s definitely a difference. Same/similar look just different fit.
@@Bada_Boom78 Hey, that's so funny. I just purchased a 507 last night. beige. we think. alike. I do remember getting a 5O7 in the past, but it did not have the ventier holes. it was sort of tight inside.. but I managed. I guess if this one's too tight, i'll have to return it to get a larger size. But I do like that it doesn't have so much bulk on the sides.
@@Bada_Boom78 that’s exactly how I feel about the beige. It’s always good to match and is fitting whatever season you’re in. Funny how kangol colors fit with certain weather! Lol.
@@Bada_Boom78 so my 507 came today and sadly it’s too small. I usually wear a Medium, in 504. But 507 seems slightly to tights ) only a bit) and if I wash it. No. So I may have to step it up to the L. Honestly as much as I don’t like the puffy beret, side of the 504. After a few washes it’s seems to fit good with less side puff. I feel like the 507 is slightly too streamlined for me. Makes my mug-face look too big, lol. I could get use to it but…Wish there was an in between. lol. Or that the 507 was not so tight. Hmmm. So tough. I may have to stick with the 504. Shrunk.l/fits good after 5 or so washes. I may even have to get Large in that too, ( older age 48, Big head) lol. I’ll return/order the Large and see if that works but my gut is telling me to just stick with 504. And wash it a few times, to fit good.
@@klsecond5755 I like their stuff but never wear it because of the reasons he mentioned with regard to the top of the bill. Looks sloppy, but that pop up hack 💯 Clean
This is a good video! Because my puff foam is so thin and I never thought about making my own! So yea, I am going to make some, and also wash mine!
Awesome! So glad it helped!

that is a dedicated customer
Knowledgeable too. Sent us good info.
@@Bada_Boom78 from your other comment, you must be the biggest Kangol enthusiast.
