Not Chinese Owned?
According to the article, Kangol is now "Chinese-owned." This is, as far as I can tell, untrue. I edited the article to reflect this. If anyone can find a source that demonstrates that it is in fact Chinese-owned, however, I'll gladly change it back. Best I can tell, Bollman Hats owns the brand, making it American-owned.

This is probably a misconception due to the fact that the Cleator and Frizington factories closed at the end of the 1990s with production moving to China. --Footix2 (talk) 16:40, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Kangol is actually owned by IBML, which is in turn owned by mike ashley, the current owner of newcastle fc. The licence to sell Kangol headwear was sold to the Bollman group of Adamstown,PA,USA Collieman (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
