They gained wider attention following their adoption by members of the hip-hop community in the 1980s, such as Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, and Kangol Kid of UTFO, and the release of more consciously stylish products in the 1990s such as the furgora (angora-wool mix) Spitfire, helped by its presence upon the head of Samuel L. Jackson in 1997. Kevin Eubanks, bandleader for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, sports a Kangol beret on an almost nightly basis.
