In the film industry, a gaffer is usually the person responsible for the lighting of a production and the ‘look’ of the final product. But back in the day, namely 16th Century England, the term ‘gaffer’ refered to the man at the top of any labor organization, and even to this day is an often used synonym for ‘boss’. So in respect to Bruce Springstreen (who has said he doesn’t like the moniker anyway), the Tropic Gaffer Trilby is the Boss of Kangol headwear, the voice…of the working hat. Made from an impressively simple 50% Chlorofibre and 50% Polyester, this tropical storm gaffs with the best of the best (and an embroidered Kangol wordmark and blue woven label will vouch for that). Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
