When Samuel L. Jackson tells you to do something, you do it. That power might prove beneficial for the American economy given the latest campaign by hatmakers Kangol that the accomplished thespian has thrown his support behind. In a Kickstarter campaign, Kangol has launched the “Motherfunder“ initiative to bring a total of 70 specialist hat-making machines to the U.S., in addition to 10 machines that have already been shipped, in a bid to make American jobs and increase the quality of Kangol hats.
