Berets, Anyone?
This strikes me at being appropriate for this thread ;) https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-derbyshire-57402080 -

Elosegui Exposicion Fina long term review? I ask because I just got one, and it is a delight. It is much softer than the Ano 1858, which agrees with me, but, while I know my Ano 1858 will last decades, I was wondering how long me and my exposicion fina might have together, especially outdoors... -

How I speed up the softening of a boina elosegui 1858? I wear it all the time but I still feel it is overly stiff -- my MB berets are much softer from the very start, and 'fall' much more naturally. I would have thought that wearing the 1858 would eventually soften it, but apparently not... -

I have no idea about lighter weight wool (ask Daan!), but if you are willing to go with cotton, Arandu makes great cotton berets. I especially recommend their crochet cotton (which I find way better than other cotton berets). The crochet berets measure around 28cm (at least mine do)! I find... -

I just got some boinas Arandu crochet for the summer (it's -18 C and 50cm snow depth outside, but let's be optimistic!) -- holy cow, so much nicer than normal cotton boinas. A tad smaller than I'd like (I would like 1 or 2 extra cm of diametre for sun protection), but the weight and feel of the... -

Me -- I am follicularly challenged and I find my head is always more comfortable, even indoors, even with the heating on, if I wear a beret. -

On his blog Daan has this picture https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4sDK3codoaA/S7J35TambbI/AAAAAAAADOs/bmiYCKE6ZG8/s1600/La+Fortuna+Gaucho+Argentina.jpg That looks like a cotton beret to me. I am wondering why is this beret 'falling' like a wool beret: it seems to have the weight and body to do so... -

Does anyone know how to embiggen the head hole (head port?) of cotton berets? I have a couple of cotton boinas from Argentina, and my head is quite a lot bigger then the hole provided for it. In theory I could keep wearing them until they stretch, but they grip my head hard enough to give me a... -

Quick question on leather headbands. My first beret was a an Elosegui with a leather headband. The leather was hard and stiff, and I found it uncomfortable, which was no surprise to me, since I find the leather headband in my Akubra uncomfortable. I then got some Manufacture de Berets, most... -

I was wondering whether making the edge of beret much wider so that it can cover my ears, or it can be rolled back up when not needed is possible. It would transform a beret in a kausia of sort, but more practical than a Chitrali cap. -

Are there berets that can cover your hears and back of the head/neck? I do not mean an oversized beret that can be pulled down but something that would broadly keep looking like a normal beret with the added protection. I like the fact a beret can be used to shade my eyes from the sun, but... -

A curious question: what is the most common headband used by gauchos, leather or felt? I assume it is a matter or preference but also custom, so I am curious. Since people have their own preferences about this issue (and not just this), and might confuse a question with a statement of merit... -

As I have berets from MB and Elosegui 1858 I will add a couple of thoughts. Beret with leather headband: my MB with leather headband is *as good as it gets*. The leather is supple and soft, enough that rolling up the beret does not feel terribly different that a beret without a leather... -

In the spirit of keeping stuff complicated, I noticed that berets are not sold by metric units, but by inches. I also noticed that the same metric unit correspond to different inches, depending on whether we are using Imperial, Spanish, or French inches. So: 1 imperial Inch = 25.4 mm 1... -

Quick question boinas Elosegui: what's the difference in the felt in Super Lujo and 1858 berets, assuming there is one? -

Hi Daan, apparently I could buy directly from Elosegui, but their webshop does not seem to work for me (using four different browsers). On my phone I see a shopping basket but there is no way to put anything into it. Assuming they ever reply to my email I might get to the bottom of this. -

Question, where I can find someone selling the Elosegui berets *in Europe*? Daan sells most models, but it seems perverse to ship the berets from Europe to New Zealand, and then back to Europe. Casa Yustas sells some models but I am looking for the 1858 without leather band (Casa Yustas sells...
