    Thanks for that info Nico . I think BA has a dark red color? Bordeaux is it? I think you have that one? Is it close to maroon? Thanks

    Berets, Anyone?

    I do need an 11p for the colder weather here... probably a Marine colored BA :) I do have an Espinosa cotton béret which I look forward in using in the hot weather. There are some other nice cotton ones on Daan's site.

    Hi Nico, that's a great looking BA. It looks like it provides you with some nice shade. Today in Massachusetts we had an unusually warm winter day at 10C. I wore my BA French Khaki 10.5P :)

    Here in the Northeast US one has to be a bit inventive to wear one's béret when it's -11C . I have a bunch of inexpensive neck/head bands I wear around my ears with my béret. It's a pretty warm setup. :)

    You guys might find this National Geographic short video on the Gauchos of Chile interesting... bérets everywhere!

    Bérets in the rough. I met this gentleman last night while at a Vietnamese restaurant. He was on one side of me and an older woman also wearing a béret was on the other side. This guy was wearing a wool military styled béret. He told me he much prefers a béret to wearing a baseball cap, but...

    Btw, another great find thanks to the béret, specifically, the BA béret is Savon de Marseille! I was wondering what that smell was from the BA béret. Then in a past post, Daan resolved the mystery. That the BA's use Savon de Marseille in their process and thus have hints of the fragrance of the...

    I like that béret RJR... nice color and fits you well sir.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Hi Blackthorn, if you get a reasonably sized béret, you can actually shape it to be more of a "newsboy" cap creating a lid to shelter your eyes from the sun and rain. I wear my beret this way all the time, I can even cover my ears slightly this way. My head size circumference is about 57.5 cm...

    Daan's cotton's are nice, I bought an Espinosa one not too long ago. No lining, but just the cool label. :)

    Hey Nick, always looking cool there my man. What size is the béret sir?

    Berets, Anyone?

    The one thing I find unique to bérets amongst all other sartorial items is the tremendous amount of relationships it has intrinsically acquired over many years. Arts, Military, Revolutions, Gauchos, Literature, Cultural tribes (e.g. beatniks), etc... and it has been pretty much the only piece of...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Nico, I like your dedication! We get extremes at both ends of the temperature spectrum here in the Northeast US. Last week we were -20C and in the summer we can get a heat wave with temps near 37C. I think my favorite merino wool béret weather is from 2C to 26C. I look forward to every...

    For you gentlemen "Down Under" what are the type of bérets you wear during your summer months? Do you find the merino wool still comfortable in the warmer weather?
