    Berets, Anyone?

    Got bored and googled a bit. In the military (Chasseur Alpin) the way to wear the beret has changed through the times. About 1905, with an upward kink at the forehead http://www.alpins.fr/chasseurs_alpins.html Somewhere in the fifties, almost vertical...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Oh my, another victim. You might as well order a bunch in one go and save the postage, you will do it anyway. The SP is a nice one, albeit a bit floppy and fluffy. Of similar size, but with a denser and thinner wool, is the argentinian Tolosa Tupida. Not as warm as the one above. Warmer and...

    Berets, Anyone?

    I missed everything of the Olympics, but with an unrelated google search, I found this. Now, if anyone had showed them how to wear that thing. But there have been worse dress code glitches at the olympics...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Something like this. My father´s old beret, which he doesnt wear anymore (he upgraded to a "Schiebermütze"). 270 to 280mm diameter and with one of these horrible sweatbands: leather, but sticky, hard, cracked, everything I thorougly despise. Its a too small (59 instead of 61), but I may remove...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Daan, you might convince me of getting a Yarmulke for myself. But it will take a bit longer to accept the thought of donning a sub 300mm basque beret.

    Berets, Anyone?

    The shape of my head My well worn Super beret shows how my head is shaped. Since its always worn the same way (I can read the label before putting it on the head), this is a cross-section of my noggin:D

    Biking with hats

    I have a hat at work for that purpose. You cant have too many hats, dont you?

    Most hats in one year

    Life is too short not to buy and wear good hats. Nine caps, twelve berets and no end of it.

    Berets, Anyone?

    As you like it! I started with pulling them straight to the front and gradually moved them to the left a bit. Only bigger ones, of course. Wouldnt like to look like an oak´s acorn with a small "cupule" on my head :) Its a beret, not a yarmulke :) :) Dark blue cotton Castilla from Daan, dug...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    I went with some friends for a bit of rockcrawling and photography yesterday, wearing one of my berets. When doing the latter a little girl aproached me and asked: "are you an artist?" "no, I only take pictures" "because you wear an artist´s cap!" It certainly made my day :)

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Is it ok to put them here? These are the ones I put on ebay because of a shrunken head. And I didnt give this as the reason for selling simply because noone outside this forum would believe it anyway. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120627286727&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT...

    The Cap Faction

    Two different ways... ...to wear two different caps: My "Vintage cap" from Hanna Hats I wear pulled down over the eyes, it seems natural for it. On the contrary, the "Eight Piece Cap", from HH too, I end up wearing all the way up, with the sweatband in the rear below the potruding part of...
