wow antarctica awesome,, but i would take more than berets, i have sailed around the bearing sea to priviloff island and russia , it is friggen cold hats dont work that great i had a full coat and fur lined hood also layers of clothing is the best, take alot of pictures take careMy trip to Antarctica is only weeks away. Big decision, which berets to take with me.
I do feel the Boneteria Auloronesa in black and rust red is the way to go.

A sentimental moment this morning, having my last morning coffee in my faithful Adirondack chair on the deck of our Ngaio home (Beret HQ in the background) - no house I have lived in for longer or happier. A Reality Shield in the shape of an other old faithful, my Super Lujo in Caqui only has a limited effect on melancholia...

As yet, the future is a bit unclear, with a rental home in the meantime and the berets in a professional storage in town, but confident something good will come out of this.
Unfortunately, there is more reason for melancholia, which has all to do with the aforementioned Super Lujo.

Orders from Boinas Elósegui have remained unfulfilled for over 6 months, emails and phone calls remain unanswered and stock is running very low. Friend/colleague/competitor Ron Greer has already sold out of many models and if no changes very soon, I face the same disaster.

Hard to believe there could be coming an end to this 162-year-old and only remaining Spanish beret factory, but all evidence points in that direction. It makes for a pretty sad sales pitch, but if you are keen to own (another) real Elósegui: order now!

On a more positive note, this week on SPECIAL the Chasseur Alpin Original; a limited supply from $92.50 @ $72.50!
It's been a while since I last visited. Though, I do wear hats and berets daily—berets more often than not. This Aotearoa Txapeldun (thank you Daan) has been getting a good bit of wear time as one of my foul weather berets. From the looks of me, I still haven't woken-up from my hour and a half bus ride.
Dang, sorry to hear about Elosegui. I sure hope they recover. The Año 1858 is one of my favorites. If I'm dressed up, that beret gets the call.
