From last December after a Christmas snowfall,
the Flaminigo 400-31 exclusive.
With a headband and lined with satin fabric.
I wore for a month then washed not at Mt. Aso
but in a basin.
It turned out fine.
The 6200 and 400 with headbands are this weeks' special at SPB.
The chasis for the 6200 and 400 does double duty as a universal and with a headband and
Lined and unlined.
The new Crow berets are lined 6200 and 400 in a universal stretch to fit.
also Crow label, custom liner fabric
My curent most comfortable worm beret is a 400-31 universal stretch to fit.
My current indoors beret is a unlined Flamingo 6200 with a adjustable headband.

Next is an Arandu wool beret with with Andean Cross motif.
These Arnadu berets have that chilled gaucho look.
Arandu from Argentina does interesting berets.
The Arandu berets are contructed in the traditional shape of a beret
but the knit is like that of a medium weight sweater.
Indoors the Arandu are warm,
step outside into a stiff breeze and you feel it.
That might be good when exerting yourself outside,
such that you don't sweat soak your traditional Basque beret.

So, the design on the Arandu berets is significant.
There is much debate about the provence and meaning of the
Andean Cross or Chakana.
One of the earliest ruling city state in South America was Tiwanaku.
Tiwanaku was centered at Lake Titicaca.
The Tiwanaku built mounds with the tiers (cake layers)
oriented with the Andean Cross vectors.
So the design goes way back.

Hey Daan, thanks for your charitable efforts on behalf of Ukraine.

I love port and madeira and sherry. Fortified sweet wines are some my favorites. I’ll look for amoroso.
Mm - I like sherry/Jerez too! I experimented a bit with the range and I’m definitely a Crema fan. Here’s the range, wonder what kind of Jerez you like?

What a difference a day makes. Today it’s 40 degrees warmer. I’ve worn a beret almost everyday since early February. They are so functional. I wish I would have started wearing them years ago
