My chasseurs alpins has survived its first battle, with the USPS!
It is wonderful thick and dense. Comparing it to other berets is like comparing blanket weight wool to shirt weight wool.
I separate them by construction method.
One piece, I consider as from the beret family.
Multiple pieces, sewn together like a cap, I consider to be peakless caps.
This may not be a direct answer, as I do not a have a tam, however, I have balmorals and Irish caubeens, both of which are similar.
Robert Mackie is a respected Scottish maker.
Most modern tams are constructed from two pieces, with the top sewn onto the sides. Caubeens are constructed the same...
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
