Hey @Edward — check out this post below Daan put up back in 2020 about the reason the military has that a history of pulling the beret to the Left.
Personally, I stay away from wearing my boinas in a manner that might evoke military associations or pulled back like Ché, and definitely no stars...
Fond memories ahead. When I was traveling through Catalonia I was introduced to a Basque liquor well known in Navarra, called Pacharán.
This liquor is made with small plums/cherries called “endrinas” that are local to Basque Country. What was an unexpected pleasure was how similar the liquor...
This looks delicious, @Mm25! I’m glad you posted about Spanish liquors and berets.
When I was in Spain recently, I discovered the Navarre liquor that I’ve come to love. I’ll post that next!
@Edward — thanks for these cool posts. The factory tour definitely looks cool and seems to have had a lasting impression on you.
Did you buy any berets while you were there? Keepsakes?
Thought you fellas might appreciate this. I got this nice silver Pyrrha pin as a gift and thought it would look good on my boina.
While not looking to redo a chasseur alpin look, it does remind me of that beret style a little. At least I like it better than the Laulhere.
Pure classic. Mine has the leather band, and while I’ve said before that it feels like a proper hat when I wear it, I also noticed that it does leave a pink band on my forehead even if the size is correct for me.
I love these posts, @Daan — you have a talent for posting about the new and the old, all tied to the beret/boina/txapela.
You reckon the guy with the hammer is French because of the gallo? (Rooster)
