    Berets, Anyone?

    Enjoying a warm, quiet evening in the garden with a "Blaumann" (German "Bleu de travail"), Tolosa Tupida Plato Grande, Campari Orange, a very good book (John Gimlette: Elephant Complex - Travels in Sri Lanka) and the dog for company.

    Berets, Anyone?

    We have a real heat wave over here, 34°C, so wearing a woolen beret is out of question. Mch to the dismay of some children in my class, who got used to that old man wearing such strange headgear

    Berets, Anyone?

    Hello Daan, good to read from you again. One question, though: how many berets did you bring along on this journey? ;)

    Berets, Anyone?

    A nice, fresh design and sure to make an impact in the fashion crowd, thus promoting the beret. Sadly without a cabillou, so unwearable for me.

    Berets, Anyone?

    For anyone looking for an additional beret besides the usual black or navy one, I do recommend these. Being of a dark and greenish variant, unlike the khaki normally used in trousers and shirts, this colour provides a good match to almost all other clothing. Daan made a very good and universal...

    Berets, Anyone?

    My two BE khaki berets from the SPB special arrived today. The Boina Exposicion Classica (left) is like my old "Basica", as soft and coarse on the surface, measuring 315cm and weighting in at 82gr. Very soft and pliable, packs really small. The other is a Super Lujo with the old label, its...

    Berets, Anyone?

    This beret is made from a quite heavyweight wool, 210gr for a 34cm diameter is a lot and this stabilizes the beret. Its was broken in quite fast and does keep its shape well. By comparison, the Super Lujo Txapeldun from Boinas Elosegui weights a scant 165gr in this size, but is quite stiff and...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Easter is gone, winter is back. The Txapeldun rules! ;) This one is the Chasseur Alpin „Bakarra“ from Blancq-Olibet

    Berets, Anyone?

    I havent found a thinner/lighter merino wool beret than the Tolosa Tupida. The Tupida from BE comes close, but is no longer available.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Skimming off the top is the prerogative of le chef-des-berets. ;) (As long as SWMBO doesnt complain too much about the multitude of berets laying around)

    Berets, Anyone?

    Its cold outside this morning. But what a better way to start my holidays than being dressed up warm, drinking coffee, reading a good book and wearing the new BE 1858 (13,5"/31,5cm/138gr.) with its beautiful silver lining?

    Berets, Anyone?

    So no more free trade, at least in one direction. What a way to run a country and being backed in this by sixty million voters. The question arises, who is in charge of issuing said certificate and on what grounds? Is this centralized, with one certificate being issued for one type of goods...

    Good god, at 20c I am unable to wear a woolen beret anymore

    Berets, Anyone?

    Waking the dog in baggie shorts, a vintage Ray Ban and my cotton TT. The first really warm day here, 20°C. Nice.

    Berets, Anyone?

    With matching neckerchief, badge included, albeit only in navy. Nice!

    Berets, Anyone?

    Ah yes, the Plato Grande from Tolosa Tupida. It wears nicely, its 32 cm being a good compromise between the extremes. I started wearing one last week, you know. Because, embarassing as it may be, I found one in my cabinet. It seems I own two berets from TT, the smaller one I knew about and the...

    No, I will not start to wear green ones. No, I will not start to wear green ones ... ;)

    Berets, Anyone?

    Those berets are getting me into the poor house. Now I will wait for those khaki ones ordered from Daan and then I will feed my new found addiction to berets in dark blue with some 32 cm ones from Tolosa Tupida.

    Berets, Anyone?

    For the lovers of small berets, this is my smallest one with a 22cm diameter. I got it cheap off ebay and it was in a pitiful state. The txortena wah hanging by one wool fibre and since I deem a beret basque unwearable with out a txortena, I had to sew it on. The lining was coming off, too and...
