    Berets, Anyone?

    On the subject of editing pictures for websites etc., I found the FastStone Image Viewer http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm to be the perfect tool. Fast and slim, it makes resizing, cropping and a lightweight pp a doddle. All the pictures on my website get a work-over with this fine...

    Berets, Anyone?

    Breaking in the new Boinas Elosegui Super Lujo on a spring hike. Lots of sweat and body warmth to shape it. With a small diameter beret like this, only 30 cm ;), I have to take care in arranging the fold for maximum protection of the eyes. After the hike the beret will remain on the head til its...

    Yes, these small differences are very difficult to capture with a camera A question to these two: do they have the same lining or different colours, too?

    "tough as nails" does indeed describe the SL. Hard to beat into submission I would add. If you like your beret big and holding its shape, no matter the weather, its the way to go. A true reality shield. But my new Foulard Alpin from BA is cutting into the SL's head time at the Moment. So many...

    Maybe Daan has a beret helmet cover left over. He used to sell these a couple of years ago.

    The more of vthese fashionable berets are sold by Laulhere and worn, the greater the demand for traditional ones from the other brands? I hope so!

    One should think that a struggling company tries its best to build up production and acts flexible for the sake of additional sales. Sort of "Hey Daan, we received an order from the belgian forces, do you want to add to this with an order for yourself?"

    My BA Foulard Alpin is wearing great. After the first sweaty hike it begins to conform to my head. The dark navy is definitely a plus.

    At 1:06 "... they are the last manufacturer in the world to make berets the way they do" Really? (Still, best of luck to the dedicated people from Laulhere)

    Berets, Anyone?

    The occasional woman I see wearing a beret, does it with the rim on the outside and all pulled down. Dont know why, its the only way they do it. Those men who wear it, the "proper" way, are at least in their fifties or way beyond. The brimmed cap is whats worn by all ages. There is the...

    Having received my Foulard Alpin Universel from Boneteria Auloronesa, in dark blue, I thought it worth showing you four shades of dark blue. In the pictures you see a black Boinas Elosegui, center top. Then from left to right -Boneteria Auloronesa, -Boinas Elosegui Super Lujo, -An old one from...

    A beret shows the shape of my head in quite an unflattering way.

    With my 61-61.5cm noggin, a small beret is like wearing a kippa. ;)

    Berets, Anyone?

    Sadly, my woolen one from Tolosa Tupida doesnt get enough wear-time since its a small 30cm and doesnt create enough fold over the eyes. Once I have € 120,- to spare I will get me a couple of the big ones. TT are that good. Those made from cotton are excellent in warm weather, but I am a very...
