Berets, Anyone?
Hi guys! Thought I’d stop by and see how the aficionados are doing and what/where everyone is rockin their boinas. Hope everyone is doing well and healthy! A few weeks ago I was in NY to accompany my niece to her university welcome reception, and chose to wear one of my Encartada 11”. -

Hi @Fedster — thanks for responding back. I think I’ve also heard the little tail called cabillu in French. Are all your berets French? Also, very interesting yours point the same way (back) but not square with the label. So you don’t use the label to find the “front” of the hat, right? -
