Heh, that is a good one. I found myself a little self-conscious about it the first time I wore one out, particularly one of the larger ones, but having done it so much now, I don't think twice. My Billy Chyldish cotton berets are among my favourites hats to wear in Summer.

The one thing I haven't yet gotten over is the fear of wearing a beret in Paris. No problem down in the basque region where it's still very common, but it Paris to date I've only seen one actual French man wearing a beret; all the rest have been foreign tourists wearing obviously newly-bought souvenirs. Wool berets in July heat too!

Wintuurrrrr.

Question for ya @Mm25 — what’s your fave vuelo size?

I think mine is typically 12” pulgadas, but recently I’ve been curious about the smaller vuelos. 9-10”. Do you have this size?
I hear many people say they are scared of big berets, but they are my favorite. I walk river trails by my house most days and I like 12 + inches to manipulate to block sun or wind.

Having said that I have a number of smaller berets, including the ones in this pic, that measure around 10.75 inches and for general wear around town they are good. I don’t think I would wear anything smaller.

If I could only have one, it would be 12 inch. Or maybe 12.5.
Hmmm, One beret, that’s funny.
