structure of a beret

The regiment’s insignia affixed to the edge makes the difference between military and civilian berets. The headband is often worn turned outside, and each army corps has its own rules about how its berets should be prepared and folded.

The Plein Ciel team can customize every detail of your beret for your requirements.

The Crown is the outside diameter of the beret, ranging from 8.7 to 11 inches; we will adjust to your required diameter and ensure consistency during the manufacturing process.
