The Finnish army style beret. These are good enough to use in the service, the manufacturer is the very same who supplies the army.

Made of 100% wool, with leather sweatband. Wet before shaping, and leave it on your head. It dries in form. There are ridiculous amounts of shaping instructions around and of course every one of them is the right one, so we leave it at that.

The beret is not to be washed ever, it just naturally builds up character in use. You can spot a pro if his/her beret is all faded and worn, but sits peculiarly well on the head.

Factory new, made in Germany by Albert Kempf GmbH & Co. KG.
