Firmin Navy Blue British Army Beret (RLC, Royal Sigs, REME,MPS)

I have had two of these berets in the past, and wanted a new one for remembrance parades etc .The quality is good the fit is as I expected, not too tight , just right to allow for shrinkage during shaping , I have not had a chance to do this yet, but based on past experience of these berets it will be fineI see some people complained about sizing however it was what I expected.

Hi, I took a measurement around my head just above the eyebrows before sending for this, Which measured (57 cm). To be safe I went for the next size up (58cm) and as you can see from above, it was still a very tight. I did slack the tape around the head band but this made very little difference. Since then I have ordered another one at (59 cm) Although there was an improvement it was still a little on the tight side, which I can probabley stretch a bit, But I have ordered another one (60 cm) I have not received this as yet although I have been informed that it has been despatched. Taking all of this in consideration I would suggest that people ordering these should go at least two sizes above your head measurement. This being said the beret's are of very good quality and the small crown means that they do not need shrinking as we had during my army days Thank you. Derek

Ordered a 58, fits perfectly, shaped easily and looks great. You could use it with a cloth (officer type) cap badge, but I'm adapting it for a metal (stay-bright type)cap badge, it will involve cutting a small slit and probably having to sew the back of the badge in place.

u will have to soak it for 3mins and put on head to shape it to suit u but worth every pound and just the way I used to wear mine back in 1968 a well finished job thanks

Exelent, no problems

Looks and feels like poor quality, the crown is large not small as advertised. Gave to youngest to play with.

Beret is comfy wearing and fits brilliant only usse is that it doesn't have a pocket wear you would usually slip the clip of the capbadge in, in its place is a weird square cardboard separately stitched to the inner lining.You may have to create your own hole for the capbadge to sit correctly or possible sew it in place

Quick delivery, product as advertised and definitely better than the issue Beret. Easy to shape and was ready to go in no time.
