What Makes a Beret Basque

A true Basque beret is made of dense wool felt or woven wool, knitted in one piece and then fulled so it sheds light rain - a working shepherd's and farmer's hat before it was a fashion one. It is worn pulled to one side or shaped with a slight peak, and sized more generously than a military beret. The small stalk, or cabillou, at the crown is the traditional finishing detail.

Berets in a General Hat Shop

Because few stores sell berets alone, this page lists established hat shops whose catalogs include them: dress hats, winter hats, Indiana Jones and collapsible top hats, leather hats, ivy and newsboy caps, and novelty lines. A beret buyer gains from that breadth - the same shop can fit a winter hat or a formal hat on the same visit.

Common Questions

How is a Basque beret different from other berets?

It is traditionally made in the Basque region style: one-piece woven or felted wool, fuller in diameter than a military beret, finished with a small stem at the crown, and dense enough to shed light rain.

How should a Basque beret be worn?

Pulled to one side is the classic look, though it can sit straight with a soft peak shaped at the front. Wool berets can be gently shaped by hand; avoid soaking them, and store flat or on a head form.

Which brands appear in these hat shops' ranges?

The listings name Kangol caps, Stetson hats, Kaminski, Tilley and designer Eric Javits among the brands carried by the full-service hat shops on this page.
