SIZE GUIDE FOR BERET AND CAP

Why doesn't every beret come in the same size?

On our eshop, all our berets are unisex, and so are the sizes. Depending on their design and the materials used to produce them, sizes are managed differently. You'll find 3 types of berets and caps:

SIZE

These are borderless berets, generally made from wool, a material that is naturally stretchable, so they can be adapted to the vast majority of head sizes. Their diameter is suitable for most people, and can be easily stretched at home to get bigger if necessary.

If you have a head circumference less than 55 cm or more than 60 cm, we advise you to choose a suitable model from our range of sizes.

Please note: once stretched, the beret can no longer be shrunk.

SIZE

These berets generally have a stretchy grosgrain or leather band on the inside, and come in five sizes, from XS (extra small) to XL (extra large). They come in 5 sizes, from XS (extra small) to XL (extra large), to suit all head sizes thanks to the flexibility of the border. See our size codes and the corresponding head sizes in cm in our size chart.

Note: if you're hesitating between 2 sizes, it's best to opt for the larger size to guarantee your comfort.

SIZE

For some models with leather bands, there are sizes corresponding to the exact head circumference in cm. These sizes range from 54 to 62 cm. To measure your head size correctly, please read our recommendations.

Note: if you're hesitating between 2 sizes, it's best to opt for the larger size to guarantee your comfort.

How to measure your head circumference?

Head circumference is measured at forehead height, about 1-2 cm above the eyebrows, and at the bump at the back of the head.

If your measurements are between 2 sizes, take the biggest, your beret will be more comfortable to wear. To find our advice by model, please consult the model’s page.

What is the plate diameter of a beret?

Traditionally, a beret is measured according to 2 dimensions: its plate, also known as its "collar", i.e. the outside diameter of the beret when it lies flat, and its head circumference, i.e. the inside diameter of the beret opening.

"Bibi" or "commando" type beret

Bibis and commando berets sit very close to the head and are suitable for all face shapes.

Beret small plate 26 cm

Beret size recommended for thin faces or children.

Beret plate 28 cm

Beret size to suit all face shapes.

Beret large plate 32 cm

Beret size recommended for angular and round faces.

How do i stretch a one-size-fits-all beret?

Our one-size-fits-all berets, if they are made from merino wool, can be stretched thanks to the properties of merino wool and the elasticity of its fibres.

We explain how to gently stretch the fibre to gradually adjust the diameter of your beret in this video.

Description

Unisex silk scarf
Pink, orange, Laulhère blue and gave print
Arbola badge, symbol of the Basque-Béarnaise anthem
Scarf size: 150 cm long and 30 cm wide
Made in France

The Baliera scarf is the new product for this summer. For the first time, we have decided to explore new horizons by creating our scarves in mixed silk. The Baliera is a bright pink scarf that tells the story of Laulhère's ancestral heritage with its Arbola printed badge representing the Basque-Béarnaise anthem. Soft and light, the Baliera mixed silk scarf can be worn in several ways: around the neck, as a belt, as a top, in the hair... etc. It is the accessory that will enhance your summer outfits.

History

The Laulhère workshops are still located today on the exact spot where they were born in 1840, at the foot of the Bearnais Pyrenees, perched above the raging waters of the Gave d'Oloron. More than 80 years of history, tradition and expertise have gone into the making of the authentic Laulhère beret.

This French emblem has been worn by film stars, sportsmen, musicians and writers alike, and has travelled the world thanks to the intrepid sailors and explorers who set off from the Basque country. Our berets have bravely traversed the 20th century, travelling from the peasant to the worker, from the Parisian titi to the jazzman of the Latin Quarter, from the silent film starlet to the cigar-chomping revolutionary and the singer with millions of fans. Today more than ever, with all these intertwined stories, Laulhère berets represent an incredibly varied heritage that everyone can make their own to express their own style.
