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

OS

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

XS S M L XL

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

53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62

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.

Comment étirer un béret taille unique (TU) ? 

A l'aide de vos mains, attrapez le béret fermement et tirez tout doucement entre vos mains en tournant le béret. Si ce n'est pas suffisant, répétez l'opération jusqu'à obtenir la taille souhaitée. Attention, il n'est pas possible de rétrécir un béret trop étiré.

Son histoire : Le Béret Max est le béret traditionnel plus large que le béret Véritable, mais moins que le béret Alpin bulle. Convenant aux femmes comme aux hommes, le Max est taille unique, sans tour de tête en cuir qui s'étire jusqu'à la taille 60.

Si vous souhaitez découvrir comment nous confectionnons un béret basque traditionnel, cliquez ici.

Sa composition : 

  • Base en laine vierge mérinos 100% française, tricotée et feutrée dans nos ateliers au pied des Pyrénées françaises
  • Doublure 60% acétate et 40% viscose
  • Ecusson 100% polyester
  • Rivet émaillé orné du blason de la Maison Laulhère
  • NETTOYAGE :

Le lavage en machine, lavage à la main et nettoyage à sec sont exclus pour la laine vierge mérinos feutrée. En cas de tache, épongez avec du papier absorbant et nettoyez avec une brosse douce ou une éponge naturelle imbibée d'eau tiède et de savon de Marseille, en évitant de mouiller excessivement le béret. Pour le séchage, toujours poser le béret à plat, avec un papier à l'intérieur, à l'air libre mais à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver sa forme et sa teinte d'origine. Ne jamais sécher votre béret sur une source de chaleur.

Astuce : Pour redonner un coup de fraîcheur à votre béret appliquez un peu de shampoing sec, laissez sécher quelques instants puis brosser.

  • BROSSAGE, DEPOUSSIERAGE : 

La laine mérinos feutrée est une matière aux qualités exceptionnelles. Cependant, elle capte facilement la poussière, les fibres textiles et les poils d'animaux. Nous vous recommandons donc d'utiliser une brosse à textile adhésive.

Astuce : Humidifiez légèrement la paume de votre main et frottez doucement la surface de votre béret en formant des cercles, les poussières formeront alors une boule que vous n'aurez plus qu'à retirer pour retrouver un béret propre.

Pour protéger au mieux votre béret, il est recommandé après chaque utilisation de le ranger dans un sac antimites ou utilisez une boule de cèdre.
