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.

Made from 100% cotton, the Mestura Beret is lightweight and breathable, perfect for warm days. Its heathered yarn gives it a linen-like appearance for a unique style. Inspired by the Senecio and Chistera models, it features an exposed grosgrain band and an adjustable tie, ensuring a perfect fit and a refined finish. To tie the cord, cross each strand before making your knot. Pulling on both cords separately may damage your beret. Adorned with a Laulhère summer beige crest and an enameled rivet bearing the Maison Laulhère emblem, it is available in three colors: jute, brume, and artile. Made in France, it showcases the artisanal expertise of Maison Laulhère, a benchmark in exceptional berets.

Les ateliers Laulhère sont situés aujourd'hui encore à l'endroit exact où ils sont nés en 1840, au pied des Pyrénées béarnaises, perché au-dessus des eaux fougueuses du gave d'Oloron. Plus de 80 ans d'histoire, de tradition et de savoir-faire sont concentrés ici pour réaliser la confection du véritable béret Laulhère.

Cet emblème français a coiffé aussi bien des stars de cinéma que des sportifs, musiciens ou écrivains, et fait le tour du monde grâce aux marins et explorateurs intrépides partis du pays basque. Nos bérets ont traversé crânement le XX° siècle, voyageant du paysan à l'ouvrier, du titi parisien au jazzman du quartier latin, de la starlette du muet au révolutionnaire à cigare et à la chanteuse aux millions de fans. Aujourd'hui plus que jamais, riches de toutes ces histoires entremêlées, les bérets Laulhère représentent un héritage incroyablement varié que chacun peut s'approprier pour exprimer son propre style.
