I bought two of these as gifts.  The quality is really good.  Actual felt and pretty thick.  Some beret's on the web are very thin and cheesy, not these.  I have a "Super Basque" I bought 35 years ago that is still in great shape (and I wore it every day for many years) and this is quite comparable in the felt.  The SB had lining etc and was a "nicer" hat on the inside but a SB is also twice to three times the price.
