Make no mistake, you'll not be presentable with this beret straight out of the box... It has creases in it from folds, AND it is a bit fuzzy, would work out of the box for a Halloween costume... You'll need to shape & shave this guy like the rest. However it is a nice beret all the same. Note: It does not have an adjustable band, be sure to get this in the correct size! If anything, buy a size smaller, the leather band WILL stretch if you need it to.
