Okay, so I ordered this in red and the color and quality are fine, as well as the style of knitting shown.  That being said here are the problems: the pompom shown is not anywhere in evidence, there is a pompom but it is a scant one inch in diameter and looks more like a round button.  So that is NOT as shown.  Also there is no way this is a "slouchy" beret; this is a beret.  A lot of hats termed berets are skimpy, this is not, that is a good thing.  This is a full beret but it is NOT a slouchy, loose fitting beret.  For the price, it fits well, covers what should be covered, will do the job and it isn't "Skimpy" but it also doesn't have the stylistic flair that I expected from the photo.  Another note:  I'm not even sure this is the correct item, the style I received is BR349 from Angela and Williams.  I will keep it because I like the price and color and quality but it isn't exactly what I expected.
