I have worn berets for over 30 years, love them , unfortunatly they fall out of packs, pockets, cars and I have lost  alot of grreat hats. This is is ok, not as big as I would like, not as heavy, I work out side in a beret 7 months of the year, I will wear it, lost my really heavy one from Paris, but will keep looking. works good for NW spring.
