I used to think berets were lame but I've officially had my mind changed

idk if this is just a western military thing but aren't you supposed to soak your beret and wear it to form it to your head and prevent wrinkles? and also, isn't the insignia supposed to be on the front and not the side? i genuinely have no idea about the military traditions of these countries so they are probably to their own standards.
I honestly don't get the practical point of a beret. Not big enough to keep your head warm but also provides no shade.
It looks cool but that's about it.
If you arent looking cool while resisting the West why even bother ....
Military berets used to be bigger and provided some shade, but in modern times they’re used because they’re cool. Really the SAS made them popular in culture and now they’re associated with elite units as a status symbol. I’m not sure about African nations history with using them, but I assume it’s just colonialism and the elite status from before.
The fuck is this weird shit?
Those are the ones that were bigger and provided some shade lol you can shift it towards the sun for some protection.
They still wear that kind of stuff today btw
i think that's called drip?
I wear one working in kitchens. I hate hats and it's hot so my thin ass beret doesn't get me too sweaty under the hat like most and it makes anyone who doesn't know any better think I'm.in charge cause I'm.the only one wearing a beret.
wow you're well named
I'm smart as hell
I think it could keep your head a little warm in a mild climate with a short hair cut. Maybe, idk. It does stop your scalp from getting sun burn I guess
They have their own standards.
Berets if i can recall correctly, you CAN wet them and shave them with a razor to be more droopy but it honestly doesnt matter. Its just a stupid hat at the end of the day.
Poofy beret looks better
