Default BRITISH BERET BASQUE LTD

The outer part of the beret is constructed much in the same way as the other war time makers which was much a standard through out all of the makers its the insides that tend to be different and British Beret Basque Ltd is no different in this . The main difference to the outer part of the beret is that its a softer to the touch than all of the other makers and tends to peel and go bumpy more .

The leather band is a thinner than the other makers and can dry out more especially with the green / brown berets which only have a light brown color leather band which is always a bit more fragile and tends to crack probably something to do with the type paint used which creates a water proof layer and stops the leather from breathing and causes it to dry out which is shown in pictures 6 & 7 note pic 7 is a kangol next to a basque.
