Default BERET INDUSTRIES LTD ( INDUSTRIES )

BERET INDUSTRIES LTD are examples which do not turn up very often and out of the 6 makers from WWII they are ether 5th or 6th in the makers tally for war time production KANGOL being 1st they are also one that tends not to get copied or altered to date .
The outer part of the beret is made of a thinner weaved wool material and tends to be softer than the other makers its weaved in the same way as the other makers again with the small bump at the center the pattern is very similar to the Navy but not as drastic at the sides.
1st and 2nd pic is taken next to a WWII mint KANGOL example which shows the martial difference
3rd and 4th pics show the slight pattern difference and how it compares to the RN examples note that its black and not dark blue .
