[ASR142]

The inside part of the beret is made roughly in the following way
1st picture : 1 The inner is printed out in one stage a round circle , 2 broken diamonds and makers name date and arrow all done at the same time the location of this is always the same although the stamping's change slightly as re inking takes place. Kangol Berets from WWII are all ways the same.
2nd picture The outer large broken circle creates the inner stitched edge the 2 diamonds are for an internal diamond peace of cloth to be stitched to keep it in place as a reinforcement for the crown unlike some modern berets the inner crown is in no way attached to the outer crown of the beret allowing it to be shaped as required .
3rd picture shows : The size of the beret is only determined by the size of the woven outer section at a later stage as they can be used for any beret 1 size fits all saves materials during construction .
the size stamp is all ways hand applied at the end of construction and is very rarely in the same place let alone the same way up
NOTES
1 Something to note here is the way round the stamping is its all ways the same way round it never changes this ensures that when the leather trim is applied it starts and finishes in the same place to the rear of the beret .
2 Kangol leather trim is a straight but to but join with the ribbon tie making its slight out of shape on the used examples
3 The diamond stitching starts at one corner of the larger diamond then goes around to form the diamond then crosses over to make the 2nd diamond and ends up where it started this pattern is unique to Kangol ( pic 2 follow the thread around )
