Kangol beret construction question
I read the excellent post/article on WW2 berets (thank you, very helpful).
I have a question regarding the stitching of the liner, specifically as it pertains to the "3rd" row of loose tacking described in the article.
I have seen what appear to be
WW2 berets, made by Kangol, matching in every detail the manufacturing of a ww2 beret, with the exception of the "3rd row of loose tacking". It is often not present or missing.
Can someone comment on this?
Would the absence of the third row of loose tacking suggest a fake or replaced liner?
Is it not uncommon to find berets missing the loose tacking?
Looking forward to your reply,
Thanks in advance,
Mike
