Black is the military beret colour that crosses most naturally between its original military context and the artistic and fashion traditions that adopted the beret throughout the twentieth century. Where red and green carry more specific heritage associations, black reads across all of them simultaneously and adds an urban directness that the coloured versions do not possess.
Handcrafted from 100% premium wool in black with the standard military beret construction. The flat circular crown drapes correctly to one side when worn and the small stub at the centre front maintains the authentic silhouette. Available in sizes S to XL covering 57 to 60cm plus.
Black wool military beret pairs with every outfit combination in the autumn and winter wardrobe, which makes it the foundational beret investment across all wearing contexts: outdoor, urban, creative, formal-adjacent, and casual.
