Anyone of you removed the inner layer of the beret ( the water proof cloth )? I did coz thats the only way to 'season' my beret but if during raining, my hair will be wet.

i won't recommend that. i think it's a silly idea. Confused

molgax SG

silly idea i haf seen ppl do that for jockey caps

i wonder why jockey caps are called jockey caps ?

do they look like what jockeys wear ?

i see no resemblance

Hellraiza SG

Not really. I did that with my beret. Gives it a sharper look.

Yeah, I cut out the inner lining as well. Firstly, season faster, 2ndly, shape nicer, 3rdly, doesn't feel so tight.

One thing about berets, getting one that is too loose really looks bad. It should be a "just-fit" thing.

After took out the inner lining for my jockey cap n jungle hat as well. Gave it my own "water-proof" treatment. A little wax at the top. You'll see the water drop just roll off. Of course, don't put too much, it might turn a lil white... then ppl will start wondering what u do to ur head dress.... Embarassed

Gordonator SG

yes i agree. majority of the people are size 7. buying too big a size will make one look like a mushroom. Laughing

generally beret will shrink when comes in contract with water, so try not to get them too wet.

Any idea how to season beret properly? Most people would just put it under some heavy objects to season.

From wad I know, you can iron the Beret too. Someone even suggested to me that the beret be starched to give a nice crisp look. There is even those that suggest soaking the beret in water for 15mins and dry it, after that seasoning it. Any one here as a god way to seaons a beret?

Joshua1975 SG

is there a need to??? it takes time, as long you put on and dun look like a kuku it fine... season???? try ajimonoto... just joking.

Gordonator SG

never ever soak the beret in water. it will shrink.

i don't see the need to purposely want to season the beret using any methods. if u carry it with u whenever u go and wear it often, it will be seasoned very soon.

Shotgun SG

Iron, then stack under heavy object for a week or two.
