Hey Guys,
I can't find my Maroon Beret, I have ordered a replacement but haven't seen anything yet.
Does anybody have a spare one for Sunday, Yith has very kindly offered me a Para Helmet, but could do with a Beret for the drill photos. MY head size is 65cm, I believe that might be 7,1/2 size.
Cheers,
W
7½" is 60cm webby - I don't one spare, sorry
yeah 65cm is "bloaty head" size! Max I've ever seen is 63cm
Full of knowledge! 
65 is only a rough measurement around my head, it was using a metal tape measure, so its likely to be smaller! 
I keep finding with WW2 headwear it's pot-luck whether it fits, regardless of what the label says. Blummin annoying...
Crumbs, even Gadge's head isn't 65cm! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

everytime i open this sub-forum, i keep reading this thread as 'bert' too. 
Webby... I have borrowed a beret from Syd for you... though it may be a bit small... we'll see tomorrow.
Got my replacement Beret today, currently sowing on the ox and bucks badge provided by Yith
Look good dont they!

Yeah! I'm just a bit worried that it'll come off, sewing wool to wool isnt the strongest, especially when its a heavy badge. Might re-do it by sewing the card backing to the leather tab on the inside of the beret liner.
EDIT: Damn its actually plastic!
I would have thought it'd be fine sewn through the felt only.
I cut a slit in the actual beret, and fed the plastic disc in through the hole, its now hanging on there by itself without moving so jobs a bad'un! hehe
You'll want to sew it on as well.
