A classic beret is reliably, effortlessly and inarguably chic. From its origins in the Basque region to its adoption by the military to its status as a political symbol sported by revolutionaries, it wears its history well, remaining, above all, an icon worn by icons, from Hemingway to Picasso. Our wool incarnation in understated oatmeal is perfect for wearing with every conceivable ensemble and to everything, from evening strolls through the streets of Paris to woodland walks to unruffled idle hours in cafes poring over the papers.
