Description
Our WW2 British Beret came in Khaki and was worn by British Officers and the Reconnaissance Corps throughout World War II. These particular berets feature the 'large crown' style, true to the original design produced during the Second World War. Sourced from the esteemed 'Firmin & Sons, this company was established in 1655 and appointed to the Royal Household as accessories, insignia and button manufacturers. This was worn as it was smarter in appearance than the general service cap. Make sure to double-check your head circumference before purchasing.
These are a must-have for any WW2 British Officer impression or reconnaissance corps.
