Beret-like headwear has been worn across Europe since pre-Roman times.
Mass production began in 19th century France, Spain and Italy, countries
with which it remains associated. This classic work contains all of the
information you will require to make and finish a beret of your own.
Contents include: "How to Make a Felt Beret", "The Beret", "Beret",
"Materials", "Measurements Required", "The Beret in Strip Felt", "The
Beret from a Beret Hood", "A Velvet Beret", and "The Straw Beret". Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on
millinery.
