(Maybe the "sideways badge" is like the "detergent on the windowsill")
;D

Zoomie said:What do you malcontents believe to be the "proper" beret look?
Apart from cap badge placement - do you think a trench is required?
You mean this does not say it all?Zoomie said:A CWO would have a hard time explaining to me the finer points of how to wear a beret when the 265 doesn't provide 100% guidance.
... even with the stunning graphic to clarify things?Beret. The beret shall be worn evenly on
the head, with the sweatband 2.5 cm (1 in.)
above the eyebrows, the badge centred
over the left eye, and the crown pulled
downward to the right. The break of the
sweatband shall be worn centred at the
back of the head, with no draw string
visible.

Brihard said:Berets are sized for head size, not eye separation spacing. A beret may be spaced with the cap badge above the left eye, or the break in the sweat band center in the rear, or possibly, but less likely both in exactitude.
If the physical dimensions of one's head and eyeballs dictate that the sweatband break cannot be in the exact rear of the head simultaneous with the capbadge immediately above the left eye, and neither is stated to take precedence, some ambiguity exists. I'm not quibbling, simply stating that such is the case.
Anyone not wearing a Balmorral is a lesser man anyway.
Jim Seggie said:And I agree with your premise about the beret....one size/style does not fit all and some people just look goofy in them, no matter what you do or tell them.
Now....about the Balmoral....... >
