Logistik Unicorp Berets?

[392]

Historically, I've purchased all my berets through Canex or other third party suppliers since cash sales went the way of the dodo. As it's that time again for a new beret, I'm looking at expending some of my points that replaced my clothing allowance.

Do the berets through Logistik have huge amounts of material to them, or are they the short versions per the 3rd party vendors?

They are "belgium type" berets now, and don't seem to have lots of material like the old "mod tent" ones.....

 

[Eye In The Sky]

Agree with NS.  I've used to buy my black berets from kit shops but have been using the AF blue ones from Logistik now for several years and find them pretty good overall.

The berets are better then they used to be, but IMO the green colour they use isn't great - I liked the kitshop/Canex colour better.

 

[bick]

Have to agree  The color isn't nearly as good as the kitshop/Canex variety.

They do have the distinct advantage of being free and, with a little work, look not half bad.

Am I the only one that had a dyslexic brain fart and read this as "...Unicorn Beret"?

Back on track - had Logistik beret - a couple years old, seams to have held up pretty well...not as good as an imported Belgique one, but still doing decently.

It is a very good beret.  I would not recommend spending your own money because you are not going to get better.

Been spending my own money on berets since I stopped wearing the leather rimmed behemoths back in the mid-90's


It's good to hear they're worth getting. Off to order one

I've ordered one and found it was too thick and too dark for my taste. A 10$ beret from the R22eR kitshop is a better investment for me; especially in the time it takes to form it.
