A genuine Basque beret made in France
The Laulhère Basque Beret is entirely made in France. The house masters the various steps required to craft this iconic headwear, from working the wool to the interior finishes.
This French manufacturing is one of the model's main strengths and helps preserve a hat-making heritage historically associated with the Pyrenees.
Choosing this model means opting for a Made in France Basque beret crafted by a house specialized in this style for several generations.
Laulhère: a reference in French berets
The Laulhère house is one of the great names in French berets.
Based at the foot of the Pyrenees, it perpetuates a traditional craftsmanship while offering different crown sizes, levels of finish and collections.
This model is an excellent introduction to the Laulhère universe: it offers French manufacturing, fine merino wool and the traditional characteristics of the genuine Basque beret.
100% merino wool: softness and comfort
The beret is made from 100% merino wool.
This natural material is particularly appreciated for its softness, warmth and ability to remain comfortable during extended wear.
The felting of the wool also allows the crown to remain supple and to be shaped according to the way you wish to wear your beret.
A water-repellent beret suited to everyday wear
The wool of this model benefits from a water-repellent treatment.
Water droplets thus tend to slide off the material rather than immediately penetrating the felt. This characteristic makes the beret particularly practical for everyday use.
As with any wool headwear, it is advisable to let it dry naturally after significant exposure to moisture.
A traditional crown of 27 to 28 cm
The crown diameter directly influences the style and volume of a Basque beret.
With its approximately 27 to 28 cm, this model corresponds to a versatile traditional diameter, suited to both new wearers and enthusiasts accustomed to the Basque beret.
It provides enough material to create a nice drape to the side without reaching the more generous volume of the larger Campan berets.
A comfortable interior finish
The Laulhère Basque Beret has an acetate inner lining as well as a salpa headband.
These elements enhance its comfort and give it a more traditional finish than a beret with no inner lining at all.
How to wear the Laulhère Basque Beret?
The Basque beret can be worn in several ways.
For a traditional look, position it straight around the head, then gently work the crown to one side.
For a more contemporary style, you can also wear it slightly towards the back or accentuate the tilt further.
Its black color pairs easily with:
- a wool coat;
- a trench coat;
- a tweed jacket;
- a Breton striped top;
- a wool sweater;
- a leather jacket;
- a casual chic outfit.
A Basque beret for men and women
The Laulhère Basque Beret is a naturally unisex headwear.
Its timeless shape suits both a masculine and feminine wardrobe and can be worn in a traditional, elegant, vintage or contemporary style.
