With its brim of approximately 27 cm, its viscose inner lining, and its comfort band, it offers a traditional silhouette that is easy to wear every day, by both men and women.

An authentic beret made in the Basque Country

The Béret Basica Elosegui is manufactured in the Spanish Basque Country, a region intimately linked to the history and craft of beret-making.

It retains the characteristic elements of the authentic Basque beret: its round felted wool brim, its supple silhouette, and its small cabillou placed at the center of the beret.

More than a simple fashion accessory, the Basque beret is part of a genuine cultural and hatmaking heritage of the Pyrenees.

Elosegui: beret maker since 1856

Founded in 1856, the house of Elosegui is one of the historic manufacturers of the Basque beret.

Established in the Spanish Basque Country, it has perpetuated a craft dedicated to this iconic headwear for several generations.

The Basica represents an excellent entry point into the Elosegui world: merino wool, a genuine Basque shape, and an excellent balance between tradition, comfort, and price.

100% merino wool: softness and warmth

The Béret Basica is made from 100% merino wool, a natural fiber particularly appreciated for its softness, comfort, and thermal properties.

Felted wool also gives the beret its characteristic suppleness. It allows you to easily shape the brim to adapt the drape of the beret to the desired style.

Its viscose inner lining provides an additional finish and improves comfort against the head.

A traditional brim of approximately 27 cm

The brim diameter plays an important role in the appearance of a Basque beret.

With its brim of approximately 27 cm, the Basica offers a balanced volume corresponding to a traditional silhouette that is easy to wear.

This diameter allows you to wear the beret relatively straight or to work the wool more to one side for a more pronounced drape.

How to wear the Béret Basque Basica?

The Basque beret can be worn in many ways. For a traditional look, position it relatively straight on the head. For a more pronounced style, tilt the brim slightly to one side.

Black is also one of the easiest colors to wear. It pairs naturally with a coat, a wool jacket, a trench coat, a Breton stripe top, or a more contemporary outfit.

The Basque beret is no longer reserved for traditional wardrobes: it fits perfectly into an urban, casual, retro, or elegant wardrobe.

A Basque beret for men and women

The Béret Basica Elosegui is a unisex model. Its traditional shape suits both men and women.

For men, it pairs easily with a coat, a jacket, a wool sweater, or a casual outfit.

For women, it can be paired with a trench coat, a coat, a jacket, or a dress to add a timeless and elegant touch to the silhouette.
