Hi,

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a beret larger than 62?

Thanks

You would usually need to request a special measure by quoting NSN 8405-99-1278137 on your uniform order form and then attend a Tailors Parade at your parent station.

As you appear to be Air Scouts I’m not sure how your kitting works. Other option would be to contact a military tailor/hatter direct, but that might cost you a few quid.

As Scouts, we don’t have central kit. We source from where we can.

I was just checking to see if anyone had a recommended supplier or could even do a ‘friendly favour’ nudge nudge wink wink. I currently have a 61 which was biggest we could get but even with the ribbon out, it looks like it just sitting on my head rather than fitting properly.

Thanks for your reply

Jonathan
