Depending on regiment or corps Brit berets get shrunk by plunging between hot n cold water repeatedly then drying and shaping until the flap does not cover the top of the ear (it stops just at the top of the ear), Then remove plastic lining (some remove the fabric inner liner as well) and sew the flap down. Often a plastic stiffener is fitted inside the beret to support the cap badge. Great to see how our American cousins do it.
FK ,Keepn it straight on the side. Mines tilted,an I like it... America only nation to have unit insignia an flash over wrong eye... 11b,bay bee till I die.
Why a man which descendes as a part of landing party is known as "paratrooper"(why it is a short from parachute trooper), and why the beret is a maroone coloured? Only you spill blood? I thought people, bravada of which is sky associated must have sky-associated colour, but no. Weird.
The Maroon colour was chosen by British army in WW2 for its airborne divisions then copied by everyone else. Just as the US special forces copied the Green Beret from UK Commandos of WW2.
Major General Frederick Brownings wife Daphne du Maurier picked the colour Maroon and it was first worn in November 1942 by the British Parachute Regiment during the North Africa campaign......... ; ) "Wahai Mohammed"
Hey Airborne, you missed a step.
- Get Flash sown on
- Cut the excess cardboard around the Flash
- Reform the beret
AATW! LET'S GO
Something you never forget, especially when you get your wings! Qual'd in 1995! AIRBORNE!
Bringing back a lot of memories from Benning, Bragg and JBER.
Completely forgot this when I got my beret today so thank you!
Reenactor of 82nd Airborne, 2/505th. Thanks, very helpful especially from an actual paratrooper.
Best video on the topic I've seen so far
Also some British berets have lining so its important to cut out the inside liner and hot water helps the shape
Airborne All THE WAY!
Should'nt that be Airbourne ALL THE WAY DOWN? :)
my husband is ex-South African national defense force and his beret still holds its shape
Quick and straight to the point. Love it! :)

Thank you sir
Thanks you for this tutorial !
Hey sir we are completely surrounded by legs . No problem son we are AIRBORNE😊😊
All the way!
Good one
What you want is a British beret. Honestly the long ski-slope flap is soooo obsolete. Otherwise very good video and smart beret. Top job.
Well done
Best way how to do
Did the air borne just say be careful with a flame ahaha America 🏴
Why are there non-airborne soldiers in airborne units? I remember seeing tons of legs wearing airborne berets.

@@andrewcombe8907 That is correct, I do know that. I simply ask what was the logic beihind it in the first hand?
@@andrewcombe8907allegedly Paratroopers earned the Maroon beret after saving British Paras

@@ScoopDogg I understand the historical logic, but not the moment logic. Why he decided to selected this colour?
Im sorry but the American way of styling and wearing the beret is cringe.
British way is superior
Show us
You guys have tiny berets
Cope
Nothing about Britain is superior. 1-0 bozo
Naaa each nation does things their own way, respect to all western forces, The Brits and FFL wear the berets the coolest and sexiest though.
Gay
Female paratroopers.........not.
