The Beret....

[dankenstien88]

A beret is a soft, round, flat-crowned hat, usually of woven, hand-knitted wool, crocheted cotton, wool felt, or acrylic fibre. Beret-like headwear has been worn across Europe since pre-Roman times. Mass production began in 19th century France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, countries with which it remains associated. Berets are worn as part of the uniform of many military and police units worldwide, as well as by other organizations.






Notable beret wearers include but are not limited to :




Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

John Lennon

Sam Kinison

Andre 3000

What are NTs thoughts on the beret ?

How do you feel about beret wearers ?

Would you wear a beret yourself ?

Should NT do its part in bringing this statement back to the forefront of fashion ?

Sidebar... If anyone reading this doesn't know about tupacs upbringing and his connections to the black panthers and other pro-black organizations that were disbanded in the COINTELPRO days, I suggest you look into it. Interesting stuff.

Rastafarians[edit]
Adherents of the Rastafari movement often wear a very large knitted or crocheted black beret with red, gold, and green circles atop their dreadlocks. The style is often erroneously called a kufi, after the skullcap known as kufune. They consider the beret and dreadlocks to be symbols of the biblical covenant of God with his chosen people, the "black Israelites".[

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beret

The rastacap (sometimes spelled rastahcap or rastercap,[citation needed] depending upon local patois) is a tall, round, usually crocheted[citation needed] cap, which is often brightly coloured. It is most commonly associated with the pat[clarification needed] as a way for Rastafarians (Rastas) and others with dreadlocks to tuck their locks away, but may be worn for various reasons by Rastas and non-Rastas. The cap is worn mostly by men.[citation needed] It is sometimes erroneously referred to as a "Tam" (or "tam"), a different kind of hat that was loosely ancestral to the rastacap. Other Caribbean-islander terms for the rastacap include rastafar (sometimes with a silent terminal -r), toppa[h] and simply cap or hat

TAM = Tam O'Shanter (often abbreviated TOS or Tam) is a 19th-century nickname for the traditional Scottish bonnet worn by men. It is named after Tam o' Shanter, the eponymous hero of the poem by Robert Burns

[leannsupreme]

I wear one.













But only cause it's for work. I wouldn't be caught wearing one if I'm not in uniform. You also look silly in a beret if you don't form it properly cause then it just looks like a chef's hat...
