Be honest, you own a beret don't you?

The silence of french posters in this thread is DEAFENING

British people

at one point in time, back when I was 12, I owned a blue fedora

There are more Spanish people who own and wear berets than French people.

no
I have never worn a hat, except for the sun at summer camps
I don't like them

Oui!

i own a gun, a baret, a small knife, a makeshaft claw a hung body that could strike the head clean off a man's shoulder

In Brittany you see Parisian tourists and waiters/shopkeepers wear the striped shirts but the Beret is something I've never seen

>>211788973
The beret is originally northern spanish / basque.

>>211789138
I know, that's what I mean. There more Spanish Basques than French Basques and French Basques are more Francized.

>>211788517 (OP)
If you see someone under 80 with a béret you can be sure they're a tourist.

Originally it wasn't even Basque but Aragonese, although you could just call it Pyrenaic in general.

>>211788517 (OP)
nope, and I think moustaches look ugly

I don't know why people associate us with berets. It's neither particularly french nor did it stand the test of time any longer in France than anywhere else

Many other Europeans also wore berets. The military beret for example is British. And just like every other hat that people wore back then it also fell out of fashion in the middle of the last century.

I remember seeing a video with Englishmen giving their opinions on French people and talking about how the French were wearing ridiculous hats, and the videos would show an old man with an English flat cap. lmao
I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a beret in my life. You'd see literally any sort of hat before seeing a beret here

thats a goddamn shame, Bruce

>>211788959
I uploaded pictures of myself literally tipping a fedora to Facebook back around 2007/2008.

>>211791034
this. berets is mostly a military thing, i had one as part of my uniform, it didnt make me french. if i was to think of a french head thingy it would be the kepi cap but thats also a military thing i guess?

>>211791215
yes

>>211791215
the kepi is military yes but it has nothing to do with berets. I think it descends from the hungarian shako

My world view is shattered.
>>211791034
British took the beret from the French tho.

>>211792095
no, the military beret is literally british. They were used by british paratroopers in WW2. The french adopted it from the british while they were creating their own paras, as well as pretty much everything else that pertained to paras as much of post ww2 warfare here was adopted from the british

>>211792190
I think its basque

>>211792245
it's actually ultimately from the Béarn. but I'm not talking about the beret itself, I'm talking about the military beret

i don't but i unironically bought this eu flag hat after a youtuber wore it
next step i will wear it in russia or usa

>>211791215
>>211792190

>have to show up at monday lineup at camp without beret and explain why i dont have one

>>211791061
Okay Bruce, you got me. My real name is Jacques Jean-Pierre, i wear a beret with a white and black striped shirt, I have a moustache that I twirl every day and a little souI patch shaped into a triangle.
I wake up every day at 12, drink two cups of black coffee while reading the newspaper, occasionally saying Sacrebleu and c'est la vie. I then go to the eiffel tower factory on my bicycle, but not before making a stop at the bakery where I get two baguettes and a croissant.
When at work, I drink more black coffee and flirt outrageously with every woman and get into heated arguments with every man on independent films in black and white and existential philosophy. I eat a raw onion for lunch and head home at 2 in the afternoon. Then I drink a glass of red wine and fall asleep on the couch.

>>211788517 (OP)
I can't bought one, i'm fucking broke

>>211792190
My worldview is shattered. Next you'll say French don't actually eat baguette and "baguette" is actually German.

>>211792716
bro...

>>211792716
it's "i am fucking break" fucking esl

>>211792812
I'm talking about the military beret

>>211788814
