The sizes of berets (common size charts)

The sizes of berets

Determining the size of a beret, as of any other headwear, starts with measuring the head circumference. This measurement makes the size of a beret.

The beret’s diameter is calculated using the school formula for determining the length of a circumference. If the head circumference equals 56 (cm), then the diameter is:

d = 56/π =17.8 (cm).

The sizes of berets:

Considering the features of the beret’s fabric, such as density, texture and elasticity, the allowance that should be added to the required smaller diameter of the beret, is determined.

Important: if the fabric has stretching feature, 1-2 (cm) should be deducted from the determined diameter. If the beret is supposed to have the lining and the main used fabric is dense, then 0.5-1 (cm) should be added to the diameter.

In the classic version of berets the diameter of the upper part equals the head semi-circumference, and in the bulky version of berets it’s 3-7 (cm) bigger than usual.

The particular features for choosing a beret:

1. The model of the beret, if:

it’s until ears, then the depth of the beret equals 1/3 part of the head circumference;
it covers the half of the ear, 1-1.5 (cm) allowance is added to the beret’s depth;
it’s until the earlobe, 2-3 (cm) allowance is added to the beret’s depth.

2. Face shape.

3. Seasonality and fabric.

4. Color.
