New & Exclusive: Bascos Grande Piatto from Italy!
Yes! The 'Bascos Grande Piatto' have arrived!
These "Bascos Grande Piatto" are Italy's answer to the French Tarte, the Basque Txapeldun and the Argentinian Plato Grande, made specifically for South Pacific Berets by Italy's oldest beret manufacturer A. de Setti and you won't find these sizeable beauties anywhere else.
Large (330mm/13") diameter berets in pure new wool, fitted with satin lining and the man-made ones also used in the Bascos Francia, soft and flexible. Similar to the Plato Grandes from Argentina, these berets are lighter in weight and density compared to their French and Spanish equivalents, making these ideal wool berets for warmer weather/climates. Extremely comfortable berets and real head-turners too!
Available in black/nero, navy/blu, maroon/bordò, green/verde in a variety of sizes.
Needless to say, I have taken a few for my own use. Thanks to NZ Customs the price was so high that it's unlikely I'll re-stock these again.

Hi Daan,
ReplyDeletethis man is looking very cool with the berets! :-)
