The Biggest News in South Pacific Berets' History!

Painter, author, poet, photographer, film maker, singer and guitarist Billy Childish is one of today’s foremost and prolific artists and, following a long tradition in the arts, Billy’s choice of headgear is typically the Basque beret, as evidenced in many of his paintings, woodcut prints and at live performances.
I have long admired Childish’s work and am incredibly proud to have teamed up with Billy to create a line of beautiful Fear Naught Beretsfor Worker, Artist & Artisan.
These mid-weight berets come in four earthy colours: raven; indigo; moss and russet, fitted with the Chyldish – Fear Naught woven label and a traditional British beret lining in pure cotton.
These berets are made in a limited edition at 90 berets per colour in three diameters: 27, 30 and the 31.5cm Super Foulard. Each beret comes with a numbered certificate at $54.50 - 57.50.
Much more information on Billy Childish can be found here; original artworks can be seen and bought here.

  1. Now a proud owner of one of these berets. Beautifully crafted and fits perfectly after following the instructions provided from Daan. Will be a permanent fixture on my head for the next few months no doubt.
