I have traveld many times to Italy and I have to say that I often find Italian workmanship and products to be of a very high quality.

After a while it does get pretty sickening but you get used to it. SpAnish bounds I can see - I get mine from Ronny Greer here in Seattle - but Italians pushing boinas now? I think not!! I have tried that Spanish torrefacto coffee and it is a superior blend, yet nowhere to be found here since, again, flooded with Italian crap. My mom buys it from latienda.com<br /><br />Cheers 2 all and I hope to see u all at beretfest this July 5th in Seattle, washingtons commox park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-21556637587929309982011-06-21T05:47:43.215+12:002011-06-21T05:47:43.215+12:00Well, I'm both italian and jew, I'm kind o...Well, I'm both italian and jew, I'm kind of used to this :)<br />The funny thing is that italians are actually completely in love with Spain and everything spanish, go figure.<br />Not thta this is going to change because of some guy who takes his legitimate national pride a little too seriously.<br />By the way, I'll follow the advice and try Torefacto coffee :)<br />Ciao!!<br /> your affectionate reader from Italy,<br />PaoloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-51505101332648629742011-06-16T13:54:26.099+12:002011-06-16T13:54:26.099+12:00These comments sound very similar to those from a ...These comments sound very similar to those from a Spanish-Canadian who used to comment under his own name... <br />Utter nonsense of course, from someone who obviously never had the pleasure of driving a Lancia, ride a Ducati, has no appreciation for (art)- history, cinema and traditional espresso (among so much more).<br />I continue to be amazed how many comments I get that are either racist, sexist or staunchly nationalistic in nature. <br />And as for berets, quality comes in all sort of ways; the Basco Roma is among the highest when you look for a light, easy-to-wear beret that follows a great and long tradition!Beret And Boinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547349500135165830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-75347052736438255132011-06-15T11:48:49.332+12:002011-06-15T11:48:49.332+12:00I'm quite surprised actually because the major...I'm quite surprised actually because the majority of what Italy produces is crap!<br />The only legit Basque beret is the Elosegui brand and i wouldn't wear an Italian beret if my life depended on it - WAKE UP people and smell the Spanish coffee (Italian espresso is crap too by the way, you need to drink the Spanish Torefacto coffee instead). Sometimes i wonder HOW & WHY the whitey world got sooooo brainwashed by Italian crap? I guess it's because Italy pushes it's crap harder on others than anybody else lol,loollll.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
