Peaked Cap: for people who don't dare to wear a beret

Gauchos con Boina (2)
Some of the best pictures of beret wearers come from the South American pampas. Gauchos from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay widely adopted the beret, or boina as their preferred (and most practical) headgear.
Whether cotton berets from Argeninean manufacturer Bonigor SA and the Fabrica Nacional in Uruguay (the 3 top pictures),
or the merino version in small diameter Italian style, or Plato Grandes and Txapelduns, Argentinean and Spanish made.
Daan Kolthoff is a writer, living between the hills of Wellington, New Zealand and, when not writing, meditating or walking the hills, he is usually researching, reading about or ordering berets from around the world.
