I found these pictures on an Ebay listing and unfortunately, the information provided was completely inaccurate: "Although it's stitched Australia, it is made in Spain.
Jausoro is a small town in Spain, located in the region of Basque Country where
many types of berets were manufactured".
The letter headband says "Australia", which makes me think this beret was made by Boinas Elosegui, who for a long time had "Australia" models (for the merino wool, from Australia).
Searching further, I found another Jausoro model, with a label that looks nothing like the labels usually produced by Boinas Elosegui, but with the same "Australia" text stamped into the leather headband.
Any information much appreciated!
Hello, comparing this hat with another hat I have recently seen, I believe you will find that Jausoro is the maker, Jose Antonio 33 is a street address (the street name has probably changed), and Jerez refers to what is now Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Spain. "M Gonzalez" is located where the Model name would normally be, but in this case "M Gonzalez" refers to a specific customer who always purchased his berets from this maker. The other example I refer to is marked "La Favorita", "Maximino Enguita", "Plaza Mayor 25", Madrid.
