On SPECIAL this week, the Hispano Basque berets in Bleu de France.

On SPECIAL this week, the Hispano Basque berets in Bleu de France.
Three varieties: Basque berets with and without headband and berets in the military style.
Bleu de France (Blue of France) is a colour traditionally used to represent France. Blue has been used in the heraldry of the French monarchy since at least the 12th century, with the golden fleurs-de-lis of the kings always set on a blue (heraldic "azure") background.
A brighter version, based on the blue of the French Tricolour, is used in modern times, particularly in a sporting context. French national teams in all sports will normally use blue as their main colour. Blue is France's national racing colour and several French motorsport teams have used it, including Alpine, Bugatti, Peugeot and Voisin.
Former French car manufacturer Saviem only used this colour for their vans and trucks; hence the colour is often named "Saviem-Blue". 
On Special for for as long as stock lasts, but be quick - some models will sell out fast at prices between $25.00 and $32.50
