These
Baskenmütze (German for 'Basque beret') are made in the historical hatters town
of Luckenwalde, in the former G.D.R. It was here that, in 1923, Jewish architect
Erich Mendelsohn erected the Herrmann hat factory, a milestone of Expressionist
architecture.
Luckenwalde's hat making history dates back to the 17th century.
T hese berets are a Franco-German
co-production: the plain hoods, consisting of pure merino wool, come from
France and are then modified, lined, "head-banded" and finished in
Germany.
The
Baskenmütze Classic is, as the name implies, a classic Basque Beret in 27.5cm
diameter. Artisan production, perfect finishing and fitted with a very pleasant
viscose lining. A most comfortable beret available in Black and Navy, sizes 57 - 61.
