Black French Beret
Our berets come in one size (56–58 cm) and fit most adults from 54 to 59 cm — that's roughly 95% of heads. Not sure about yours? It takes 30 seconds to check.
How to measure your head
- Grab a soft measuring tape — or a piece of string and a ruler.
- Wrap it around your head about 1 cm (½ inch) above your eyebrows and ears — right where the beret's band will sit. Keep it level and snug, but not tight.
- Note the measurement. If you used string, mark where it overlaps and measure it flat against a ruler. Measure twice for accuracy.
Size chart
| Head circumference (cm) | Head circumference (inches) | Standard hat size | Fit in our one-size beret |
|---|---|---|---|
| 54–55 cm | 21¼–21⅝″ | S | Relaxed fit — sits a touch loose, easy to slouch and style |
| 56–57 cm | 22–22½″ | M | Ideal fit — exactly what the beret is cut for |
| 58 cm | 22⅞″ | L | Comfortable fit — secure without pressure |
| 59 cm | 23¼″ | L/XL | Snug at first — wool relaxes up to 1 cm with wear |
A note on stretch & materials
- Wool (most of our berets): naturally flexible — it molds to your head and relaxes up to ~1 cm over the first few wears.
- Cotton & linen: a little structured with slight give; true to the measurements above.
- Leather & faux leather: minimal stretch — best for 54–57 cm heads.
How a beret should sit
The band rests level across your forehead, about 2–3 cm above the eyebrows, with the volume pushed to one side or back. If it leaves a mark after wearing, it's too tight; if it slides when you tilt your head, push the band slightly higher.
Still unsure? Email us at info@french-beret.com with your measurement — we'll tell you exactly how it will fit.

How to Wear a Black Wool Beret
Worn tilted slightly to one side, a black wool beret sharpens up the simplest outfit — try it with a trench in autumn or a chunky knit in winter. The wool relaxes about a centimetre over the first few wears, so it settles into a comfortable, personal fit. Prefer this shade in other styles? See the full black beret range.
Each one is made from premium wool chosen for warmth and durability, with a band that sits flat across the forehead, about two fingers above the eyebrows. Unsure on size? At 56–58 cm it suits most heads, and the wool gives a little at the top of that range.

Thick warm beret, keeps shape. I like it)) I advise
Takes pretty. I really liked the way he sits neatly on his head. I don't know if it's warm enough, as I plan to wear it in spring. Did not communicate with the seller.
Perfect, fast sending and very nice item
Corresponds to a small head
It is really the best quality mixed with a lot of hair

This hat is very very very beautiful. The texture feels nice and fits perfectly on you. I will be ordering more.
Very beautiful and perfect for winter
Excellent rich red color, takes it and sits well on the head, holds the shape
Magnificent, very good quality, exactly matchs the photo
Very happy, I will order other colors.
Everything is fine
Not bad beretta, looks good and fits for its money. Mother loves them a lot, maybe better it would be if beretta will be a little bigger, and should fit for 56-58 head size, this fits for 52-54.
Arrived quickly and it is how it is described.
I bought this for a man. It fits a man's head better than a woman's. Please take that into consideration. My male friend has long hair. The beret is not thick, but my friend is extremely happy with it. He hasn't tried washing it yet. He plans to order the same beret in more colors. It looks very good on him.
Very beautiful and fast shipping. Thank you 💛
Beautiful and high quality. 😍
They are just perfect. Really nice quality and also fast shipping. Surely going to buy more
Equal and good material. Fits cool.
