Headpiece:
The shape of the Beret Display headpiece is specifically designed to act as a template that forms your beret to US Army and US Air Force dress and appearance regulations. Additionally, the orientation of the headpiece provides symmetrical structure. Given that military berets always have the excess material draped over the right side of the beret, we slightly offset the headpiece to the left. This allows the beret to appear completely centered when placed on the display. The end result of these two features is a perfectly shaped beret.
Fit:
The Beret Display headpiece is designed to provide the optimal fit for your military beret. This is accomplished by using either a Small/Medium or Large/XLarge headpiece. Depending on your beret size, a thin or a thick sizing strip may be required to further customize the optimal fit.
Sizing Strips:
The Beret Display sizing strips are made of a compressible neoprene rubber. Each sizing strip has a strong adhesive on one side that adheres the strip to the Beret Display headpiece. The other side of the strip possesses a grip like texture that holds the beret’s headband in place.
Base:
The base of the Beret Display is handcrafted using an African Mahogany hardwood. After shaping the wood we stain it with a gunstock finish and clear coat the final product for protection. Each piece of wood is individually selected based on its strength, color, and unique grain pattern. The mahogany will darken slightly over time which adds additional character to each display. Due to these unique characteristics, no two Beret Displays are exactly the same.
