Am sorry to say I seem to have misplaced mine and have been beret-bereft for 
a couple of years.  I plan to get a new one in the fall.  Combined with the 
beard I now have, I figure a beret will give me a 1950s Sierra Maestra look 
that will induce people with yellow ribbons on their cars to stay the hell 
away :)
