Maroon Beret with Floral Tapestry Braid. The 1 inch braid on this hat is woven cotton with pinks, greens and purple and a touch of yellow on black background. This is a nice quality heavy braid. This hat is hand made from 200 weight polar fleece from Malden Mills and measures 10 inches across the top circle. It can be worn draped off to one side or to the back. Berets with braided bands have limited stretch. They have a small piece of elastic in the back to let it stretch a bit to fit most heads.
