veteran looking for a replacement beret

[seanh2390]

Any ideas where I can purchase a rifle green beret that has a sewn-in badge backing plate? The Canex version I just received does not have the backing plate. Any help would be appreciated.

I was going to send you to the PPCLI KitShop - but they don't appear to carry berets anymore.

A google search shows Logistik carries them - based on thread here -

Thread 'Logistik now have "Belgian - Style" Beret'

12 Jun 2007

Just FYI, I just logged into Clothing Online and in my 'catalogue" they are now offering only "Belgian-style" berets in green and black, in case anybody is interested. The red and maroon are still the old style ones, but I guess they'll be replaced too. Looks like this is going to be the standard issue from now on.

I still have three berets from my service - which ended over 20 years ago, they don't really wear out when they collect dust on a shelf.

Thanks for the lead but I just checked the Logistik site and it looks like you have to be a serving member with an active service number to register (my veteran's service number did not work when I tried it).

Get what's available, then just cut a backing from a milk jug or similar. Cut a slot for whatever type of badge you're using.
