TacMaster Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 As long as you shape it properly and don't run around with a floppy stores-fresh unshaped one then you won't look like a complete knobber
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 19, 2014 Supporters Posted May 19, 2014 essentially, as long as you don't end up looking like this tool you'll be fine: CaptainSwoop, Rabwolves, The Leprechaun! and 1 other 4
Mike636 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I didn't know you were part of the WAFU master race, or if I did I had forgotten! Still a sprog mind. Better a sprog than a dabber
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 19, 2014 Supporters Posted May 19, 2014 hey, stewards need heroes! besides, I'm only half a dabber, got a FAA cap tally and everything!

jeffery7466 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 What about white beret? It would be quite distinctive.
CaptainSwoop Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Ex Merchant Navy crew that served on Arctic Convoys wear the White beret. it's a rare sight at Armistice Day parades.
Mr Monkey Nuts Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Do you see Samuel L Jackson and think "pufft I be he never completed his basic training"? No you don't, you think "Bad Motherlover" So long as you don't attach any insignia or metalwork to it and wear it properly non one is going to care. Do you worry the same about imitating servicemens camo patterns?

Do you worry the same about imitating servicemens camo patterns? Good point but then again it's just standard practical wear. Berets I felt are much more personal. My stepdad served with the fusiliers and went mental when I was young and tried his on (for the record he's not a nutter, at far as a stepparent goes anyway lol). It's why I started the post just to ensure I don't get a slap, like Mr Super Army Soldier in the previous post will probably get. At least we have our own badge (my profile pic) so that's a start.

You could be a bit indie and see if you can get your team's logo created in cap badge form? I reckon that'd be pretty cool either in alloys or in plastic
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 20, 2014 Supporters Posted May 20, 2014 or just fabric with a stiff plastic backer, wouldn't be the first to do it that way. that said, a beret is a really impractical hat for fighting in so you'd probably be better off with some embroidered caps or similar.
CaptainSwoop Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Beret for drinking Tea when you have a break. Rabwolves 1
Russe11 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Could get some pink helmet covers made to match the berets?
CaptainSwoop Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I do not wish to know anything about your pink helmet! Bottledtorment 1
