Berets are worn in many armies from all around the world and are commonly associated with elite groups such as the SAS. Our range of genuine military berets, side caps (garrison caps) and vintage replicas are great for cadets, formal dress, reenactments and collectors.

Add a beret or side cap to your wardrobe and step back in time. Whether you need a party costume or want to add a stylish touch to your outfit, purchase a genuine beret from years gone by. Shop our range to find a German, Soviet, or Romanian-issued beret hat to add to your collection. Each beret hat features a wool upper, soft cotton inner and leather headband for maximum warmth and comfort.
Where did berets first originate?
European people have been wearing berets since the Bronze age. In the 1700s, military groups began to add berets to their uniform. If you’re looking for a specific colour of beret, Army & Outdoors has a wide range in stock, from classic khaki green to blue and black.
