testimonials
Öner Çatalpinar, director of Barettentoko
"During my time in the Dutch military I first got acquainted with the well known “small” beret of Plein Ciel and at the end of the 90s I was passing it on within my own surroundings. Now many years down the line I’ve become the director of Barettentoko and the aim of my sales has now increasingly become a mission to provide all military staff in the Netherlands with Plein Ciel’s “’small” beret. What is exceptional about Plein Ciel’s berets is their specific smaller shape, which makes the military staff member look well put together and adds to an expression of convincing prevalence. A Plein Ciel beret can be spotted from a considerable distance, a trademark which can be recognized in a larger context in the Netherlands. In addition to the military this beret is sold within several other disciplines in the Security and Safety domain.
I am very pleased with the cooperation that Plein Ciel and the Barettentoko have ventured into and look forward to a nice and constructive collaboration."
Lt Col Gareth Morris, Royal Tank Regiment, British Army.
"Since I hosted our affiliated regiment, the 501st Tank Regiment, when they visited the Royal Tank Regiment in the UK in 2014, I have always worn a Plein Ciel black beret. The Royal Tank Regiment has worn the black beret since King George V approved it for tank uniform regulations on March 5, 1924. Plein Ciel continues to produce the best NATO berets, undoubtedly a merino wool product that lasts for decades of service and for future generations. It requires minimal maintenance or reshaping. I cannot recommend them enough... Fear Naught."
Raphael Doussau, Troupes de Montagne
"Always ready, always willing
From the peaks of the Alps to the Malian desert
From the Champs-Élysées to the Arctic cold,
It’s a beret made in France that we love to wear"
Louis-Jean, Troupes de Montagne
"The Plein Ciel beret is comfortable to wear, practical, and durable. It accompanies me both on missions and in the mountains."
