Seamless beret is a rather practical hat that is equally suitable for men and women and can be a great addition to any ensemble of outerwear. Of course, today, as many years ago, beret is associated primarily with military uniforms . Each military unit has its own traditions of wearing berets and its own specific form of this headgear. However, it often happens that they are given out to recruits in a state resembling, rather, they don’t take it, but a pancake, a frying pan or even something shapeless. So the first test of a newly minted soldier is to take it off correctly. How this is done is of interest to many, therefore, in this article we will try to simply and intelligibly tell how to bring it back to its normal form and give it the required form.
How to beat off takes: method 1
The headgear is slightly moistened with water, placed on a flat hard surface, such as a stool, and then beat off along the edge with a hammer or an old spoon (but not aluminum) until the edge becomes thin and sharp, like arrows on trousers.
Method 2
How to recapture a beret and keep its shape for a long time? It is possible to moisten a beret before its “molding” using not water, but a sugar solution, and also, after beating, insert a special adhesive cloth, thick cardboard, plastic inside. Some even experiment with candle wax. As a result, when the beret dries, its shape will remain as you need it, much longer. The only caveat is that now it is best if you do not get in the rain, that is, it doesn’t take water, otherwise you will have to repeat the whole process again.
Method 3
If you are interested in how to recapture a beret quickly, easily and without any special devices, try to moisten the beret, use your fingers to walk along the edge several times to properly wash the edge. Then, the left part of the pellet gently stretches to achieve the desired configuration. After this, the headpiece is once again wetted with water, put on the head, where it is given the final shape. When you succeed, the beret can be carefully removed and left to dry completely.
Method 4
You still do not know how to recapture takes with the newspaper? Then remember: the old newspapers are superimposed in the moistened beret, and then with the help of hair clips, clips, clothespins and other devices at hand, it is given the necessary shape. The hat is left to dry completely, then try on. If there are any roughnesses and shortcomings, you can once again slightly moisten the product and correct the shape manually.
In essence, nothing complicated. The main thing, even before you start to beat off, is to know exactly what form you need to give it. Even if at the very beginning your headgear looks unsightly, remember that berets are made of a material that can be easily processed and molded, so you will surely succeed. And another plus of berets (ordinary hats, not military ones) is that every time you can get a practically new product, depending on how you take it back. Photos on this page confirm this.
