This beret is constructed from maroon wool, a color traditionally linked to parachute and airborne forces within the French military. The interior is lined and features an attached sweatband, providing both comfort and durability during use. Included on the front is the official Parachute Command badge, which is typically made of metal and signifies the wearer’s association with French Air Force airborne command units.
