Berets of this type are commonly seen in both garrison duty and ceremonial functions across all Army branches, except for select units that wear berets in other colors. Size 7 1/2 is a larger sizing, suitable for individuals with a head circumference of approximately 23 1/2 inches. This item reflects official US Army uniform standards.
