Hoquy Beret

The Hoquy Beret is certainly not 'hoke' (these words are homonyms i.e. they are pronounced the same). In fact, Hoquys are very hip; this top-of-the-line beret is made by a 200 year-old family-owned French company in a workshop near the Pyrenees. The label reads 'Beret de Luxe, HOQUY, Impermeable, Pure Laine, Fabrique en France'. Lined and with a sweat band. I just returned (02/21/00) from a weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area where it rained most of the weekend. My Hoquy Beret served me very well--it kept me dry, feeling very fashion-wise for SF and packing away nicely in my pocket when the sun would sneak through. Hoquy's run slightly large. (State your headsize in the instructions box in the shopping cart and we will do our best to hand pick your hat.) Note: This is the same beret you may have seen for sale in the New Yorker Magazine (and other online sites) for $58.
