Vintage French "Ibarroa Béret de Luxe" Wool Beret — Leather Sweatband, Red Piping

Up for sale is a genuine vintage French beret from maker Ibarroa, labeled "Béret de Luxe" — a premium-grade beret from the Basque region of France, historically the center of traditional French beret craftsmanship.

Details:

• Black wool felt beret with a structured, flatter crown shape
• Genuine leather sweatband trimmed in red piping, with red and cream striped grosgrain lining
• Woven label reads "Marque Déposée / Ibarroa / Béret de Luxe" with a decorative heraldic crest (fleur-de-lis, lion rampant)
• The leather band and red piping give this a military/uniform-style look, distinct from a soft casual beret — possibly worn as part of a dress or service uniform (gendarme, military, or similar); no regiment or unit markings are visible
• Estimated mid-20th century based on construction and label style
• From a family collection — believed vintage, unworn in recent decades

Condition:
Preowned vintage condition. Please examine all photos closely, as this is an estimated-age item and I am not a professional appraiser. Shows honest age — please zoom in on photos for the best assessment of wear to the wool, leather band, and lining.
