Among the world's top-quality berets, the Japanese made Flamingos are among the very best.

There are a number of beret manufacturers in Japan, all typically providing excellent work, but only Flamingo berets are handmade; dyed with the blessed groundwater of Mount Aso; slow dried in sunlight and the whole manufacturing process integrated in one company. The company's base is Uki City in Kumamoto Prefecture, looking out over Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan.

Flamingo Berets come in a range of models; in cotton and pure merino wool; with and without lining and in the most intense, beautiful naturally dyed colours.
