Le Béret Français: Merino d’Arles

Merino d'Arles LBF

The Bérets Merino d'Arles are natural merino berets made of undyed, natural wool of brown merino sheep from the Arles region in France. 

The Merinos d’Arles produce a light fleece of only 2 kg of very fine wool in the range between 20/21 micron with a length of 5/7cm. The particularity of the Merino d’Arles fibre is its curliness; no other wool has so many bows per centimeter. This allows very light products due to its bulkiness and lightweight. 

Whereas most Merino sheep are bred with a focus on pure white fleece, the original colour of the wool are shades between milk-white to brown and grey. Le Béret Français uses the darkest brown Merino wool to be found. 
Handmade in small batches in Bayonne, the capital of the French Basque Country. 

The new Dark Khaki d'Arles Classique is the same beret as the naturel model, but dyed in a dark khaki green.
