Back in the day (1980's) I use to wear a black beret all the time. It was a common item worn by members of a rather large motorcycle cub that I use to ride with.

During the 90's I use to wear a "Roger's Rangers" green beret, converted into a clan bonnet (I'll add image later...photobucket is off-line for maintenance ).

Haven't worn one in years, unless you count a Balmoral
