Bundeswehr beret at ASMC

Original BW berets, used models and branded berets

BW Berets are part of a soldier’s uniform and instantly show unit affiliation. The ASMC range includes original Bundeswehr berets, used models, as well as branded berets like the Commando Beret from Plein Ciel or NfD. All berets are durable, functional, and ready for action.

What types of berets are there?

The color of a BW beret signals the branch of service:

• Green – Infantry

• Bordeaux red – Paratroopers and Army Aviators

• Black – Armored Troops

• Coral red – Military Police and Signal Corps

• Navy blue – Officer Cadets

• Olive – Homeland Defense

Besides classic berets, there are also commando berets. These were originally developed for special forces, differ by their smaller cut and tighter fit, and offer a different wearing comfort compared to conventional berets. They are not part of the standard issue but are often worn by soldiers from all branches.

What is a beret made of?

A BW beret is made from high-quality wool felt. Drawstrings, ventilation eyelets, reinforced sections for badges, and sweatbands ensure a secure fit and high comfort – even during extended missions or official events.

How is a beret worn?

Berets are worn with a matching beret badge that clearly indicates unit affiliation. The badge is firmly attached to the beret and highlights both belonging and esprit de corps.
