I was fortunate enough to get an original felt blue beret. It is a real beret. My husband, Tim, found one on-line and won the bid at the last minute!
The hats that the IBT and others are currently wearing are a lighter blue cotton twill material and they don't exactly have the shape of a real beret.
If there is any possibility of getting a real beret back, or perhaps a patch that can be purchased separatley, I think it would be wonderful. I do love Wally's original 'safari' hat, as well. I don't think that the 'military-style' coats do anything for the club. They represent an unaproachable aura. But, the original berets are nostalgic and historical, and really do represent a world-class travel appearance that is both intriguing and identifiable.
Very friendly.
Please let us know what you find out!!!!
