It arrives pre-shaved and carries an attached USAF Flash displaying a white falcon and \"Defensor Fortis\" lettering. Eleven head sizes are available, from 6 1\/2 through 7 3\/4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Service Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Inspection Ready Beret is constructed to military service specifications, meaning the shape, finish, and flash placement meet the standards expected of active-duty wear rather than a general-purpose replica. That adherence to specification matters when the beret will be worn in formation or during formal inspection, where deviation from standard is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePre-Shaved and Inspection Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerets typically require hours of shaving and shaping before they are presentable for inspection. This beret arrives pre-shaved, eliminating that preparation step. The leather trim along the headband edge prevents the wool-nylon fabric from fraying at the rim, preserving the polished appearance over repeated wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort During Extended Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 95% wool and 5% nylon blend keeps the beret lightweight at 0.2 lb, reducing fatigue during long duty days.
