The berets made by Baschificio A. Setti have a history that goes back to 1925, the year that Alberto Setti set up business in a workshop at number 24 of the Via Fanti in Carpi, Italy. Alberto combined his commercial intuition with great technical know-how, reflected by the number of patents taken out and registered by his company. The concepts of quality control and the ongoing research to improve his products were the foundation stones of Alberto Setti's entrepreneurial philosophy - leaving a company that to this day produces some of the finest quality berets one can find.
Here, at South Pacific Berets, we stock the most famous of Italian berets: the Roma. A traditional worker's beret in a small (24cm) diameter. One of the best known adepts of this beret is, of course, Federico Fellini. The Roma is made of 100% wool and has a checked satin lining and is fitted with a headband; available in both black and navy in sizes 57, 58, 59 and 60.
The Francia is the Roma's big brother. A beret of the same quality light wool, but in a 27cm diameter with bright red lining and the embroidered Super Basque label. Available in sizes 57 - 61 @ $39.50.
