1) Inserting of crest:
For the crest, insert it through the cardboard part of the beret. There are ready-made holes already in the beret (although not very visible) so just slot it through. You'll realize that it is quite snug and fits perfectly so you only need to insert the pin.
* common mistake: don't put the crest through the eye rings part. Put it through the cardboard part of the beret. You'll realize that if the crest is slotted through the eye rings part it is quite loose even with the pin on which is an indication that it is wrong.
2) Removing the eye rings.
Use a pair of scissors to remove the eyes rings. Be careful and try not to cut onto the cloth of the beret.
* sorry if it is not really visible but the eye rings when removed most probably should look like this.
3) Folding of beret:
The crest should be on the right side, not on the left side when the beret is folded. When folding the beret it should not cover the crest (LOL but mine got covered a bit :p )
For the back of the beret, (pic 1 and pic 2) take as much as you can and fold it downwards. It should look like (pic 3)

4) Putting beret under something heavy:
In order to season beret properly please put it under heavy books or mattress (especially the thick kind of mattress). It takes about agar agar 1-2 months for it to season completely so please place it under the heavy objects immediately after parade each week.
*Have fun seasoning ✌*
PS: gentle reminder, pls rmb to stitch the knot of the beret in by next parade :)
