To measure your head size you will need a flexible measuring tape.  Place the tape around your head with the tape just above the top of your ears, wrap the tape around head making sure the tape lies just above your occipital bone (the small bump in the middle of the back of the head), do not pull the tape too tightly. Repeat this two or three times to make sure the measurement is accurate. Genuine ATC beret.

Fitting your RAF Air Cadet Beret

The RAF Air Cadets beret is to be worn with the band horizontal cross the head and 1 inch (2.5cm) above the eyebrows. The Air Cadets badge must be above the left eye and must not be obscured when viewed from the front.

Before you wear your beret for the first time it needs to be shaped. To do this put a little cold water in the bath and hot water in the sink. Without getting the leather band wet, alternatively immerse the beret in the hot and cold water. In between each hot and cold cycle put the beret on your head, holding the badge and pulling the excel material towards your right ear. After several attempts it should be the right shape. If you can, wear the beret until it dries, so it moulds to the shape of your head.
