How do i attach a new badge to a new beret?
Secondly how do i wear this thing if its brand new? Season it to shape i know but what shape do i follow.
Poke 2 holes in the beret using sharp scissors or any sharp objects so that you can put the badge in.
Brand new of course no shape, what I did when I was in the army was to put the beret under my bed when I sleep every night. Of course you fold it in the desired shape then put it under the bed. Of course, don't have to be under the bed, any heavy objects to press the beret into the nice shape is ok too.
Washing the beret also helps soften it.
Cutting the inner cloth also soften the beret, making it look seasoned, but not recommended.
It takes a while for the beret to be seasoned.
One way is to put under your pillow and sleep on it.
Thanks bros but im trying to ask why do u put it under the pillow. That flattens it how does that season it to a shape. The beret i just bought is just brand new and has no shape. What shape do i need to follow to attach the pin in the correct position and wear it properly. Whats the general shape
To look at the general shape of a seasoned beret, you can refer to this page:

you could put it in a ziplock back and ask your dad to park his car on it, nothing really works better than that

What if my father no car?
How do i get it into that shape? Its so stiff and some parts of the beret wont fold where i want it to.
