At this point, I’m wondering if there is enough of a quantity of raspberry berets in secondhand stores to identify the kind you would find in one.

    Because of the song, any raspberry berets in stores would now immediately get bought and then resold online for 10x the price

    Or more likely it would go missing from the donated goods pile, and then get resold online

    Technically, a military surplus store could be considered a second hand store. What militaries use berets that could be considered “raspberry” in colour?

    Floppy, brightly-colored berets were popular in the late 60s and early 70s. I am unfortunately old enough to remember seeing some of them on the street, at school, on TV, etc. The character “Rerun”, played by Fred Berry on the show “What’s Happening!!”, wore a red one.
