BERET problems, are on the top of my mind

I wear a beret at Fairs, so folks will know I'm an artist. {rare at a fair}, That's my uniform. I'm not saying that's ALL I wear. My beret is wool. It can get hot in the summer. I don't like to be hot headed, so look for options. I had a mesh one, but lost it. Couldn't find similar on line. I get berets from John Helmer co. They have an oversized french beret I wear. They say another model is fine gauge cotton. I got it in time for Brooklyn fair. I don't wish to berate the beret, but not as cool as I had hoped. Plus, it was a bit tight. I remembered a trick. Yank on the hem, every few inches. It worked... too well. Now it was loose. I tried putting some double sided velcro in the hep, but it wouldn't stick. I can't win. I joked with another vendor that my only hope was to garner lots of compliments, so my head would swell.
That would be a swell solution!
