Russian Winter Hat History

The Russians have been wearing hats with real animal fur earflaps for centuries. While this hat is made of faux fur, it is very reminiscent of the Russian Ushankas, an extremely warm winter hat often made of many different animal furs. More expensive models were made from Mink fur but more commonly, Ushankas would be made from the more affordable sheepskin, rabbit, or muskrat furs. Enjoy the timeless style, and more importantly, unrivaled warmth, of the Ushanka style with this military-grade faux fur. Fun fact: in Russia, faux fur is often referred to as “fish fur”. For the price we’re offering this extremely warm Russian Winter Hat, you simply can’t go wrong.
