Although it will stretch with wear, we would recommend going at least two sizes larger than your actual European hat size when selecting the marked size for your ushanka.
Some call it a military hat which is incorrect: this is actually a popular civilian model of the Soviet / Russian military ushanka. It’s in made of much finer materials than its military counterpart. The faux fur is attractive and soft; it looks very much like rabbit fur but far more durable than natural fur, won’t shed. The quilted lining provides additional protection from the sub-freezing temperatures.
The hat is in
BRAND NEW
factory fresh condition, complete with a manufacturer’s label saying “Made in Belarus” (former Soviet republic of Belorussia or “White Russia”). The hat was made at the same factory that produced fur hats during the Soviet era. It was manufactured specifically for import to Russia, so it’s not surprising the label is in Russian language.
This hat is both a fashion statement and practical winter gear.
Some people even choose to wear it for downhill skiing although we doubt it will provide enough protection in a fall or collision, and we wouldn’t recommend using it in lieu of the proper ski helmet.
How to measure your head
Wrap a measuring tape around head, 1.5 cm (5/8 in.) above eyebrows and ears.
