RussianOrnamentsHat Russian Soviet Army Special Winter Fur Military Ushanka WH Size

when the winter gets cold, it works out fine. but ya get a lot of questions about the Russian star.

This has to be one of the coolest items on Amazon. My family visited Prague last winter and the temp never got above 15 degrees fahrenheit the whole time we were there. My Texas mother-in-law made a comment how it sure would be nice to have one of those old Russian/Soviet style hats when it was 5 degrees one day. Note to self. When we returned to the states, MIL's birthday rolled around in October. Time to buy a (as I found out on Amazon) ushanka. I had my father-in-law measure her melon and I took the advice of other proud ushanka owners and ordered the next size up. Mother-in-law would have been fine with the size on the sizing chart. Just like the other reviewers, the package took about a month to arrive, so be patient, it will get there. FIL and MIL took a long look at the package from Russia and my FIL made my MIL open the package on the porch so as not to spill any old-style Soviet ideology on their carpet. Took MIL a minute or two to figure out what it was and was thrilled with the hat and the attached hammer and sickle medallion. The hat has generated buzz here in Texas and my parents-in-law had their picture taken with the white ushanka and a black ushanka my father-in-law already had in the closet and put self-same pic on their Christmas card. They also enjoyed getting their included kopek coin. This is an awesome item for a gift to someone you love including yourself. We plan on getting four more for next winter.

I had purchased this identical hat two years ago. This is labeled the same size but doesn't come down enough from the top and feels like it will fall off.

I really do love my Ushanka, its very warm and made with good material, the emblems are pretty hard to get on though, I ha to use a butcher knife and push a hole threw the middle for it, otherwise, its a great hat :) i'll probably get one for my boyfriend :)

I like it but its very big and i have an average size to smaller head. Lots of hats are big on me but this one was huge. Its nice tho...very soft

I highly recommend this product. its unique in the sense that there is no too many of those outside Russia. And the white color its even unusual to see in other countries. Its definitely a magnet for others, I had many compliments wearing it. However, I recommend to never ever wash it on the washing machine, it will definitely ruin it. Mine shrank and lose the frame, its king of floppy now.

it's kind of super fake

the hat that i bought from someone else was expensive then i found this for half of the other price. i have two of these and they are warm and soft. if your looking for a real russian hat this is the one. the pin was on the hat when i got it and dont take it off its just a pain in the ass to get back on but over all amazing.
