Soviet Army Officer Sheepskin Fur Winter Hat Ushanka Russian Arctic Circle

Description: Arctic Circle Soviet Officer Authentic Mouton Ushanka. Authentic, extremely rare original Soviet Army officer sheepskin ushanka, with longer length ear-flaps. These hats were worn by officers of the Soviet Army, who served in cold - northern areas, usually inside the Arctic Circle. Relatively few people live north of the Arctic Circle due to the Arctic climate. The three largest communities above the Arctic Circle are in Russia: Murmansk (population 325,100), Norilsk (135,000), and Vorkuta (85,000). These ushanka hats were manufactured in Soviet Union and dated 1980's. New surplus stock. For your convenience an insignia (as pictured) will come unattached to the hat. Please note: Size 55 is a stretched size 54. Sizes 57 and 58 are stretched from size 56. We use a professional stretching machine, which easily and causing no damage makes hats larger. Ushanka hat interlining construction Interlining is an extra layer of lining to add warmth and insulation to an ushanka hat. It is sewn to the lining itself before the lining is attached to the hat. The construction of the top of our winter hats allows your head to breathe, but keeps the warmth in!

An Ushanka (also known as Trapper hat, Bomber hat, Shapka, Chapka etc.) is a traditional, yet stylish, Russian winter hat with ear flaps, which is extremely warm to handle the frigid Russian winters. It has ear flaps, which can be folded up and tied at the top of the hat, or tied at the chin. Wearing ear flaps down protects ears, bottom of the chin, nape and top of the back of the neck from the cold. The word ushanka translates from Russian as "with ears". Ushi means ears in Russian language. Throughout history, old fashioned Russian Ushanka has inspired various other hat styles, such as Trapper, Bomber brand hats or Aviator hats. Numerous other winter hats with earflaps, spawned by the original Ushanka style, are common in the countries of the former USSR, China, North Korea, Eastern Europe and others.
