Soviet soldier insignia




Authentic Soviet soldier Ushanka winter hat. Unissued surplus.
Made in USSR before 1991!

This winter hat was made for Soviet soldiers to keep their heads warm even during the coldest days of Siberian winters.
There are three layers of materials to achieve the utmost in warmth for the coolest temps:
The wool top of these hats adds extra warmth and acts as water resistant shell. The nature of the fabric is such that it very slowly absorbs moisture, and once wet it becomes almost impenetrable to water. When it gets wet, it does not let moister in, therefore even when it was raining, a Soviet Army soldier's head stayed dry and warm.
The super warm, soft, artificial fur keeps the ears and neck warm.
The interlining is filled with cotton felt.
Never worn - unissued official military stock.
Manufactured mid / late 1980s.
For your convenience insignia will come unattached to the hat.

        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, Hunter 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. Unlike many cheap knock-offs and offers of Ushanka "style" hats, our hats are top quality genuine products made in Russia or Belarus from the highest quality locally manufactured materials only!
