SIBERHATRussian Soviet Army Air Force Fur Military Winter Ushanka Hat GR Size XL

Looks very sharp and fits well, and its well made to boot. I have a black one of these and wanted a gray one to match my gray wool jacket and coat. This fits the bill. From experience, I know these genuine Russian Ushankas keep your head warm and look very sharp. I get compliments all the time and asked where I got it from,,,,and now I have a gray one. The poor imitations of this hat made here in the states cannot compare.LikesVery sharp lookingFits wellKeeps your head warmEar flaps fold downDislikesfaux fur, but you get what you pay for. Still keeps your head warm

Received my ushanka in the mail today and am thrilled to wear it out in the winter this year! As advised by other reviewers, it's recommended to order a size up if you have thick voluminous hair so your head can breathe ~ I expect it'll keep your head and ear(flaps)s really warm, which is perfect for being out in colder weather. The dark gray looks really nice against my black hair and tan skin without making me look too washed out, overall I'm in love and can NOT wait to try it out.Good stitching and excellent craftsmanship.Bolshoe spasibo Vlad & RTI Trade team! :)

Of course you can't expect anything less from people who experience Siberian winters all the time. These people know what they are talking about! I bought this a couple of years ago and got to use it on below zero temperatures and let me tell you, my ears were sweating while my travel companions' ears were falling off from frosbite. Took a while for the product to arrive but it was worth the wait. I followed the advise of one previous reviewer and ordered one size bigger than the one stated in their guide and it fit my head nicely. I chose the gray because the black one seems very common and the white one will easily get dirty. Wearing this will make you want to express your love for mother russia with as much conviction as Gary Oldman had in Air Force One.

I bought this hat and I Iove it. It is the best hat I have ever owned. It is very comfortable and durable, well worth my money. I recommend anyone looking for a good ushanka get one of these. I love how it comes with instructions on how to replace or add an emblem, in case you like the hat but don't want the Soviet symbol or just want to put your own symbol on it.

since this is being shipped from Russia, I don't really mind the wait time, actually it was delivered one day before the estimated delivery date and I'm really happy about it =)it has some flaws though, in the top part, you can see the seams very clearly; I don't really mind about this, because I can fix it myself, besides, i don't want to have to return the Ushanka back to Russia and have to wait to a replacement, it's just a seam, you know, I don't really mind.And actually, it's a little bit lighter than I expected, but that's probably my computer's fault xDbesides that, everything is awesome!! it's really warm, and I love the Eagle (I had to put it myself, though, and it was a bit difficult) and the Russian coin!! I have to say that it feels softer than the black one I already have. Also, I first purchased the black one XL and it fitted perfectly to my head (I have a huge head ._. , so I ordered this XL too, but it's a little bit bigger.. I'm not complaining though, just saying =)and a valuable advice: no matter how cold it is, take your Ushanka off when you walk into any business, and make sure the owner/employees are not Romanian, or you could have a really bad time ._. (already happened to me with the black Ushanka)

Got lots of compliments on the Hat. I love it.

Excellent quality. Perfect fit. Very attractive and stylish, (and WARM)! I have received multiple compliments on this item.Two metal Soviet badges are included, (unattached), for those who might wish to wear them on the hat. I do not, given the bloody atrocities perpetrated by the U.S.S.R. throughout the Twentieth Century, and the fact that I was a member of the Berlin Brigade during the Cold War, but others might certainly legitimately choose to wear these accessories.I highly recommend this item!!

The hat is very warm.I do think it is misleading to state that it is fur because it is not fur. It is a material similar to fur.The ornament was very difficult to put onto the hat and I decided after a long time of trying and fearing that the pins on each side would break off to not put it on the hat at all.It is a good hat for use when snow is falling or for casual cold days and it would simply be worn for warmth.It is not a hat that I will wear for dress occasions. The actual fox fur would be appropriate for that.It is a good hat for the price.
