Russian style ear flap hats are also known as Ushanka hats or Trooper Hats. A Ushanka is a fur hat with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown or back of the hat, or tied at the chin to protect the ears from the cold. Our Russian Style Ushanka hats / Trooper hats feature a wide body, flat top, extra long fur ear flaps, and a wide front fur brim. The ear flaps can be worn down for a trendy casual look or tied up at the top or back for a classic Russian style look. Choose a Russian hat from one of many fur types and sheepskin types. Choose the popular Full Fur Russian hat style or the fur with leather/suede style, which we call the Trooper Hat.
The Russian Ushanka in the English-speaking world, it is sometimes referred to as a shapka. However, this usage is not accurate, but is rather a Russian language word meaning simply 'hat'. Ushanka literally translates as 'ear flaps hat'.
Though ushanka hats are a distinctly Russian hat, indeed, the stereotypical Russian is seen to wear one. The wearing of fur hats of similar design is common throughout China, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is possible that Russians adopted this design from Mongols during the Middle Age Mongol invasion of Russia.
Russian hats are often made from rabbit fur and muskrat fur, though other animal fur, such as beaver fur or coyote fur, are not uncommon for Russian hats, with particularly fine examples being made of mink fur, raccoon fur or high-quality sheepskin.
The increasing worldwide demand for Russian style fur hats has prompted us to make it a priority to offer them in a wide variety of designs using a variety of fur, leather, and sheepskin choices.

"This is a big Christmas gift that my grandson asked for. We looked in all the stores and did a lot of research to find one of such high quality and so well made. It arrived within 10 days and is as nice as I hoped it would be. He’ll be thrilled! Well worth the price and it will last forever."

"Very impressed with this hat so far. I had one years ago that my dog chewed and it was really warm. We had some abnormally cold days early in the season here and I decided to replace the original with the grey rabbit fur model. The new hat is better built than the old one (that I also got from fur hat world). The fur is softer, the liner is better and the straps that now tie the flaps are leather-a really nice touch and needed. It came within a week of ordering."

"I ordered this hat for my 17-year-old son and he loves it! Shipping was very fast. We got the hat in 2 days. Since we are in the middle of Canada Post and everything was delayed, This is a nice change. UPS is the way to go. The hat is well made and looks and feels very warm. We are waiting for the temperature to drop to try out."

"Very warm. Tie flaps around back of head for the sharpest look, I think. Careful brushing with a boars bristle, lookin good!! With the bill half way down keeps the sun out, keeps the rain and snow off too. With the bill all the way down and you're set fore sleeping in freezing weather. I just ordered a second one in less than two years. Read on........ I left my hat "out" on the mantle of a fireplace at a birthday party for an 18 year old. A 10 year old boy was seen pulling the beautiful guard hairs out of the bill while making the sound of a cat screeching. Seriously, this is a beautiful hat and can be destroyed by ill will."

Top quality and it provides that value for money feeling straight out of the box. (Parcel) Yet to use in anger (winter is coming to plagiarise) but trying it on and testing it out so far i’m Confident it shall do the job it’s been designed for."
