Mil-Tec Soviet Military Shapka Hat Brown

This Mil-TecA® Shapka is a warm, functional reproduction of the classic ushankas seen worn by Soviet Union and other Eastern European troops, security personnel, and members of the official bureaucratic apparatus. Warm padding up top combined with long, general ear flaps down the sides to keep you entirely free from the vicious bite of Old Man Winter. Cool U.S.S.R. hammer and sickle insignia. The fur on this Shapka looks similar to rabbit, but it's really a mass-produced synthetic. Interestingly enough, original Soviet versions also featured a very similar synthetic fur, which quickly became known as "fish fur" by the regular users of these hats. So if anyone asks you what kind of fur you're wearing, the correct answer is always "fish." Padded thermal warmth Synthetic fur Large, generous ear flaps wear up or down Reproduction Soviet insignia on front
