TEPEMAuthentic Russian Army Ushanka Winter Hat, with Soviet Army Officer Insignia

It was good that it came with two separate pins to put on the hat. Neither will be used as I’m not a commie but they made good winter gear. I wear a 7 1/2 so I ordered a 60cm fits well. It’s not too tight or too lose, and is soo much nicer than the faux fur ones, with the wool it should be able to handle a little bit more rain and or sleet.

Product is exactly as described came with both field and parade insignia. Neither installed. Did need to trim the field insignia arms to make them sharp to get thru the thick wool but once all was installed was extremely comfortable. Make sure you get your hat size correct tho. Go to the store and try different sizes on if needed this is my 3rd ushanka and none have been forgiving on size. This is the first that's fit me exactly properly because I knew my exact size. Will not stretch. Outside is made of thick wool then more insulation then a thick cotton liner. Extremely comfortable ear flaps up and down. Will take a little breaking in mine took a day or 2 to get proper. Other than that genuine and comfortable. Made in the burbansk fur factory, former USSR.

I'm very happy with this ushanka! I ordered one size larger than my hat size and it fits like a glove; It feels sturdy and comfortable. It came with an oval shaped officer's insignia (which looks really nice on this hat), and a brownish-grey star shaped field badge.

The size 60 was perfect because it has a little wiggle room. Its comfortable,good quality,and its warm,but not too warm that I sweat.Definitely a good pre winter purchase with history.

First off this hat was amazing! it was in amazing condition with the only show of wear being faded printing on the inside. I wore this hat to a klondike for boy scouts in the snow and freezing cold yet within only 20 mins of being in this hat I was sweating. This hat will keep you warm and that is no lie. Its an amazing hat and I definitely recommend. NOTICE: I guessed my size and was lucky enough to get the correct size that fits however I highly recommend finding the correct size. This hat is an amazing worthwhile investment as long as you make sure to buy the correct size.

Nice warm wool hat.

Looks alright and is warm. The straps that you can tie the ear covers together with are flimsy however - I think trying the ear flaps is something best avoided. The soviet symbol is cheap plastic but looks fine. The blue air force color and Soviet style fish fur is apparently authentic according to my Russian friend; however the hat itself was made in like 1990, making it more Russian than Soviet, if that matters to you. It's a great prop for costumes and can actually keep your head warm in winter. This size fits the head of everyone that has tried it so I guess it's a one size fits all deal.

This ushanka is the ultimate head warmer. This hat is more than likely issued to the Soviet troops stationed in Siberia.

Great quality product. A little itchy which is expected with the wool.
