Army enlisted man ushanka fur hat, ORIGINAL Soviet issue, dated between the late 1970s and late 1980s.
In gray wool pile with cotton liner. Comes with an original Soviet-era hat badge. Size 58 (US 7 1/4). The liner shows a factory stamp with year of production and the size.

If you are buying one to wear at events and not just to add to your collection: some have found that with determined stretching (perhaps over a block of wood or using an actual hat stretching device - such gizmos do exist) plus a lot of daily wear these surplus ushankas may expand about a size. Some of our customers also reported effectively using a soccer ball for the same purpose.

Excellent,

Excellent, unissued condition. The fur may show some minor storage age but the hat has no moth bites or mildew problems.

Please note: The hat shown in our photographs is a sample. If you decide to purchase one, you will receive a hat of equal condition selected for you from our inventory.
