About our Trooper Hats

Russian fur flap hats are also known as Ushanka hats. A Ushanka is a Russian fur hat with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the hat or tied at the chin to protect the ears from the cold. 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, North Korea, 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.

"I just got my hat. Very impressed with it and I've always wanted a Russian army winter hat. I look forward to this coming winter since I plan on putting it to good use. The hat looks better on me with the ear flaps down and feels more comfortable that way. I like hats and most of the time I wear a cowboy hat. This is a hat that I can wear on the winter days we have in WV when it's snowing with gusty winds. Thank you winter style"
