An Ushanka (also known as Trapper hat, Aviator hat, Shapka, Chapka etc.) is a traditional, yet stylish, Russian winter hat with ear flaps, which is extremely warm to handle the frigid Russian winters. It has ear flaps, which can be folded up and tied at the top of the hat, or tied at the chin. Wearing ear flaps down protects ears, bottom of the chin, nape and top of the back of the neck from the cold. The word ushanka translates from Russian as “with ears”. Ushi means ears in Russian language.

Throughout history, old fashioned Russian Ushanka has inspired various other hat styles, such as Trapper, Bomber® brand hats or Aviator hats. Numerous other winter hats with earflaps, spawned by the original Ushanka style, are common in the countries of the former USSR, China, North Korea, Eastern Europe and others. Unlike many cheap knock-offs and offers of Ushanka “style” hats, our hats are top quality genuine products made in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus from the highest quality locally manufactured materials only!

Ushankas worn by the Russian and former Soviet soldiers were often made from artificial fur. Army officer Ushanka hats are made from mouton or sheepskin (lambskin).
Rabbit, arctic fox, mink, muskrat and many other types of fur can be used for manufacturing non-military winter hat models.
