An ushanka winter hat can be stretched one size larger without damage.
Please note: following the instructions below does not affect or void our return policy.
How to stretch your ushanka:
-
Lightly spray the inside of the hat with water, focusing on the inner band and lining that sit around your head.
-
Pull the ear flaps down.
-
Pull the hat over a slightly larger object, such as a kitchen pot, bowl, or a similar sturdy item.
-
Allow the hat to dry completely.
There is a short two minute video that shows how to choose the right object for stretching.
Drying usually takes a few hours. Once all moisture is gone, remove the hat from the object. The hat should now be stretched to the next size without any damage.
If needed, this process can be repeated to achieve a better fit.
If you have any questions or experience any issues during the process, please email us and we will be happy to help and advise.
