You could be confused by the prospect of this hat at first — why would you need a ushanka in a hot desert? Well the Dutch realized something that us Midwesterners do - badlands and deserts can get quite cold.

The hat is a form factor that the Elmer Fudds of the world will already know and love — an insulated with a deployable brim, and ear flaps that wrap around the back of your head and chin with a soft layer of synthetic fur. The advantage of the fur besides being ultra comfy is that when surrounding your face it disperses harsh wind. Obviously, by not having a constant torrent of that dastardly air on your face and in your eyes, it keeps you much more warm and comfortable.

Live in an area where it doesn't snow? Desert camo patterns may also help you blend in more to the dry grassy environment during the wintertime. It's surprising that the Dutch of all people had this figured out...

 

Specs
  • Genuine Dutch Army Issue
  • 3-Color desert pattern, very close but slightly different from it's American cousins.
  • 65/35 Cotton Poly construction, Wool and modacrylic lining (synthetic fur)
  • 'Ushanka' style flaps can be fastened on top of the hat for mild days and fastened around the chin for the cold
  • Brim can be popped into an upright position with a smaller brim underneath for ease of use with scopes

 

Sizing

For sizing, measure the circumference of your head in centimeters. From what we've found these hats are pretty spot on to their size, and are very forgiving for sizes.

Condition

Ushankas are in new condition.

Warm

As described, fit a bit tight

The inner ear flaps cover the top of the ears and are surprisingly warm

The visor is effective

This hat is effective in cold (well not as cold as America’s wind tunnel🥶) windy weather

Extremely Durable (like a soldier), but Consider Sizing Up or Measuring Your Head Before Purchasing. Possibly a Great Gift for a Vegan/Animal Activist?

Theo Von, (an American comedian) has stated possibly MANY times that the Dutch people are extremely aerodynamic. Their road infrastructure and culture depends on bicycles for transportation. Aerodynamics are important for cycling in order to make a commute less tiring and time consuming.

I am not “skinny” nor am I a “long boi.” I actually look very feminine and have an extremely small head. The smallest size left a mark and cut off circulation to my head. Hats tend to not fit my head because of how small it is, so I chose the smallest size available without measuring, and assuming it would fit me.

This Ushanka was put through extreme abuse and still looks good as new. No seams were stretched or torn. I would like to clarify that this hat was not physically assaulted or verbally degraded. Hat stretching te qu'iniques were used. Ex. boiling a pot of steaming water and stretching a hat over it, and then allowing the hat to dry overnight while being stretched around the pot. This was done numerous times. It was also dry stretched over a pot. It was also steamed and then soaked and then put over my head while using a blow dryer to mold it to my head.

These are real hat stretching te qu'iniques. This Ishanka was capable of handling it like a soldier. It survived through this distress. No seams were stretched, torn, etc. Seriously good as new. Even the faux fur. Makes a great gift for vegans/animal activists since the fur is not sourced from an animal.
