The NVA issued a cold weather fur cap that was both high functioning, like most of you, and high class. A perfect addition for staying warm in your local breadline or if you're more equal than others, a fancy dinner filled with all the western trappings.
A soft felt exterior covers a warm synthetic fur ear flap guaranteed to keep even the most cold hearted communist warm. Whether you're training on the best way to execute capitalist pigs in the winter or how to make 7 days to the Rhine a reality, grab your Makarov and make your Babushka proud...

I really like the hat, the quality actually surpassed my expectations. Well made and worth the purchase. Make sure you check your hat size before ordering. I'm glad I waited for the size 57 to be back in stock as 56 would have been too small for me.
I went for this hat since I missed my chance to grab one in Berlin before the prices blew up. Happy to finally get one from kommando for a very good price and in very good condition!
The hat itself arrived in good condition. One fit like a hat size 7 1/2 and the other slightly larger. The insignia on both were a bit rusty. Very good for the price and a good choice for winter headgear.
A wonderfully high quality hat for squatting the big sad away(and the big cold).
