I ordered this on a weekend so I assumed it'd take a bit longer due to business days, but it arrived within a week so the shipping wasn't that bad honestly. The hat itself fits perfectly (size 56) and isn't too tight, very comfortable. The wool on the ear-flaps are kinda itchy, but not really bad. I can live with it.
Mine was made in 1988, wish I could find the company that made it. Tried to translate it and do it that way but nothing came up, which i'm not pressed over, just curious.

This hat is extremely comfortable it feels like second pillow almost. It is also the right size! I was expecting it to be too small but its not!

This is a great winter hat and I would recommend if you need a hat for below 20 degrees and if you take interest in USSR! Overall is a Excellent hat and mine was made in 1990 also I’ve bought from here before and this is a good website to purchase from and provides great service!

Son really wanted a authentic russian military style winter hat. This site is awesome and made sizing easy to purchase shipping was quick too. think I'll be getting my husband one too thank you love it

After determining his hat size, we ordered... I was a little hesitant, as I haven't ordered anything like this online before, but I am very happy I did! My son got what he wanted for his Birthday, and (as odd as I found his request for a Russian Army Soldier Hat) I was very please with the product quality and shipping. It is a real high quality, heavy weight material and it came fast. (Just need directions for attaching the pin that came with it...) Would order again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises again.

Trustworthy, fast delivery, quality product!

Fantastic, and I’ll definitely be ordering another Ushanka from this company. Shipping was great too, no delays or egregious processing times. Product arrived exactly as described without any defects, which is quite uncommon when dealing with vintage surplus. Again, amazing company and experience would definitely recommend!

My mother ordered it for me and just came in today, and the hat is amazing it fits good and is super warm and comfortable the shipping was fast too

These hats I must say are the nicest I’ve seen on the market today being authentic Soviet made . I bought two hats and they threw in a free pair of gloves with! However one hat I received did have a hole due to age . I asked if I could return and replace it they said yes I simply put it back into the bag it came in they were really nice about return policy . Got a replacement two days after shipped back . This company is the way to go for a real one unless you live in Russia and can find one locally . But as for American market goes there amazing have been using mine already reckoned them to my friends my one friend already got himself an Arctic circle version . Thanks for an amazing product

The product was in excellent condition and arrived quickly.

This is the real deal, guys. I've bought hats from various shady sources on eBay, and ended up with one of these that was advertised as "surplus" but actually made of inferior materials, and made after the collapse of the USSR in '91. If you want an authentic one, get it from here!

The Ushanka hat quality was better than expected. I immediately placed an order for a white Ushanka for my wife who now wears hers on cold Chicago winter days. Kudos to Dimitry for his excellent help in selecting the correct model the first time around and stretching my hat for an exact fit. I am placing an order for a third hat to be given as a gift. I could not be happier with the quality and service. You can buy with total confidence form Ushanka .com

Very happy with product and delivery time

Great customer service and help with this item

Love the hat and super warm.

Quality product. Best winter hat I've ever owned. Wish you had a greater selection of hat pins.

Excellent Seller! Excellent Product! Lighting Fast Delivery! Two Thumbs Up!!! :)

Great hat, would definitely recommend getting the size 60; worth the money.

Very happy with description and item

High quality and shipped fast.

We just returned from Russia and wanted a ushanka that was more authentic than what the gift shops offered. This was exactly what we wanted and similar in price to the knock offs.

My ushanka was as advertised. It shipped fast and arrived two days earlier than expected. Terrific service!

Had a great experience even when the first shipment was incorrect. When contacted, the error was quickly and efficiently corrected and they even made sure my credit was prompt! Would use these guys again!

I purchased a Ushanka for my son. We have incredibly cold winters, and he expressed an interest in the hat. He absolutely loves his Ushanka. It fits him like a glove, and keeps him warm. I would definitely purchase another as a gift.

I have 3 ushankas and they are the best winter hats I have ever had. The service, shipping and price will keep me as a lifelong customer.

The item was sent the next day after order and arrive the Friday before Christmas. It was nice to know that the size can be easily adjusted, which I had too and doesn't affect returns

Great hat even tells you how to resize it if its too small or large. Very helpful customer service.

This hat is awesome! Our son wanted one to take backpacking and joked he wanted an old soviet hat. The hat is sturdy, keeps his head warm, and is lite enough for him to carry on backpacking outings in the mountains of Washington.

Great quality product. Shipping services were earlier than expected which is pretty cool.

Hat is come in good condition and if you wet your hat you will have a smaller size.

love this hat top quality, very warm, looks great, I am buying another too gift too a friend.

order arrived promptly, product is excellent quality, fit is perfect

Excellent service, 2nd order.

Nice hat. I even got an extra small grey insignia.

Everything was perfect, from the communication with the vendor, the product, and the delivery.

I'm going to buy again in case I lose mine. It is awesome. I'm from interior Alaska and have tested mine to 30 below zero with no windshield on my snow mobile. Love it.

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He loved it!!! Exactly what he wanted and arrived on time! Thank you. Would order from again!

Great product and fast delivery!

Quick and prompt delivery. These are super heavy duty genuine wool hats....the real deal. Very surprised about the high quality and low price!

Fits snugly, though the pins (I got two, the one you see in the picture and a very small copper star) are quite hard to mount. There's no specified hole for you to mount it through. I suggest measuring down the exact center of the top flap and then very gently sliding a scissor blade through it. Then mount the pins through the hole.

Excellent quality very well constructed but fits tight

High quality item from a high quality seller.

I received this Ushanka within days of ordering it... something of a miracle itself considering where I live (northern Minnesota), and how long everything seems to take to arrive. Sure enough, the day I picked it up, we had our first snow storm of the year... blowing wind and ice crystals.. this hat kept me toasty warm. A total success story, performs as described. Thank you Ushanka!

Everything and more than I expected.

Seller shipped fast! Pay attention to sellers instructions on size measurement!

Excellent, very snug! The insignia is a challenge to push through the front without bending.

Excellent, very snug! The insignia is a challenge to push through the front without bending.

Item arrived promptly and in great condition. Exactly as described. Would buy again.

I love to have accepted its a little too small. Next time I order a hat like this I will get a bigger size, they do run very small

Classic design, was as described sz 60 and new old military surplus. Smells like cosmoline, Volgograd, and Nazi tears.

Good fit. Warm,wish I had ordered it at the beginning of this winter in stead of the end.

My son loves this hat! Wonderful, wonderful company to deal with. We received the wrong hat the first time. They were very helpful and courteous to work with. Hope to shop with them again.

Excellent seller a pleasure to do business, super fast delivery, many thanks

All was fine. Packet arrived very fast and in excellent condition. The hat is absolutely EXCELLENT. I have no claims with this seller.

The item came fast, it was a little tight, however I easily adjusted it to the proper size

We had the hat in a flash. Perfect!

Came quicker than I thought. Product is as advertised. Hat was a little tight, but the website showed how to fix problem. Thanks!

I bought this for my teen son. He says it is very warm and not itchy. He is very happy with it.

Impressed by the trapper hat. It has some weight to it and good craftsmanship.

The Ushanka came a week early, and only took 4 days to get here. The hat it's self was great and kept me warm during the cold weather down here.

The Ushanka I bought came within three to four days after purchase. The quality of the hat is superior to any other I've previously owned and was the perfect fit! Best of all, Dmitry's hospitality made it easy to get the information I needed about any questions I threw at him! Thanks for everything!!

Received the Soviet army surplus ushanka hat with 2 original cap badges. Lovely hat very heavy and very warm, not cold enough to wear yet so actually looking forward to winter this year. Service from this seller is great and I would recommend highly. Would deal with seller again. Many thanks.

Received hat on time. Hat size was a little small but with sizing hints included I got it to fit.

Much better quality than I had expected. My son just loves it!

Came a day earlier than expected, item was as described, overall great product. Hope to buy more soon!

Fast shipping. The hat is exactly what we ordered and my son is very happy with his item.

I love this hat! After a week of single digit temperatures I decided I needed a warmer hat. I ordered it on a Friday & received it the following Monday. My new hat is toasty warm & comfortable. The quality is excellent. Thanks so much for an excellent product & great service!

Great seller. I got the hat faster than expected and it was exactly as described. I am very glad with my purchase and I would buy from them again!

Although the star was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, the ushunka is great! It is warm, comfortable, and fits well

Good job, fast shipping, item as described.

I just have to say the ushanka I ordered from you IS AMAZING! I wear it everyday, and many people have been asking me about it, commenting about it, and where they could order one. I just said "ushanka.com is the place to go to get one ." If I ever want to order another or recommend one, I know to always order from ushanka.com. Thanks again!

Quick service.. hat is authentic and awesome! Very satisfied customer!

They did a pretty darn good job. Quick, easy, and it arrived before expected in great condition.

Item arrive verry quickly and fit perfectly. Great hat as well i wear it all the time.

Fast shipping, arrived just as described. Thanks!

The ushanka arrived quickly and was exactly what my son was looking for. It had a very musty smell, but I'm sure it was from storage. Not a huge deal

Hey guys at the Ushanka Team! I just want to thank you for making it possible to own such a nice hat. I bought, well actually one of your cheapest hats! And im just so overwhelmed. Quality is great!
Regards,

Hi Ushanka team!
Thanks for my Ushanka! I am very happy with it! It's comfortable and very good looking. I cannot thank you enough. I bless your business and hope it holds you well!

I just received my ushanka today and I am more than pleased with the quality! I've wanted one for so long and I was pleased to see my younger sister bring me the package at 8 in the morning XD. Its very comfy and I love the insignia, I'm going to use it for ski camping and my journey to the UK next summer (proper side of the globe), and many more cold places. Thank you for your polite service. Hope to buy again soon.

hey, I just received my ushanka today and it fits perfect! I’m completely happy with your services and products. I will definitely recommend your company to others. and you can count on me, if I ever buy a winter hat, that I will buy from you. I also love your free shipping thing, that sure is nice! I wish the best of luck to you and your company. Thank you!

Howdy. I received yesterday a military Ushanka that I purchased off the web. It took me a few hours to trawl through the web to purchase one and most of the suppliers advised that they were all original, which I doubted, as I presumed that they would have copied the original design and made them either in China or Mexico Yours arrived and I was very impressed with the quality and manufacture of the item and as far as I can tell it appears to be the real deal. I do need to purchase another one shortly for a friend in Australia which I will do, however I just wanted to send you an e-mail to advise how impressed I was with the delivery and quality of your product, so well done
Thanking you

Very Pleased: Great hat, perfect condition, shipped very fast. Great Seller!

I won’t look anywhere else from now on to buy ushankas. I really like your web site. It’s simple and easy. The next one's I want to get is the grey color rabbit fur, "Like on the front page of the website" and probably one of the synthetic fur soldier one's like I see all the guys in the Army wearing. I thank you for your help and your time. keep up the good work! I’m looking forward to getting another ushanka from you. Take care. Dobrei Nochi.
