mine a few months ago and I love it! I bought a different one for me and got my girlfriend one as well!

Such an awesome hat!!
This is
my first ushanka and it is so soft and comfortable! I ordered the wrong size but caught it in time. I sent a message and they got right back to me in no time and upsized my hat (even though they were on vacation). Super friendly staff, very responsive. I hope it stays cold so I can wear it outside, but even if it warms up I'll still probably wear it!! Thank you guys!!

Truly Genuine Ushanka
The
Arctic circle Soviet Army soldier authentic Ushanka is an amazing Ushanka. I have owned it for over 3 years. It is truly made from the Soviet Union. It is very durable and keeps you very warm! This Ushanka is bound to last decades!

5 Star Ushanka!
This is
an awesome hat very very good quality. The size was perfect when measuring your head then adding 1cm to the measurement and I mean perfect. If I for any reason need to buy another ushanka I know my money will be well spent at ushanka.com. Thanks for the awesome product and the cool little Soviet insignias! It would have been super if you guys gave a sticker options because I would enjoy having a ushanka.com sticker!

I love my ushankas!
So I bought 3 ushankas. This
Police color one. Black Navy seaman and
soviet soldier. I can say they are amazing. I have had trouble knowing which one I like the most. They all came with hat pins of my choice and also old soviet currency and one came with a different pin looks like someone running and is green with Russian text on it. I enjoy those extras. That made this store even more fun having such surprise collections. I've been complemented wearing these by family and friends. I always wanted the actual Ushanka and this site has not disappointed me yet. Gives me a reason to love winter season again. It's definitely a winter dress style anyone can and should be able enjoy. The police blue definitely very nice in person I must say.

Army Officer Ushanka
Amazing purchase! Highly recommended.
The quality is great and even the insignia is very detailed.
Unfortunately there is no (military) marking size inside
the hat, I have a size 56cm which is the same I've measured before purchasing and it fits perfectly. I will soon make another order from this company, I love their products!
Ps. Thanks for the little surprise!

Las winter hat you'll ever need
I own several Ushanka but
the Soviet soldier one is on another level. Incredibly tough and warm. This is built so well you'll never need another. Ushanka.com is easily one of the best vendors I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I will definitely be doing business with them again. Unparalleled customer service.

Warm Enough for a -40 F Wind Chill!
This
sheepskin Ushanka has gotten me a lot of compliments at Church and the Office. The sheepskin is thick and incredibly warm, so much so that when New England was hit with an Arctic Wind Storm my head and face stayed warm when I was outside. I had an issue with my original order and Dmitry took excellent care of the situation. He is a blessed fellow! I highly recommended this Ushanka to all my friends at the Liturgy.

Very warm and Comfy Okay I'm already going to say
it this was really great purchase! It is very soft and fluffy and it was just the perfect size for me. It fits snuggly in my head and is made of some very nice fabric. It's stretchable (like the description said) so its easy to make it 1 or 2 inches wider if you need a bit more head space. I would give this a 10/10 if I could but I can only give it a 5/5. Overall this was an amazing purchase I would buy again.

my ushanka, it’s more comfortable than I could have imagined! When I got it and tried it on I immediately wanted to wear it for the rest of the day. This will be my go to hat this winter to keep the snow off my head, and it is definitely more stylish than a watch cap. Really quick delivery as well!

Best Ushanka I Ever HadI started wearing ushankas about 2006. I have bought them from several online vendors, businesses in Alaska (USA) and even from Canada. These ushankas (I bought
a gray and
a black one) from ushanka.com are the best in quality compared to the others I have gotten over the years. The shipping was also amazing. I ordered them the Thursday before Labor Day Weekend and I got my order on Tuesday. I will be buying from this site again when my current ones wear out.

Great ushanka, I'd buy it all over again. This has a lot more structure than you typical aviator/trapper/trooper hat. Which took me by surprise, but later enjoyed.
For my head, this sits a little higher than others I have used in the past. As such, my measurement for that part of my head is smaller so it was a little worryingly loose. There is a guide on this page on how to shrink their ushanka, which worked wonders. Regular use made it "form fit."
At the end of the day, I'd buy this all over again

Naval Officer Mouton Ushanka
So far I've ordered two ushankas,
this one as a gift, and a
Russian Police style for myself. Both I have been extremely happy with, they are so well made, just picking them up you can feel the quality of workmanship. Just as well, the insignia that gets sent with them is very good quality too. Definitely some of the best purchases I have ever made.

Another amazing Ushanka !!!
This is my second hat from this company, and I plan to acquire a couple more.
Customer service is excellent. It took 2 weeks to arrive here via USPS, which is normal for an international postal service.
The quality overall is outstanding !!! Second to none, as it is the real deal.
In your hands, the Mouton has this beautiful dark gray steel blue sheen that does not apoear in the website images. It is fantastic !!!
The sizing instructions are accurate too. In my case, as I measured exactly 62 cm and not a mm more or less, I ordered a 64 and it's perfect !!!
I received a lot of kewl compliments last winter with the dark blue Militsia ushanka, so I expect this one to be the same.

These are the best ushankas
I originally bought
a rabbit ushanka from this website about 7-8 years ago. It lasted me and kept me warm through all sorts of very harsh conditions. I lived in a canvas tent high in the mountains of Washington where at night temps were easily dropping to -25f to -30f every night for a month straight. In the winter I almost never took my hat off, I even slept with it on. I have no doubt that my hat saved my life a few times. The thing that finally did my hat in is a coyote dog puppy that I just got, he thought it was delicious. So I recently just ordered two more hats
a brown rabbit and
white sheep. I cannot recommend these hats enough. The best ushankas you can buy.

Excellent Product & Service
This hat was
my second ushanka. Being a wool frame instead of the all sheepskin like my first one, it is more comfortable when the temperatures rise a bit.
These hats are very well made and will hold up to frequent use for a long time (as in years). The service from the seller is first rate - have a question, e-mail them and you usually will have an answer in 24 hours or less. Shipping is also quick, usually a three to four day turn around from order to receiving it.
If you are looking for quality cold weather products made by people who deal with long winters and cold, this is your store!

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!
The quality and workmanship are superb. I can't believe they are selling
this for only $60.00. I have always wanted an all fur Ushanka of this quality, but could justify spending $200 for one. Whenever I wear it I always get compliments.
Definitely add .4 inch to the hat size; I did and ordered the size 64 and it fit perfectly.

Russian Navy Ushanka - wonderfully warm, and so is the service!
Only recently did I learn that these hats are called "Ushanka" in Russia and the surrounding region. I didn't really ever stop to think about what country and what period of time they came from, I just knew I wanted one! At almost 60, I almost tripped over ushanka.com, and I'm glad I did. It's clear staying warm the old fashioned way - efficient stoves and warm clothing - is part of the heritage here. I never get cold with this hat and haven't even had a chance yet to need the flaps down. But playing with it, not only does it cover your ears but the wool or fur is designed to wrap around your neck to your beard. 40% of your body heat goes out your top, so a warm head can equal survival - or perhaps evade getting sick.
The product is just part of the experience - but Dmitry provides hospitable customer service we all miss these days. Noteworthy for running a small business. Hats and Business get a strong recommendation from me!
P.S. I've put an American shield of similar design to the Soviet one on mine - it turns heads!

Karakul/leather ushanka
In my case, the owner was quick to answer my question, the item was shipped the next morning, and it arrived quickly—2 days later. The product itself appears to be very good quality and fits well (just follow the directions on how to measure your size on the website and be sure to add that extra cm, as instructed, and to go add another cm if the resulting measurement is in between sizes. I worried the hat might be a bit big if I did this but it fits really well). It seems like it will be nice and warm but I haven’t yet had an occasion to really test that out. I also recommend that you purchase this because it appears to be authentic and isn’t yet another cheap product of China. I also recommend buying directly from the seller instead of on Amazon. It will save you money and it supports what I assume is a relatively small business.

Exceptional Quality and Craftsmanship
I’ve purchased 3 of these Ushanka Rabbit Fur hats in the last year. They’re excellent quality, great craftsmanship, extremely warm in cold weather. The different ways to wear them is also a bonus. I would suggest getting 1 size larger than your actual head size, but if you like a tight fit then order your normal size. I’ve warn these in the blustery cold and windy conditions in Wyoming and was amazed at how well my head stayed warm while the rest of my body was feeling the impact of the frigid temperatures. I would totally, without hesitation recommend Ushanka hats to anyone! The price is great and shipping is fast! Quality is DEFINITELY BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Thank you Ushanka for a product the buyer can count on!

I love the wool top (wool is one of the best textiles- as far as I'm concerned). And the construction is great. I have no doubt this hat will keep my head warm in the harshest of Chicago winters.

TRADITIONAL CRAFTMANSHIP MEETS CLASSICAL RUSSIAN ELEGANCE I have always loved Ushanka hats for winter. They are practical yet sophisticated imo.
This Ushanka exceeds all expectations for me. Expertly crafted, with sound structure and a touch of heft which informs the quality of the hat. I love the look and feel of Karakul wool. It's classic Russian and I am thrilled to purchase at a reasonable price. The folks at Ushanka.com provided expedited service and it would be a privilege to purchase from them in the future.

Prompt and Hassle-Free Delivery; Warm and Functional Product!I gave
this ushanka to someone who isn't really a hat person, but who is a fan of staying warm in WI winters! It arrived promptly (consistent with what other reviewers have said) and was precisely the color, style, and material expected.
Every time we go out and he sees me adjust my earmuffs which never keep still, he offers me his ushanka for my (much smaller) head. This is his way of saying that the hat is a success. Seeing how he gets on, I may get one for myself.
In short, the ushanka come heartily recommended-- just save one for me!

When I was nine I received the militsia blue ushanka from ushanka.com (this website) for Christmas, ten years later I am a 19 year old man and I bought another because I needed enough sizes up to warrant getting another,and received it today. My ushanka from when I was a boy is still in perfect condition after 10 winters of keeping me warm through the bitter cold weather, I think its safe to say Ushanka.com sells quality authentic Slavic headwear that will last you through whatever you throw its way, while keeping you warm for years to come. Thank you Ushanka.com, for keeping me warm all these years.

I have had remarks saying that the way my hat and insignia was styled as if they were talking to a movie star. It puts them in a moment of robust and adventure. They really enjoy my presence with my
Ushanka.

Спасибо (благодарю)!
For English readers:
I have been very unhappy with seeing so many
poorly made knock-offs.
It nice to find
warm touch from home.
I hope non-russian speakers will also enjoy
fine quality hats made russian way.
Удачи (good luck)

Hello,
I purchased a hat from you all on eBay on 10/17. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. The quality of the hat has exceeded my expectations by a large margin and I can't say enough about how warm this hat is!
Thank you for offering a great product at the right price. In the world of online retail, people seem to only take the time to complain about bad experiences, so I just wanted to take the time to let you all know that my purchase from you has been an excellent experience. I wish you guys all the best and I hope you stay in business for a long time so that I can buy my next ushanka from you, when (if) this one is ready to be retired.
Sincerely,
Matt, Owasso, OK, United States

Fit perfectly...I followed your suggestion. Prompt delivery.
We have extended winters here in Idaho. My cowboy hats don't provide proper ear protection.
This Ushanka hat fills the bill perfectly. Excellent quality....much more comfortable than the faux fur which I have tried on.

In support of my sister's breast cancer journey, I shaved my hair off knowing we had a trip planned to Washington DC in January 2017. I knew a regular knit cap was not going to work for me/us. I ordered 2, one for me and one for my sister. They were great, kept our heads warm, and fit perfectly. Thank you Dmitri for all of your assistance.

Over the past few years, I have purchased several items from Ushanka. The most recent was actually a Christmas present from my wife which arrived today, a grey rabbit's fur ushanka. A beautifully made hat and extremely warm. I wore it outside late in the day, as it was 47 degrees F outdoors. It was actually too warm for this kind of weather! The sizing in the European metric is very accurate. Both this hat and the grey less expensive man made grey fur are great fits at 60 mm. Both hats are of overall great quality being the real thing made in Belarus, unlike the cheaper Asian made "wanna be's" I have bought. The historical assorted cockades are also of very good quality. Shipping is always very prompt as well.
Thank you very much to the team at Ushanka for being there as a business I can trust. A 5 star rating all the way!

Many thanks Ushanka.com, both for the
fantastic hats and the great customer service! A friend ordered a Russian hat thru Amazon after casually inquiring about my rather large head size. I told her a smaller size by accident and tried to figure out just which company Amazon used in their link. I discovered that Amazon didn't drop ship this but still wasn't sure what Russian hat to expect. To finally just keep everyone happy (including myself, and my friend blindly buying the hat) I ordered a bigger one direct from ushanka.com. Both hats have now arrived for Christmas, and both are of ushanka's import. My luck brother who was born with a regular sized head now gets a great hat too!! Win-win-win all the way around like a 'three way Gift of the Magi!!!' Now I'm looking forward to the real cold coming hopefully in January and February. Thanks again!!

my Ushanka yesterday and it's everything I hoped it would be. It's Summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but I can't wait for Autumn and Winter to come! I'm that happy with the product that I'll be buying another one for a mate of mine down in Tasmania. The only real issues that didn't bother me is that the sizes do run small, I recommend getting two sizes up. The last issue is how inefficient USPS was in delivering my product, but that has nothing to do with ushanka.com. I'm very happy and will definitely from you guys again! :)

Hi Dmitry! I just wanted to first thank you for the detailed confirmation message you sent me after I ordered.
It was appreciated since I was hoping to get
the Ushanka before a certain date (my sons birthday) and your information confirmed that it was going to make it in time.
Not many sellers do this so a big thank you for that!
Secondly I also want to thank you for selling Ushanka hats that are in excellent order!
I've bought some old stock army items in the past and some of them were badly stored and could be full of mold, or smell terrible... This didn't!
In fact it was in such a good condition that I first thought it was a fake... Which it wasn't!
My son is really happy for his Ushanka hat and if I ever need another Ushanka hat again - I will surely contact you!
Not all eBay seller are as serious as you are and I just wanted to thank you for this!

Ever since I bought
Ushanka number one I realized that I was an instant fun. These hats are the warmest things you can buy from high quality soviet craftsmanship. Not only does this appeal to those who have sympathy for the USSR but also for people that just want a stylish yet very warm winter hat. 10/10 and plan on buying again!

We are happy owners of the three shearling ushankas purchased within last two months due to the very good quality of the hats and an exceptional customer service I experienced at the site.
Black Navy style for my hubby and myself, and gray
Army ushanka for our son, all are nice and toasty warm. One thing to keep in mind: when measuring the head, keep the tape right above the eyebrows (touching the top of the brow) and not somewhere in the middle of the forehead as the size of the head in my son's case differed by 1cm and the first hat ordered was too tight! He wanted to send it back for restreching, but when Dimitry had answered the email so friendly and professionally, my son showed it to me with "wow" element of surprise and I decided to keep my son's hat and ordered him a new one(couple sizes bigger) and it is a perfect fit now. So, in my son's case, the head circumference right above the eyebrows was 59cm, we ordered gray Army issue shearling in size 61 and the fit is perfect. If you are wearing glasses/sunglasses in winter it is not a bad idea to get hat that is not too tight. Hope it helps someone, and to the business: thank you for staying above and beyond(in both quality and service!) the typical mediocrity that is swiping across too many businesses nowadays!

NOTHING SHORT OF INCREDIBLE
Just got my ushanka in today! Words cannot describe how happy I am with this product. Ever since I was 10 I've always wanted my own real fur ushanka to brave through the tough Vermont winters. Fist things first, I ordered this ushanka on Wednesday, it just arrived on early Saturday! 2 and 1/2 days to arrive! (Shipped from New York to Vermont, I even tracked the order and it went to New Hampshire first. So It jumped over Vermont then back, and still only took 2 and 1/2 days! First time seeing, feeling, and wearing this hat I fell in love! Stylish, comfortable, extremely warm and it fits perfect! I will forever be buying my ushankas from this website. The only place I could find real ushankas. I refused to buy any product not made in Russia, I wanted it to be 100% Russian ushanka and that's what this site has to offer. (and no its not just a name, the Russians really know how to do their stuff!) If I could rate this a 10 out of 5 I would have! Well done! I'll be buying a Karakul sheepskin one in the future!

This is my second Ushanka hat from Ushanka.com. My other hat is the Rabbit Fur Ushanka. I can't decide which I like best. They are both fantastic hats. The workmanship is top quality, and they both feel so soft and warm. The mouton wool is soft and smooth and the rabbit fur is fluffy and soft.
My head is large, 63 cm,and it is not easy finding hats that fit my large head. These hats fit perfectly.
I ordered the mouton wool hat on-line on New Years Day, a holiday, and the hat still arrived just 3 days later. What great service!
I live in Houston, Tx where most hats are either cowboy hats or baseball caps. I get compliments on the Ushanka hats every time I wear them. My only regret is that it does not get cold enough to wear them except for brief periods when cold fronts come through this part of Texas.
Yes, I highly recommend the Ushanka.com hats for their great service and hat quality.

Recently, when I needed a cold weather hat, I visited several local outdoors stores, but didn't see any hats that really impressed me.
I asked myself "Who would be the experts in making really warm hats?" Then it hit me! The Russians! Having visited Russia as a tourist during the winter some 30 years ago, I remembered how great their hats are.
I received my Yushanka today. Wow! It is the real deal! I bought the Russian police (militsia) MVD blue mouton ushanka hat. It is exactly as advertised. Shipping was prompt. Quality is excellent. Price is fair. What more could you ask!
Be sure to read the instructions on sizing so that you order the right size. I recommend measuring in centimeters, as that's how the hats are sized.
I am looking forward to some really cold weather! This hat is up for it. This hat makes the cheap Chinese-made junk sold to American stores look pathetic.
This is the real deal! Thanks!!!

Arctic Circle Soviet Soldiers Ushanka
Being the owner of Ushanka.com's 'Soviet Soldiers' ushanka, and knowing first hand its stellar performance in field conditions, I decided to up the ante and order the 'Arctic Circle Soviet soldiers ushanka because of the truly frigid winter extremes here in Northern Minnesota. Once again, Dmitry excelled in customer service, answered all of my questions and sent additional photos and explanation of the hat.

Got it for my husband but was disappointed that it arrived earlier than i thought . ;) He received the package because I wasn't expecting it, but luckily didn't open it.
The package was small and I wasn't sure the hat could fit in it but then the magic happened, this fluffy, great quality, the color is awesome(just like described hat) came out of it.....And now I'm jealous. Have to get one for myself and my kids .........and I will....

Naval officer mouton ushanka, genuine leather top.
I needed a warm hat for the colder months we have up here in northern England and the "Naval officer mouton ushanka - genuine leather top" does the job perfectly!
I ordered the size 61 after checking the sizing information provided on this website and I can now say it was spot on, perfect fit!
I did have a small shipping problem with USPS but the staff on ushanka.com were very helpful and my order arrived in within a week.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I would highly recommend both ushanka.com and my new ushanka I bought to family and friends.

Hello, I just wanted to write and tell you I am extremely satisfied with your products. I have ordered several hats from you and they are very warm and well fitting. Best hat anybody could ever want on a cold, windy, Nebraska winter night. I will definitely order from you again. The latest hat I ordered was made in Ukraine, which seems to be better quality, it has more back of the neck coverage and folds up more neatly than the Russian ones. I just thought I'd give you my opinion. Thank you for the great service and great hats!

The quality is outstanding and I know having purchased 1 from Christchurch via Trade me and it is very poor quality in comparison. I love this hat and can't wait for winter to return. Well worth the $112.00 NZD I paid.

I bought the first ushanka a couple of years ago, because my son was learning about WW2 in school and badly wanted one. The field soldier ushanka was fantastic and he wore it until he grew out of it. Still looks the same and friend's kid now wears it. (Wouldn't take it off first three days, slept with it!) With all the snow and cold here this year, I remembered your site and ordered the rabbit fur ushankas for both my boys this time. The order arrived today, THREE days after I ordered it in perfect condition. You should have seen the level of excitement. They're soft, they're warm, they're fluffy, they're perfect. Now my husband wants one, my Dad is hinting for one, my Mom would like one for the ladies, and what the heck, I want one too! I'll be ordering more and telling friends about you!

Thank you for your excellent service! The hat fits great and is even nicer than the ones I bought from you in the past.
I have to tell you something--even though I have suits custom-made for me in Hong Kong and get compliments on them, I have never, ever experienced what happened when I wore your ushanka a few cold days ago in Taipei City. When it gets cold here, due to the humidity, it penetrates deeply into your bones. So, I wore my new ushanka in town (live on a mountain and wear it often here). Person after person came up to me to compliment me on my ushanka! Complete strangers! I have never seen anything like it!
Thanks again!

I purchased the naval officers' ushanka with black leather and mouton. It arrived in two days, which is extremely fast handling and shipping.
I carefully measured my head several times and came up with a measurement of 24 inches, which equates to a 7 5/8 hat size. The sizing chart indicated that I should order a size 61 ushanka, but I heeded the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size 63 hat, which fits perfectly whether the ear flaps are up or down.
The naval officer's leather ushanka is beautiful, and extremely well made. The leather is pliable, yet substantial and the mouton is plush and warm. The interior of the hat is comfortable feels fantastic to the point that I can't wait to find an excuse to put it on. I've had ushanka hats from other makers, and they don't compare to this hat in any way. If you are unsure as to whether your should spend $79 on the naval officers' leather ushanka, order it with confidence and wear it with pride. Just be sure to size up a cm or two.

I have rarely, if ever, been as satisfied with an online purchase as I am with these. I have seen Canadian products at twice the price that were merely style statements. I had a feeling that I should buy ushanka made by the people that use them and these prove that right. Sizes were perfect, materials exactly as described. Ordered on Friday, arrived Monday. You deserve all the business you can handle. I will be sending some your way. Thank you for your promptness and honesty.

Common sense dictates that a person wouldn't buy that many that quickly if the hats didn't represent good value and you didn't have an excellent vendor.
That said, it can be assumed I WILL buy more soon as everyone I know seem to want one once they see them.
This is an Ushanka Invasion!

I must say gat I really love my hat, and that I have received many compliments from my friends and complete strangers! One of my teachets asked where I got my hat, and is considering getting one too! I also appreciate the extra Soviet insignia that you have given me for no extra cost. I highly reccomend everyone to buy a hat from here, and to buy your exact size.
Also, the sheepskin Ushanka's are warmer then the rabbit fur Ushanka's. Confitmed by someone who bought both the black sheepskin and rabbit fur Ushanka.

First I apologize for my poor English proficiency, on Friday received my Ushanka Rabbit Fur, I love, I must say that the quality of the product is much higher than I imagined, I bought this hat for my girlfriend, and I'm sure she'll love it, I think because of you she's going to love me a little more, given how beautiful and original product, especially in a country like mine where such clothing are rare.

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!!

This hat is fantastic, exactly what I was looking for. Ordered on Friday, shipped on Saturday, arrived on Wednesday. I was so glad to have found your company on Amazon. Thank you for providing high quality, authentic ushankas. A nice bonus was that the size I ordered happened to be an authentic Russian navy surplus hat. Very warm, great fit. I'll be ordering from you in the future.
Thanks, Dmitry!

In addition to the prompt service, they included an additional insignia badge. That was a welcomed surprise and much appreciated. Tremendous customer service.

I received my Ushanka 19 Feb 2014, fast turnaround from when I ordered it considering Monday was a holiday. When I opened the package and tried it on it fit just right for me. Didn't have a chance to wear it until yesterday 25 Feb 2014. I will be wearing it since we're going to get a cold snap the next couple of day. Great quality. Love the black one that I ordered.

After a couple of leather Navy Officer Ushankas (from elsewhere) that I wasn't too happy with, I decided to try this site. Ordered my Army Officer Ushanka -size61, which has a woolen top and straight away felt comfortable, should have ordered from here in the first place. It fits well with ears up or down whereas the leather one -size 62, was loose tied up and still too tight with ears down. This one is my current favourite hat, happy at last.

I just received my sheepskin Ushanka and am more than pleased with it. I am replacing an old rabbit fur Ushanka hat that I bought in Russia about 18 years ago. I always take testimonials with a grain of salt but I have read most of these and agree completely. Quality, price, service, and delivery are all better than I had hoped. I know people will be asking me where they can get a hat like mine and I will be glad to tell them.

I had the white faux fur for my wife and the Russian navy seaman hat for me, and couldn't be more happy, they are simply fabulous. Excellent quality and very comfy. Of course in Mexico we do not have that much cold days, ha-ha, neither too extreme temperatures, so the days that do get cold we're prompt to proudly wear our Russian treasures. The insignias are so cool that they simply catch everybody's attention. Ushanka send us the goods almost immediately after we placed the order and their attention and service was superb. I wish we could buy one hat of each model!!

Found this website looking for a good winter hat to order online, and am I glad I found this website. After being amazed by the selection, I ordered the Navy Officer Mouton Fur Hat and it was at my house in 3 days. After sticking the insignia on the front, I put it on my head and my god... was it warm. I had to take it off within a couple of minutes because I started sweating! I've been telling friends and family about this website ever since my first order, and since then I've got an Army Officer Mouton hat and my dad ordered a Black Rabbit Fur hat. Kids at school are starting to check these hats out and a couple have already ordered! When "stormageddon" started all across the country, I went for a woods walk with my Navy Officer Mouton hat on in blizzard conditions with the standing temperature at -20F... didn't feel a thing. 40 mph winds had no effect while I had my hat on. The dang thing is so incredibly warm and comfortable. My advice for anyone looking at this website wanting a high-quality, durable, and warm winter hat, this is the place. I smile on the inside when I see items "Out of Stock", because Dimitri definitely deserves all of the business he can get.
Warm regards,

Great Headgear! Delivery was prompt and the hat was spectacular. The hat was soft but held it's shape well. Only negative is that at the moment is that it is a bit of a tight fit but that is nothing a little bit of stretching won't fix. I am very happy to have this beautiful hat.

Dear Dmitry,
I am not typically a buyer who writes about my purchases. But the three hats I purchased from you are so beautiful, so finely constructed and were so well received by my teenagers, (who begged me to give them to them as soon as they found out they had arrived), I had to send a note of thanks and praise. It is rare to find outstanding product quality, excellent customer service and fair prices all at the same retailer. You and your team are getting it right on every count and you have several new young customers for life!
Cheers and Happy Holidays!

I ordered 2 hats and 3 insignia badges, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items. The hats are solidly built and are relatively heavy, which I think is great. The mouton is very soft and feels great against my face. I can't wait for winter to unleash it's wrath so I can put them to the test. The insignia look great as well and compliment the hats. Also, the order was shipped within one business day and I received free one day shipping, something that has never happened before.
I'll definitely order again.

Hey just wanted to say I rec'd my Ushanka today and could not be more happy with it.
In the last three months I have bought and returned about seven different Ushanka's all of which were second rate, made in China, and of poor quality. I am replacing an Ushanka I bought about ten years ago and literally thought I was out of luck until I happened across your site. Why I didn't think to put a www.exactlywhatiamlookingfor.com in my browser window escapes me but I found you nonetheless.

After purchasing my Black Ushanka size 58, but only bought it during late fall weather.. and here in VA Beach having an awkward climate, the temperature is only around 80 high, 60 low during fall weather.
finally when it reached November, temperatures are lowered finally able to wear the ushanka with pride!
Wore it to school in the cold chilly weather, quite a few people were really surprised to see an actual Russian Ushanka.
I am also attending a Russian language class in my school, and the teacher was really surprised to see an Ushanka, said its like the military officers and such.
I continue to wear it when its cold out. its one of the only International foreign hats that are actually fashionable!

Hi Guys,
Just want to say a BIG thankyou for the Black Mouton Ushanka. It only took a week to arrive and I have just tried it on. It is absolutely gorgeous and fits like a glove. Too bad that we are on the verge of a mini heat wave for the first week in January(it is supposed to reach 11 celsius) as I can't wait to show it off. I have been telling everyone at work about it and they can't wait to see it either. Looks like you will be getting more sales from here soon. Again thankyou for the beautifully made hat and the top notch professional service. Regards, Mark.

Hi to all you people that are having a time wondering if these hats are worth the money. I have bought 2 of them in the last month. Both of them are the best well made hats that I have ever owned. The one a black lambs skin was just a bit small, so I called Ushanka, and they told me just how to stretch it to fit, easy as pie. Have no fear of the quality, it is tops. It is nice that someone cares, and sells only the very best.

Dear Valentina,
I recently ordered a rabbit fur ushanka from Ushanka.com and have received it today in the timeframe specified by your website. I cannot thank you enough for this item. In just a few hours, I can totally feel the difference between a ushanka and the wool tuque I've had for years. I just can't compare both
I am also amazed at the quality of the item. Not only does it feel specifically made to withstand extreme temperatures, I can finally see why russian officials, various other military figures and citizens have been using them for years because it honestly surpasses any modern day winter hats made of synthetic fabric claiming to be "ultra-hot" under extreme cold. It's actually a lot warmer than anything else I've worn before. And admittedly, it makes one look damn good in the process. It's win-win situation across the line. :)
I can finally deal with our rigorous Canadian winters knowing my head will be the only thing not suffering from frostbite.
Thank you again for my brand new ushanka hat !
From Canada with love!

When my son told me he wanted a hat instead of the gift of a TV for X-mas, I knew he was nuts.
I was sure he would be disappointed, but ordered it. It was close to X-mas and was afraid it would be delivered after,
was pleasantly surprised when it was here early. I don’t think he’s had it off since, he goes out with shorts, and the hat!
We've had warmer than usual weather but he wears his hat.
I was very impressed with my purchase and feel so smart for getting such a good deal.
I have passed on your site to other friends, that now want a hat too. Thank you,

Valentina, I received my Ushanka yesterday. It is an awesome hat. I measure 22" and went with the size 57, it fits like a tailor made product. The quality is top notch, and I put it to use last night in the chilly temps of N.W. Pa. The light weight, soft feel, (inside &; out) and the warmth, has made this one of the best hats I have ever purchased. I had so many people say it was the coolest hat they had ever personally seen, it was passed around half the time I was out!!!! I should have gotten this years ago!!! All my doubts about the Ushanka were put to rest, I cannot thank you enough......yours is the "real deal". Have a great New Year.

I must say it is a very nice hat. Very warm for the Wisconsin winter.
If anyone knew how to deal with cold weather, it is the Russians.
I am glad I purchased it!

Hi,
just want to say thank you for my rabbit fur ushanka, like others have said it can be hard to find one that fits if you have a bigger than average head so I was very happy to find that you can supply them in bigger sizes, the quality and feel of it is great.
It did take a bit longer than you advertised to arrive but it was not unexpected and obviously out of your control due to the severe weather that both we had here I the UK and you had in NY, so very happy when it arrived the other day.
many thanks again for great service at a great price.

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

Thank you so much. I expected quality, but this surpasses my expectations. I already enjoy my ushanka immensely. On top of that, it was shipped extraordinarily fast. Ordered Friday night, I'm wearing it Tuesday night. I have wanted this hat since I was 16 years old (I'm nearly 41) and I'm extremely pleased with it. Thank you again. Everyone who asks where they can buy one will be directed to your web site. Thank you !!!

Dear Valentina,
I received my Russian ushanka hat just this week, and I can't go even one day without wearing it! It is so comfortable, and all of my friends want one now. Thank you so much for providing such an affordable, quality product. It will be a much more bearable winter with my new ushanka. Once again, thank you, and I will definitely consider purchasing from you again in the future.

Dear Valentina.
Received my Russian Navy officer hat on Saturday. Wore it for the first time this a.m. for my morning walk along the coast. Delighted with the workmanship and quality of the product, and the service you have provided. A pleasure doing business with you. Wife very jealous and would like one herself.

Valentina,
I just received my hat today, 12/31, and it is GREAT!!! I ordered the rabbit fur ushanka and I really like it.
The temperatures have been mild lately, but I'll be ready for the New Year with this excellent hat!
Shipping was fast and it was a pleasure doing business with you. I really liked that I did not have to wait almost a month to get it from Russia, you have them here already.
Thanks again!

Love my ushanka
Thank you for offering such a high quality product. I have a big head, so its hard for me to find hats. I LOVE my shearling ushanka! It's incredibly warm and comfy! Your prices are very reasonable. You should have a Facebook page! I've been singing the praises of my hat on my page. Thank you!

Dimitry,
First of all, let me congratulate you on your amazing hats. The quality of my hat is astounding and the delivery to the UK was very very quick especially considering Christmas being so near. Your customer service is on a par with the quality of the hats! I have never had after sales service for clothing but you provided extremely valuable tips that will help me enjoy my Ushanka more!
Amazing!
Thank you.

It’s been a pleasure dealing with ushanka.com. I got my hat swift and it was just as explained. Great quality and craftsmanship on the hats.
These hats retail at double the price in Norway, so the price is also very good.
I will be dealing with this site again and I will certainly tell about this site to my friends.

I got my brown lamb fur ushanka about a month ago, promptly after my order. Since then, I have worn it almost every day.
This winter has been exceptionally cold and snowy in Virginia breaking numerous snow records. I have worn my ushanka for 2 hours at a time in 15F temperatures with 40 mph windgusts while clearing my house and property and neighbor's houses of snow and ice.
Despite the extreme conditions, I have always had a warm and comfortable head. The ushanka is an oustanding winter hat!

Hi Valentina,
Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful Ushanka, I'm really pleased
with it! The quality is great. So warm! Delivery was very fast too
considering the delays due to the snow. I ordered on January 6th and
it arrived on January 12th, just in time for more snow!! My friends
were all really impressed with it too. Will definitely consider buying
from you again in the future. Thanks again.

Hi. I just wanted to thank you for responding to my order. I ordered my
ushanka Friday night 12/4 (late in the evening) and I received it yesterday

with the hat itself. I love it!!! My son wants one too. So I will be placing
another order in the next few days. Thanks again and I'll make sure to
recommend you guys around. Happy holidays.

Just writing in to say thank you for the incredibly quick shipping and the
beautiful, beautiful ushanka. I ordered the lamb fur army hat and couldn't
be happier. And the insignia is just remarkable. I'll definitely be coming
back to this site in the future (right now I'm eyeing that set of 50 pins).
Thanks again and take care,

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
