    Description

    Size 60 (will fit size 61 too)
    Made in U.S.A
    Super rare reproduction Red Army WWII ushanka, made directly from the original 1940 specification sheet used by the original factories, for the Soviet military in WW2. We spent 6 hours translating and drafting the pattern directly from the original document - every dimension, curvature in flaps etc.. are spot on!
    This ushanka in particular was modeled after one of the most classic WWII Variants using white faux sheepskin and dark khaki cotton body which is unmistakable for any other period than WWII. This ushanka is a replica of an upper ranks cap, but it can also be worn as an infantry cap as it was not terribly uncommon for a private to be seen wearing a ushanka with white fur. There will be no more of these models available as we acquired only enough of these materials to make this one cap - one time chance to own such a faithful replica!
    Liner is made with 100% heavy duty cotton in field gray color, padded and quilted with 5 layers of polar batting to match the density of the original caps. Thread used is extra thick olive color quilt thread, which we found to be a perfect match based off of several 1940 dated originals that we have studied in hand from the Samoilovoy factory. The middle "diamond" shape on the crown has 2 extra layers cutout to shape and inserted to ensure the center of the crown is reinforced (that's 7 layers total)
    Inner crown is also hemmed using a 2mm seam allowance which is the standard for wartime ushankas, This is a technique rarely seen anymore but it ensures the crown will never come unattached, It will certainly always be rock solid in place.
    Ties are 100% cotton in gray color based on an original, ends are sealed with a few dots of super glue to ensure there will be no fraying
    Reproduction wartime Samoilovoy factory stamp with hammer/sickle added
    Reproduction WWII Olive star made of high quality metal, Matte finish and artificially aged to look battle worn and period correct
    Over all a very rare ushanka for reenactors, display or to simply have an exact replica to wear in winter. All ushankas sold here are one of a kind hats, We do not mass produce these. The materials are hand selected in very small quantities to only match those of the time period. This is why each one at our shop is unique to it's self. You will be getting something that you won't find anywhere else, no matter how hard you look.
