  Baltic Rim : Offers traditional Russian winter hats, ushankas and trooper hats in fur and faux-fur for men and women.  The Baltic Rim Ushanka is the original, manufactured in the factories that once supplied high ranking politburo officials and the Soviet military. Even today the paper work still bears the trademark bureaucratic hand stamp of the now historic communist regime.

Ushanka, Trooper and the Ear-Flap System

Ushanka and trooper describe the same family: a round or flat-topped crown with long ear flaps and often a front flap for the forehead. Worn flaps-up, tied on the crown, it is a tidy cold-day hat; flaps-down and tied under the chin, it seals the ears, jaw and neck against wind chill, which is why the style was standard issue for the Soviet military and remains the default for extreme continental winters. Baltic Rim sells both fur and faux-fur versions for men and women, so the choice between them is about warmth, weight, price and care rather than availability.

Fur vs Faux Fur in Extreme Cold

Real fur is still the warmth benchmark at very low temperatures: the dense underfur traps air, the shell resists wind, and it stays supple in deep cold. Faux fur closes much of the gap for ordinary winter use, costs less and needs no specialist storage. Whichever you choose, fit the hat with the flaps down - it should cover the ears fully without riding up - and store it dry, loosely stuffed, away from heat. Fur versions want cool, dark storage over the summer; faux fur wants only to be kept uncrushed so the pile keeps its loft.
