If you are buying one to wear and not just to add to your collection, but need a larger size: some have found that with determined stretching (perhaps over a block of wood or using an actual hat stretching device - such gizmos do exist) plus a lot of daily wear these surplus ushankas may expand by at least a size or two (i.e. to a Russian size 59 / 60). Some of our customers also reported effectively using a soccer ball for same purpose.
Excellent, unissued condition; the fur shows only storage age but no moth bites or mildew problems.
Please note: The hat shown in our photographs is a sample. If you decide to purchase one, you will receive a hat of equal condition and made
by the same factory selected for you from our inventory. All are from the Soviet era, dated no later than 1989.
