Army enlisted man ushanka fur hat, ORIGINAL Soviet issue, dated between the late 1970s and late 1980s.
If you are buying one to wear at events and not just to add to your collection: 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 about a size. Some of our customers also reported effectively using a soccer ball for the same purpose.
Excellent,

Excellent, unissued condition. The fur may show some minor storage age but the hat has 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 selected for you from our inventory.
