Repro Soviet M1940 WW2 Ushanka Hat Size 60- Red Army RKKA WWII Uniform Headgear

Description

Size
60 (can be stretched to 61 if needed ) Made in U.S.A
Super rare reproduction Red Army WWII ushanka modeled after studied original example. Cap is made directly from the original 1940 specification sheet used by the original factories, for the Soviet military in WW2.
We painstakingly translated and drafted the original pattern from this sheet - many features such as the 0.5 cm seam allowance on the hems, curvature in the ear flaps, hemmed inner crown, dimensions  and so on are all meticulously followed. The fabrics, layers, density and even the thread used in the liner are strictly followed from originals we have in our collection.
This ushanka in particular was made from a very rare and limited fake fleece fur in a classic wartime ushanka color of natural gray. the pile length is 0.5mm which was most commonly used on originals, and also the reason the Soviets dubbed it "fish fur" due to the material not resembling that of any animal.
The outer body material is brushed xotton flannel whichnwas standard material during the war in earth gray color,  This was also a very very common color used on the wartime examples. Cotton material (flannel and twill) was used for infantry caps where as wool was primarily for officer or commander caps.
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 crown is reinforced (that's 7 layers total)... When worn, this ushanka will literally feel like you have a comforter wrapped around your head!
Inner crown is also hemmed using a 0.5mm 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 olive drab based on an original

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 nor do we take custom orders (due to scarcity of materials). 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.
