False Fur

This fake fur trapper hat would no doubt keep your head warm in a blizzard. 


 Not being real fur helps with comfort although probably not by much, I suppose being fake it's more flexible and soft on the inside than a real fur hat.


A real fur trapper hat made from the pelt of the North American/Canadian hunters prey would probably look more like a coonskin hat.

Sheepskin Hat


This trapper style hat is made of sheepskin, ideal to keep your head warm on a cold windy day


I've talked about trapper hats before and so don't have a lot more to say, so just follow the labels for trapper hat.


The ear flaps tie up.

Ushanka

Ushanka comes from a Russian word meaning ears.

This fur-lined cap comes with fold-down ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap, or fastened under the chin to protect the ears lower face from the cold. 


The Ushanka cap or hat is winter wear worn any from the USA to Russia but is very popular with Soviet naval officers

Traditionally made from rabbit or sheepskin and used in all sorts of extreme cold climates





This could also be called a trapper hat, but a trapper hat is not necessarily fur lined or designed for extreme cold.


This hat is a tourist variety with cheap soviet style badge and artificial fur but is still a practical hat that not just novelty wear.

Trapper Cap


This waxed cotton trapper hat is perfect for when I go hunting for lost socks


Fur lined it helps protect me from the dusty locations hidden socks lurk waiting to jump out at you.



Being black is also excellent camouflage for the dark corners of the sock draw.



You can also wear it with ear flaps down so you cannot be distracted by other noisy clothing.



You can even wear this cap outdoors in the cold and rain.

Serious Russian

This trapper style hat did start its life with a hammer and sickle badge on the front and was advertised as a Russian Army Style Winter Hat, which is what it is.


Made of fake fur which covers the outer surface, its built around a trapper style hat design with ear flaps and ties for under the chin, that are ideal for what I imagine Russian winters are like


This Russian can be fun.


Perhaps he can't ear well with flaps down.


 But is quickly serious again in to keep up his appearance.
