    Black sheepskin review

    I've seen about 25 Ushankas/trapper hats this fall and winter. About 9/10 of them had their flaps down =/.

    With ear flaps up, I can wear my Ushanka in 10 degree celcius weather. Comrades, tommorow we're getting -30 degree celcius weather tommorow, I think it's time for ear flaps.

    I agree, real men should not put down their ear flaps until - 15 degree Celsius (not including wind chill). I also follow the same etiquette as a fedora user. One time I took my Ushanka off when I entered an elevator. With a lady entering behind me, she smilled and took her hat off.

    I know right. I have a black sheepskin Ushanka ftom Ushanka.com. I've only put down the ear flaps once when it was -20 degree celcius. I had to walk for 2 hours straight at night. It looked pretty dorky, but it kept me warm. When do you put your ear flaps down?

    Russian hat check University of Chicago Russian professor Valentina Pichugin claims that during the Soviet period a shapka ushanka can be "better than a business card" for determining someone's station in life, depending on the design, quality, but especially the pelts. Here is the Russian pelt...

    I have not it worn outside yet, but it fits perfectly and you should go for your exact size. Definetly looks good and exactly as depicted on the website. Now how do I post pics -_-.

    I've never seen a true Ushanka here in Toronto yet. I guess I'll be the first in my neighborhood.

    Black sheepskin review

    That's very interesting. I ordered the navy cocade badge. Remember Sean Connery in red October? I didn't see the movie but, I know he has the same hat but, with a leather top. This will be my first hat, it is expected to arrive in 2 to 3 days

    Black sheepskin review

    Very informative, thanks! BTW, did you cover your ears by tieing it to the back or did you wear it with the earflaps on top? This is why I love this hat. There are two stylish ways to wear it. Everyone here in Toronto wears a beanie, I want to stand out lol.
