Army officer of the Russian Federation winter hat, with Soviet Red Star insignia

Made from genuine mouton sheepskin fur, this ushanka hat model is a current issue of the Russian Army forces. The wool top of this hat acts as water resistant shell. The nature of the fabric is such that it very slowly absorbs moisture, and once wet it becomes almost impenetrable to water. When it gets wet, it does not let moister in, therefore even if it is raining, a Russian Police officer's head stays dry and warm.This hat is excellent for keeping the ears and neck warm, blocking out the cold wind and snow, with the ear flaps from the soft mouton.Quilted padded cotton lining inside.For your convenience an insignia (1 1/3 inch tall Authentic Soviet Army Red Star cap insignia, manufactured in 1970's.) comes unattached to the hat.Made in Russia.
