Ushanka Russian Trapper Bomber Aviator Winter
Hats - Arctic-Store
Hats are mainly worn as stylish accessories by
people of all ages, but some of the popular
styles worn today emerged for other reasons.Of
the types of hats that are popular today, the
trapper hat is the one that is best suited to
cold seasons and environments, protecting the
wearers head, neck and ears.Some also believe
that Asian nomads in Arctic regions wore the
trapper hat.People often associate the current
style of trapper hat with Russia and these types
of hats evolved in the 20th century. During the
Russian civil war the trapper hat was worn by the
Siberian leader Kolchak and the White Army.
During winter time these types of hats were worn
by the Red Army of the Soviet Union as part of
their uniform. An aviator hat, also known as a
bomber hat, is a usually a leather cap with large
earflaps, a chin strap and, often, a short bill
that is commonly turned up at the front to show
the lining (often fleece or fur). It is often
worn with goggles. It may be made of other
materials, such as felt. Aviator hats became
popular in the early days of the 20th century as
open-cockpit airplanes grew in use. Pilots needed
a hat to keep their heads and ears warm, as well
as goggles to protect their eyes in flight. With
the advent of closed-cockpit airplanes, hats
became less necessary (note that Charles
Lindbergh still wore one when he crossed the
Atlantic in 1927, though his Spirit of St. Louis
monoplane had a closed cockpit).

The USHANKA can be translated to a furry winter
hat with ear flaps. Both men and women in Russia
often wear the ushanka. The Ushanka got its name
because of the hat having its ear-flaps being
able to be tied on top of the hat or let down to
the sides. When wearing the ushanka, one has
several different options on how to wear it. The
freedom to let the ear flaps cover your ears from
the harsh Russian winter proves to be helpful in
the long run. The classical style of having the
ear flaps tied on top the hat can be seen in the
old Soviet Union movies, thus, making the ushanka
famous worldwide. The winter fur hat Ushanka was
issued to troops for the coldest winter months.
The ushanka is perhaps the best-known Russian
symbol in the world. Both men and women in Russia
often wear the ushanka.This hat has been used for
many years and has been developed into different
versions over time. It is still issued to many
armies today.
