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

Description

Size 60
Made in U.S.A
Super rare reproduction Red Army WWII ushanka, made directly from the original 1940 specification sheet used by the original factories, for the Soviet military in WW2. We spent 6 hours translating and drafting the pattern directly from the original document - every dimension, curvature in flaps etc.. are spot on!
This ushanka in particular is a replica of an upper ranks cap, but it can also be an infantry cap as it was not terribly uncommon for a private to be seen wearing a ushanka with white fur.  This fur in particular is faux sheepskin in cream white color - bonded with suede heavy fleece on the backside it is very dense and warm!
The outer body material is a vintage cotton flannel in dark subdued olive drab color, Very common color used on originals.
Note:Cotton material (flannel and occasionally twill) was used for infantry caps where as wool was primarily for officer or commander caps.
We use a special technique to ensure that the fur fully wraps around the edges of the ear flaps when sewing which you can notice on the ear flaps, as they are fully "bordered" with the fur trim. Without the technique we use, you will often see many repros that look "odd" from the front, due to one flap having the cotton material exposed on the front of one flap when tied up, while the other flap looks normal (having the fur trim showing).... This is a common construction error on many repros, We make ours carefully with technique just like the originals!
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)
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 gray color based on an original, ends are sealed with a few dots of super glue to ensure no fraying
Reproduction wartime Samoilovoy factory stamp with hammer/sickle added
Reproduction WWII Red star made of high quality metal, Matte finish and artificially aged
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.
