Camo Ushanka

This camo pattern ushanka is probably a perfect hunting hat, however never been hunting so could be worst hunting hat ever for all I know.


Also for some reason the double ear flaps I find make this hat a little comical, but they may have a purpose, perhaps to protect the ears for the noise of the gun or just extra ear warmth.


Ear flaps up and away

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.

Skull Past


This wool felt skull cap is one of my oldest hats


Made from 8 triangles of fabric sewn together

Now a chance to scan some old photos of me wearing the skull cap


Above me as part of mummers play

Below me in shorts at a music festival


Below me doing theatrical mediaeval reenactment at Warwick Castle


Not worn much recently, but one that got worn often.
