This trapper style hat did start its life with a hammer and sickle badge on the front and was advertised as a Russian Army Style Winter Hat, which is what it is.
Made of fake fur which covers the outer surface, its built around a trapper style hat design with ear flaps and ties for under the chin, that are ideal for what I imagine Russian winters are like
This Russian can be fun.
Perhaps he can't ear well with flaps down.
But is quickly serious again in to keep up his appearance.
