Fur Hat, Racoon/Loden

The hat is made in the classic ushanka style. »Ushanka« literally means »hat with earflaps«, while the Russian word »shapka« simply means »hat«. The turned-up forehead area, as well as the neck and ear areas, are made of locally hunted racoon fur. The individual markings of the fur make each hat unique. The loden by traditional weaving mill Gebrüder Mehler provides optimal protection in cold weather. The ear flaps can be secured under the chin or above the head with a strap. The head part is quilted with a colour-matching lining fabric. The fur hat is the perfect companion for icy cold winter days outdoors.At this point, we would like to emphasise that our furs do not come from fur farms or the like, but from locally hunted animals. In terms of sustainability, the pelts of only predatory mammal are used, which are hunted to protect small game and support biodiversity. Thus, the use of these skins serves as a practical and sustainable use of natural resources.
