Product code: Vtg Ushanka Ear Flap Russian Mink Hat - Quilted Liner Tag shops Size 58 cm = 7 1/4 US
My father-in-law told me he got this Mink Ushanka from a Russian in Hanoi back in the early 60s I'm not shops sure how, or why, he thought to bring it with them when they fled Saigon in 1975, but I never knew the man to lie, so somehow he did. He gave me this one, which is a bit too small (I'm a 7 1/2) along with the one that I still wear in winter. He said it is mink. It's in great shape. There is no manufacturer mark, but the Cyrillic tag says it is 38cm, which is 7 1/4 in US hat size.
