Ushanka

The ushanka, winter's must-have! 

The ushanka is the traditional Russian hat that helps you get through periods of extreme cold. This is why the ushanka provides ultimate protection against the cold, protecting the entire head and ears, leaving only the face exposed. In fact, the word chapka simply means "hat", and to be precise, one should use the term ushanka, which comes from the Russian word ouchi meaning "ears". The main characteristic of this headwear is therefore reflected in its name: keeping the ears warm. Equipped with fold-down parts designed to cover the neck and ears, the ushanka is often made of fur and guarantees perfect insulation against the cold.

Chapellerie Traclet offers you a wide selection of ushankas, made from various materials and in multiple colors... you'll find it hard not to find the one that suits you!

A wide range of materials

La Chapellerie Traclet offers a large selection of chapkas in the finest fabrics and materials: leather, cotton, angora, virgin wool, fox or rabbit fur (real or faux). These extremely warm headdresses all have a comfortable lining. They often combine two materials: leather and sheepskin or fur, for example. Some models are also made of synthetic fleece. There's something for every taste and price.

What color Cossack headdress to choose

United or multicolored, chapkas are breaking records for originality. Let yourself be tempted, for example, by a chapka in shades of brown and beige, or by a pink headdress that covers your ears and neck nicely. A white Russian toque in faux fox or rabbit fur will also look great. As for black, it's suitable whether you opt for a chapka, toque or bonnet. Want to take a road trip through northern Europe this winter, or try your luck in caribou country? Don't forget your winter hat! And why not take the opportunity to dare the David Crockett trapper hat or the Russian leopard faux fur hat!

What size to choose for your chapka?

In general, no one size fits all for chapkas, but some specifics regarding each manufacturer: Gena offers sizes from S to XXL. Traclet millinery, meanwhile, offers a wide variety of different sizes, ranging from 54 cm to 64 cm head circumference.

How to wear Cossack headgear

Unlike a simple cap or bonnet, a fur toque of this type has the advantage of being able to be worn in a variety of ways. Either pull up the side flaps which act as earmuffs, tying them over the top of the cap, or leave them down to keep warm. You can also tie these tabs under your neck to close the chapka completely and thus protect your throat.

How to combine your fur hat with other accessories

The Russian bonnet or ouchanka pairs wonderfully with your winter accessories. Find the perfect combination opting for a chapka and gloves with a matching fur cuff! Do you have leather gloves? Then take a look at our chapkas in leather and fox or rabbit fur. Depending on your mood, you can also opt for a leather toque with an elegant fur lapel that's very popular in Russia.
