Fur, Wool & Cashmere Hats - Ukrainian Craftsmanship
Fur Hats, Newsboy Caps & Cloche Hats — Handcrafted Quality
We craft hats that last. From fur ushankas and cloche hats to newsboy caps and berets — each piece is handmade with materials chosen for quality, not convenience.
What started small has grown into something we're proud of: a workshop where every hat gets individual attention. Our customers wear their hats for years, and that's the standard we build to. Real fur that insulates. Wool that doesn't lose shape. Linen that breathes in summer heat.
You'll find winter fur hats for serious cold — ushankas lined with mink or fox, designed to actually keep you warm. Wool flat caps and newsboy caps for everyday wear. Cloche hats and berets for a touch of elegance. Summer options in linen and cotton when you need breathability over warmth.
We focus on a few things: sourcing materials that perform, construction that holds up, and designs that work across seasons. No shortcuts in the stitching. No generic sizing. Each hat is built to fit properly and last beyond one winter.
Browse by style — fur hats, cloche hats, newsboy caps, flat caps, berets. Or by season if that's easier. We've organized everything so you can find what fits your needs without scrolling through irrelevant options.
Collection list
Handcrafted Fur Hats, Newsboy Caps & Berets
Every fur hat, cloche hat, and newsboy cap in our collection goes through the same process: material selection, cutting, hand-stitching, shaping, and final inspection.
We start by hand-selecting materials. Fur pelts get checked for density and softness. Wool gets tested for warmth without weight. Cashmere for breathability. Linen and cotton for summer pieces that actually keep you cool.
Then comes construction. Reinforced seams on flat caps and newsboy caps so they hold their shape. Properly lined ushankas so the fur sits correctly. Structured brims on cloche hats that don't collapse after a season. Adjustable sizing on berets and caps that need flexibility.
We don't rush production. Each hat gets the time it needs. That's why customers tell us their winter hats last five, six, seven years. The stitching doesn't come loose. The fur doesn't shed excessively. The shape stays consistent.
It's not complicated — just meticulous work and materials that perform.
Common Questions
Q: What types of hats do you make?
We make fur hats, newsboy caps, flat caps, berets, cloche hats, and mink headscarfs — for both men and women. On the fur side: ushankas, aviator hats, bomber hats, trapper hats, and fur baseball caps in mink, raccoon, fox, sheepskin, and karakul. For lighter seasons: wool, tweed, cashmere, linen, and cotton newsboy caps, baker boy hats, berets, and cloche hats. Some hats are built for -25°C. Others work year-round.
Q: How do I measure my head size for a hat?
Take a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your head about one finger-width above your ears and eyebrows — right where a hat sits. Keep the tape snug but not tight. That number in centimeters is your hat size. Most of our hats come in sizes 55–62 cm. If you're between sizes: for structured styles like flat caps and cloche hats, go with the larger size. For softer styles like berets or adjustable newsboy caps, either usually works. If in doubt, contact us with your measurement and the specific hat — we'll tell you exactly which size fits.
Q: How do I care for a fur hat between seasons?
Brush gently with a soft fur brush after each wear — always follow the direction of the fur. This lifts moisture and stops the pelt from matting. Let it air dry at room temperature if it gets wet. Store in a cool, dry spot in a breathable bag — never plastic, which traps moisture and damages the fur over time. Direct sunlight and radiators both degrade fur permanently, so keep it away from both. For deep cleaning at the end of the season, take it to a professional furrier rather than attempting it at home. A mink or raccoon hat cared for this way lasts 15–20 years.
Q: Are newsboy caps and flat caps sized the same way?
Yes — both use the same head circumference sizing (55–62 cm). The difference is in the crown shape, not the size scale. Newsboy caps have more volume up top — that full, eight-panel rounded look. Flat caps sit closer to your head with a flatter profile. When choosing size: flat caps should go larger if you're between sizes, since they hug the head more tightly. Newsboy caps can go either way depending on how you prefer the fit — snug or relaxed. Both styles typically have some adjustability built in.
Q: What is the difference between a cloche hat and a beret?
Shape, structure, and how you wear them. A cloche hat has that classic 1920s bell-shaped silhouette with a defined downward-curving brim — made from wool, felt, cashmere, or leather. It holds its shape and reads more formal; pairs well with coats and dressed-up outfits. A beret is soft and round with no brim — you can fold it and put it in a pocket. It sits flat on the head, tilted to one side. More casual and versatile; works with everything from chunky sweaters to leather jackets. Cloches are structured and intentional. Berets are relaxed and effortless.
Q: What is the difference between a mink fur hat and a sheepskin hat?
Mink is lighter, denser, and softer — excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, handles -15°C to -25°C, and lasts 15–20 years with proper care. Sheepskin is heavier and slightly warmer at extreme temperatures; bomber and trapper styles in sheepskin cover more of the head, ears, and neck by design, which makes them a better choice for sustained outdoor exposure below -25°C. Mink is the more practical everyday option for city winters. Sheepskin is better when coverage matters more than weight.
Q: Is the fur in your hats real, and where does it come from?
Real fur only — we don't use synthetic materials. All fur in our hats comes from certified farm-raised suppliers: mink, raccoon, fox, sheepskin, and karakul depending on the style. Farm-raised means consistent pelt density and quality, which is why the insulation performs reliably. We inspect every pelt before use and reject material that doesn't meet our standards. The specific fur type for each hat is listed on the product page.
Q: How long do your handmade hats last?
It depends on the material and how you care for it. A mink or raccoon fur hat brushed regularly and stored properly lasts 15–20 years. Wool and tweed newsboy caps and flat caps hold up 5–10 years of regular wear when kept dry and brushed occasionally. Cashmere and felt cloche hats last similarly with gentle handling. Linen and cotton summer caps are the most delicate — still several seasons if you treat them right. The handmade construction helps: seams are reinforced and the eight-panel crown on our newsboy caps distributes stress so it doesn't concentrate in one place.
Q: Do you ship internationally, and how long does delivery take?
Yes — worldwide with tracking on every order. Delivery to the US, UK, Canada, and most of Europe typically takes 7–14 days from our Kyiv workshop. Sometimes faster, occasionally longer for more remote locations. Every shipment includes a tracking number so you can follow it. We pack each hat carefully — fur hats are shaped and wrapped so they arrive in perfect condition.
Q: Do I need to pay customs duties when ordering to the USA?
No — we handle all customs duties and import fees for US orders. The price you see at checkout is the final price; no surprise charges when your package arrives. For orders outside the US, customs policies vary by country. Contact us before ordering if you're in a country with high import duties and want clarification on what to expect.

We'll sort it quickly: full refund or exchange, your choice. If the issue is our mistake, we cover return shipping. If you changed your mind, return shipping is on you.
