Men's Fur Hats

Men's Fur Hats Built for Function

A good fur hat isn't something you replace every season. It should keep your ears warm, stay put in the wind and still look right with a wool coat. That's the brief for every men's hat in this collection.

We've been making them since 2010. Everything is cut and sewn by hand in our own workshop — pattern, fur selection, stitching, final shaping. No factory lines.

Which Style Fits Your Winter

Men's ushanka hats — the classic fur hat with ear flaps that tie on top, hang loose or fasten under the chin. Our most popular men's style, in mink, raccoon and sheepskin. See every color and fur in our ushanka hats collection.

Aviator and trapper hats — close fit, long side flaps, often with a sheepskin or leather outer. Built for wind and long hours outside.

Bomber hats — sheepskin and shearling, the most coverage of any style: head, ears and neck. The pick for sustained cold below -25°C.

Fur baseball caps — a visor and a compact mink crown. The everyday option for men who want warmth without a big silhouette.

Mink, Raccoon, Karakul or Sheepskin

Mink — light and dense, the best warmth for its weight. Comfortable from about -15°C to -25°C and easy to wear all day in the city. The most common fur for our men's ushankas.

Raccoon — longer, shaggier fur with a heavier, rugged look. Warmer at the extreme end and the classic choice for men who are outside a lot.

Karakul — tightly curled lamb fur, also known as astrakhan. Smooth, wavy texture, very good wind resistance, a more formal look that works with an overcoat.

Sheepskin — the workhorse. Heavier, almost no special care, and in bomber and trapper cuts it covers the most surface area.

Men's Fur Hats by Activity

City and commute. Short walks, public transport, in and out of buildings. A mink ushanka or mink fur cap — light enough to carry in a bag, warm enough for -20°C at the bus stop. Karakul if you wear a formal overcoat to work.

Hunting and fishing. Hours without moving, often in wind over open ground or ice. A sheepskin bomber or trapper with the flaps down, or a raccoon ushanka tied under the chin. Darker natural colors blend in better outdoors.

Mountains and travel. Changing weather and wind on ridges. An aviator or trapper with long side flaps — it sits closer to the head, so it stays on in gusts and fits under a hood.

Outdoor work. Construction, farms, security, long shifts outside. Sheepskin is the practical choice: it handles snow, rough use and daily wear with almost no care.

How a Men's Fur Hat Should Fit

The edge of the hat should sit about one finger-width above your eyebrows and cover the top of your ears. It should feel snug — no pressure on the forehead, no red line after an hour.

Signs it's too small: it rides up when you turn your head, or the flaps don't close under the chin. Signs it's too big: it slips down over your eyes when you look down, or the wind lifts it from the back.

On an ushanka the ear flaps should reach the earlobes when down. On an aviator or trapper the side flaps should cover the ears and cheeks fully and still fasten without pulling.

Size and Fit for Men

Measure around your head just above the ears and eyebrows. Most men's styles here fit 56–60 cm; exact sizes are on each product page. Between sizes? Go larger — fur settles slightly over the first few wears, but a hat that starts too tight won't stretch. Full guide: hat size guide.

Men's Fur Hats — Questions

Which men's fur hat style should I choose?

For a city winter with short walks, a mink ushanka or fur cap is enough and the lightest to wear. For long hours outside in wind, choose an aviator or trapper with long side flaps. For sustained cold below -25°C — hunting, fishing, outdoor work — a sheepskin bomber covers the head, ears and neck by design.

Is a men's ushanka or an aviator hat warmer?

In the same fur they're close. An ushanka has a fuller crown and ear flaps you can tie up for the city or down for cold. An aviator sits closer to the head with longer side flaps and is better in strong wind. For everyday winter most men choose the ushanka; for long hours outdoors, the aviator or trapper.

What is the difference between mink, raccoon and karakul in a men's hat?

Mink is the lightest and densest, with the best warmth for its weight. Raccoon is heavier and shaggier, warmer at the extreme end and more rugged in look. Karakul (astrakhan) is curled lamb fur with a smooth wavy texture, strong wind resistance and a more formal style.

What size men's fur hat do I need?

Measure around your head just above the ears. Most men's styles fit 56–60 cm. If you're between sizes, take the larger one — fur settles slightly with wear, but a tight hat won't stretch. Send us your measurement before ordering and we'll confirm the fit.

Is a fur baseball cap warm enough without ear flaps?

For city wear down to about -10°C, yes — the mink crown keeps your head warm and the visor blocks wind and snow. In stronger cold your ears are exposed, so an ushanka, aviator or trapper is the better choice.

Can I wear a fur hat with glasses?

Yes. An ushanka with the flaps tied up or a fur baseball cap doesn't touch the temples at all. With flaps down, the fur sits over the glasses arms — most men find it comfortable, but if you wear glasses all day, an aviator with a softer flap is easier.

Do fur hats work in wet snow?

Yes. Shake off the snow when you come inside and let the hat dry at room temperature, away from radiators. Sheepskin and raccoon handle wet weather most easily; mink is fine too as long as it dries naturally.

What coats work with a men's fur hat?

Wool overcoats, leather jackets, heavy parkas and military-style outerwear. Match the weight of the hat to the coat: a mink ushanka or karakul hat with a structured overcoat, a fur baseball cap with a parka or casual jacket, a sheepskin bomber with heavy outdoor gear.

Which men's fur hat is best for -30°C?

A sheepskin bomber or trapper, or an ushanka with the flaps tied under the chin. At that temperature coverage matters more than the fur itself — you need the ears, cheeks and neck protected at the same time.
