Black Fur Hat and Scarf in One, Mink & Suede Striped Hood

Mink Headscarfs & Fur Hoods

This is a black fur hat and fur scarf made as one piece: a hood of alternating mink and suede leather strips sewn onto stretch knit, and that same knit runs on into two scarf ends with mink pompons, 180 cm from tip to tip. One size fits most adult women. Handcrafted in Ukraine.

Head, ears and neck. One piece, no gaps.

Fur Hat With a Hood or a Hat and Scarf Set?

A separate hat and scarf leave a seam of cold at the nape, and on a windy corner that is exactly where it gets in. Here the hood and the scarf are the same length of knit, so there is nothing to slip apart. Pull the hood up, cross the ends at the throat, and the face is the only thing left open. On the metro or in a shop, the knit breathes, so you don't overheat in two minutes. It stays comfortable to around −15°C. Colder than that, or hours outdoors in wind, and our mink ushankas with earflaps are the better tool.

Mink and Suede Stripes, All in Black

Mink pile soaks up light and reads deep and soft. Suede nap catches it at an angle, a shade cooler and flatter. Laid in alternating bands, the two give a stripe you only see up close or in side light from a window; across the street the hood simply looks black. No other color appears anywhere: not on the pompons, not at the face opening, which has no trim at all. It sits quietly with a black wool coat or a dark parka and never asks the outfit to change.

A Fur Scarf When the Hood Is Down

Push the hood back and the piece turns into a fur scarf with a soft collar of mink and suede on the shoulders. That is how most women wear it indoors, in a café or at a desk by a drafty window: warm throat, no hat hair. When you step outside again, the hood goes back up in a second. For a different silhouette, compare our mink fur berets or the wider range of fur hats for women.

Sizing

One size, sold in one black option. The stretch knit adapts to the head; how firmly the hood holds at the neck depends on how you tie the ends.

Questions People Ask

How do I tie a hooded fur scarf so wind can't get in?

Cross the two ends under your chin, take them around to the back of the neck, then bring them forward again and knot loosely at the front. That wraps the throat twice and pulls the hood snug against the cheeks. For milder days, a single knot under the chin is enough. Or leave the ends hanging, so the mink pompons sit at chest height and the hood frames the face loosely.

Will this fur hat fit over long hair, a bun or glasses?

Yes to all three, with one exception. Long hair can stay inside the hood or come out at the neck. A low bun fits under the back without lifting the front edge. Glasses are no problem, since the 60 cm face opening sits well clear of the temples and nothing presses on the arms. The exception is a high top knot, which pushes the hood up and pulls the face opening back.

What happens to suede strips in wet snow and sleet?

They can darken in patches and turn stiff if they soak through, so wet snow and sleet are the days to avoid. Dry snow is no problem: shake it off at the door and the fur is fine. On slushy days, keep an umbrella or a coat hood handy. If it does get damp, dry it at room temperature on a rounded form, away from radiators and hair dryers, then brush the mink lightly.

Are the stripes real mink and real leather?

Yes. The fur bands are genuine mink pelts and the flat bands are suede, which is leather with a brushed surface. Part the fur and you'll see thin leather at the base; imitation fur grows from a woven backing. Suede feels dry and velvety and smells faintly of leather, unlike synthetic microfiber. Only the base, the inside and the scarf ends are textile.

How do I clean and store a fur hood with suede strips?

Don't wash it, and don't use home suede sprays, which can mat the mink beside them. A furrier can clean fur and suede in one go; once a season is enough. Between wears, shake it out and let it air. For summer, use a cotton bag in a dark wardrobe, never plastic, and keep it off sunny shelves, because black mink left in light can turn rusty over time.

Will the stretch knit lose its shape over the winter?

Not noticeably. It relaxes a little in the first weeks as it settles to your head, then holds. Knit usually goes baggy from washing and from being yanked on, and this piece gets neither: a furrier cleans it, never in water. Put it on by lifting the edge of the hood rather than pulling the scarf ends, and store it folded loosely instead of hanging it by one end.

Does a one-size fur hood make a safe present?

Yes, it's one of the safest fur gifts, because there's no head size to guess: the stretch knit fits most adult women. Black removes the color question too. It suits someone who's always cold, walks a dog in winter, or commutes by public transport and hates juggling a hat, a scarf and gloves at every door. Add a soft brush, and she has everything she needs for care.

Which coats go best with a striped mink hood?

A coat with a plain collar. A long black wool coat makes the stripes the only detail near the face. A camel or grey coat turns the hood into a clear black accent. With a parka, fold the parka's own hood down and tuck the scarf ends inside the zip. Skip big fur collars; two layers of fur at the neck look bulky and hide the pompons.
