Silvery iris mink forms this fur hat into a full hood: a light grey with a faint lilac cast wraps everything from forehead to neck as one smooth piece. A periwinkle jersey scarf with a soft sheen runs through it and ends in two long plain tails, without pompons. Universal fit, comfortable until about −20°C, made by hand in Ukraine.
Silver fur, periwinkle silk-like jersey.
Grey Hats With a Lilac Glow
On this hood the iris mink looks first of all silver-grey, like a frosty morning, and only on a second look shows a faint lilac note. Daylight makes the fur brighter and cooler; warm indoor light adds a trace of mauve. The jersey below is a clear periwinkle, bluer than the fur, so the two tones support each other: the scarf brings out the cool side of the mink, the mink keeps the blue from looking sporty.
A Light Iris Mink Fur Hood for Real Frost
Mink covers the whole hood without strips, which holds heat close until roughly −20°C. The long jersey tails let you close the neck completely, knot them at the side or drape them over the shoulders. Because the scarf has no pompons, it tucks neatly into a coat. For a beret-sized fur piece in cool shades, browse our mink berets.
Wearing Silver and Periwinkle
Light grey, white and ice-blue coats give a fresh, frosty winter look. Navy and charcoal deepen the periwinkle and make the silver fur shine. Black works for evening. Silver jewellery and grey suede gloves finish it neatly. Skip warm orange or mustard tones, which fight the cool palette. If you prefer earflaps in deep cold, our ushanka hats are warmer still.
Sizing
Sold as Iris, single size. The jersey stretches comfortably over most adult heads; the way you wrap the tails controls the fit.

Questions People Ask
Is this hood grey or lilac?
Mostly silver-grey, with a soft lilac cast that shows in some light. Outdoors on a bright day it reads as cool silver; indoors under warm lamps the lilac becomes more noticeable. It never looks pink or purple. Next to the periwinkle scarf the fur appears lighter and greyer, which is what makes the pair look balanced.
Silver iris or the violet-leaning iris model?
Both are full iris mink hoods without pompons, but the mood differs. On the lavender model the fur reads more clearly violet and the jersey is a pale blue-grey. Here the mink looks lighter and more silvery, and the scarf is a stronger periwinkle with long tails. Choose this one for a frosty silver look, the lavender one for more color.
Does periwinkle suit someone who rarely wears color?
Yes, because it's soft and sits low on the outfit. The silver mink near the face stays neutral, while the periwinkle scarf adds a gentle touch of color around the neck. With grey, navy or black coats it looks calm. If you want it quieter still, wrap the scarf once and tuck the tails inside your coat.
Will my throat stay warm with only jersey there?
For most winter days, yes. The jersey is thin but closes the neck completely, and the fur hood above blocks wind around the ears and throat. In hard frost, wrap the tails twice; two layers of jersey under a coat collar keep the neck warm. It never itches, so it's comfortable even on bare skin.
Will silver mink look old-fashioned?
Not in this cut. The hood has a clean, close shape without trim or decoration, and the periwinkle jersey gives it a modern color note. Grey fur only looks dated when paired with heavy, fussy styling. Worn with a straight coat, sneakers or slim boots, it reads current and elegant.
Can the hood be worn in light rain?
A short walk in drizzle is fine; shake off the drops and let the hood dry at room temperature, away from radiators. Mink doesn't absorb water quickly, but soaked fur dries stiff, so in steady rain use an umbrella or keep it in your bag. The jersey dries fast and won't stain the light fur.
Which makeup works with silver and periwinkle?
Cool tones look best. Soft pink or berry lips, a touch of rose blush and grey or plum eyeshadow match the palette. Silver or white-gold earrings repeat the fur's sheen. Bronze and orange shades can look muddy next to the cool silver, so keep warm tones light if you use them.
Is it a good gift for a winter birthday?
Yes. Silver mink is elegant and suits most complexions, the size is universal, and the periwinkle scarf feels fresh rather than formal. It works for someone who already has a dark winter hat and wants a lighter option. Wrap it in tissue and add a note to store it away from sunlight in summer.
