Brown Sheepskin Fur Hat for Men – Visor Cap with Earflaps

Men's Fur Hats

Brown is the color of old saddles, good boots and the jacket your father wouldn't give away. It looks lived-in from the first day, in the best way, and it only gets more comfortable from there.

That's the mood of this cap.

Brown Sheepskin Hat with a Leather Visor

A firm brown leather peak sits up front, the crown is leather too, and warm brown sheepskin wraps the ears, the back of the head and the neck. The wool is thick and soft on the inside, the leather is smooth on the outside, and the two browns sit together as easily as a saddle on a horse.

Ties let you wear the flaps down under the chin for wind, folded back for a crisp morning, or knotted on top when you head indoors.

A Men's Shearling Hat for Weekends Out of Town

Think road trips north, Saturday markets, a cabin with a wood stove, a long walk along a frozen river. This fur hat fits that kind of winter. It holds steady to about −25°C with the flaps lowered and looks right next to a waxed jacket, a wool overcoat or a brown leather flight jacket.

Every seam is hand-finished in our Ukrainian workshop; expect 10 to 15 winters from it. For a full-fur shape, look at the ushanka hats collection, and city-friendly caps are in the mink fur caps range.

Questions People Ask

My US hat size is 7⅜. Which size should I order?

Order L, which matches 59 cm and US 7⅜. US hat sizes are just head circumference converted to a number, so if a fitted cap in 7⅜ feels right on you, this one will too. If you're used to wearing 7⅜ slightly loose, still stay with L; the sheepskin back panel fills the space at the neck so the cap doesn't feel sloppy.

Brown or grey: does anything besides the shade separate the two caps?

No, they're built identically, so choose by your wardrobe. Brown is warmer and more country in feel and looks best with earth tones, brown leather and waxed cotton. Grey is cooler and more urban, easier with black, navy and charcoal. If your boots and belts lean brown, this is your cap; if your coats are mostly dark, grey is the safer match.

Can I tie and untie the earflaps while wearing gloves?

With thin gloves, easily. With thick insulated work gloves it takes an extra moment, as ties always need a bit of finger work. A simple trick is to tie a loose bow rather than a knot, so one pull opens it. If you'll be switching the flaps up and down many times a day in heavy gloves, leave them tied back loosely so you only need to drop them.

Can the leather visor be repaired or replaced if it's damaged?

Yes. The peak is stitched into the crown, so a cobbler or leather workshop can unpick it and fit a new one; it isn't a home job. In practice that's rarely needed: a leather visor that's kept clean and conditioned lasts many years. Most damage comes from being sat on or dried on a radiator, both easy to avoid.

Does brown sheepskin look too rustic to wear in the city?

Not with the right coat. With a parka or a hiking jacket it leans outdoorsy, but put it above a navy peacoat, a camel overcoat or a dark wool car coat and it looks smart-casual and deliberate. The leather peak helps, giving it the line of a classic cap. Keep the flaps tied up in town and it reads more like heritage menswear than farm gear.

Do snow and rain leave water marks on this brown cap?

Usually not. Brown hides water marks far better than light shades, and smooth leather sheds water easily. If the wool gets soaked, it may dry slightly stiff or darker in patches; brush it gently once it's completely dry and the color evens out. Dry the cap at room temperature, flaps down, never on a heater. A leather conditioner afterwards keeps the peak supple.

How should I store a visor cap so the peak doesn't bend?

Store it flat on a shelf, crown up, with the peak resting free rather than pressed against a wall. Stuff the crown with tissue paper or a soft T-shirt so it keeps its shape. Don't hang it by the peak or stack things on it. For summer storage, use a breathable cotton bag or box in a cool, dark closet, never a sealed plastic bag.

Does the brown shade of a sheepskin hat vary from one to another?

Yes, a little. Every sheepskin is different, so the brown can lean warmer and lighter toward tan or deeper toward chocolate, and the leather peak may not match the wool exactly. That's normal for hide and wool and part of what makes each cap one of a kind. If you want a specific shade, drop us a message first and we'll describe what's in stock.
