Black Mink Fur and Leather Ushanka Hat with Bill for Men.

Ushanka Cap Hybrid Design

Combines ushanka earflap coverage with baseball cap bill. Black mink fur on earflaps and sections. Genuine leather on crown and bill. Each material serves a purpose—mink for warmth, leather for structure and durability.

Earflaps go up or down. Bill stays put. Best of both styles in one piece.

Construction Details

Pattern cutting starts each piece in our Ukraine workshop. Matching black mink pelts for visual consistency. The leather crown needs different handling than fur—cutting precisely, reinforcing without stiffness. Bill gets structural support. Interior lining hand-stitched.

We source certified mink and quality leather. Reject anything below standards. Takes longer to build than single-material hats because you're coordinating fur and leather.

All-Black Versatility

Black mink and black leather blend together. Works with any winter coat. Wool, down, technical gear—doesn't matter. The materials complement each other visually without competing.

Fits 56-61cm heads. Adjustable elements mean customizable fit.

When You'd Use This

Cold weather where you want the bill function plus ear coverage. Walking around town with earflaps up looks casual. Temperature drops? Flip them down. The bill keeps snow and sun out of your face regardless of earflap position.

Winter commutes. Outdoor work. Weekend activities. Situations where pure fur or pure leather wouldn't give you both options.

What's Included: Black mink fur sections, genuine leather crown and bill, insulated lining, earflaps adjust up or down, ties, universal fit, handmade Ukraine, worldwide tracked shipping.

Care

Mink sections get soft fur brush. Leather needs leather conditioner periodically—keeps it from drying out. Store cool and dry. Professional cleaning for both materials once per season.

Questions About This Hat

Why combine mink and leather?

Different material strengths. Mink provides warmth on earflaps where you need insulation. Leather offers structure on crown and bill—holds shape better than fur in those areas. Plus leather handles wear from repeated handling. You get functional benefits from each material where it matters most.

Leather care different from fur care?

Yes. Fur needs brushing after wear. Leather needs occasional conditioning to prevent drying and cracking. Store both away from heat and sun, but leather specifically benefits from conditioner a few times per season. Take it to professionals who handle both materials for deep cleaning.

How do earflaps work with the bill?

Independent functions. Bill stays put regardless of earflap position. Earflaps up? You've got a leather baseball cap with fur accent. Earflaps down? Full ushanka coverage plus bill protection. The bill provides sun and snow blocking that traditional ushankas don't have.

Fit with earflaps in different positions?

Fits the same either way. 56-61cm head circumference. When earflaps are up, they don't affect crown fit. When down, they add ear coverage but the hat size stays identical. Ties secure them in either position.

Does leather handle cold weather?

Leather works fine in cold. Won't crack if you maintain it with conditioner. The insulated lining prevents direct cold contact against your head. Mink sections provide warmth. Leather sections provide structure. Together they handle winter conditions without issues.

Bill structured or soft?

Structured. Reinforced like a baseball cap bill. Holds shape through use. The leather covering adds durability. Won't flop or lose form. Stays consistent even when earflaps change position.

Will leather show wear faster than fur?

Depends on care. Conditioned leather lasts years. Neglected leather cracks. Brushed fur lasts years. Neglected fur mats. Both require maintenance. The leather crown handles repeated hand contact better than fur would in that position—that's why we use it there.
