Mink Headscarfs & Fur Hoods
This fox fur hat for women is cut as a full hood: smooth white mink covers the crown, sides and nape, and a deep arctic fox trim with silvery grey tips frames the face. A silver-grey jersey scarf runs through the hood and ends in fluffy white fox pompons. Universal size, warm to about −20°C, handmade in Ukraine.
Snow-white mink, a frosted fox halo.
Two Furs, Two Jobs
The mink does the quiet work: short, dense and smooth, it keeps the head warm without bulk and gives the hood a neat rounded back. The fox does the show. Its long guard hairs stand out around the face in a soft halo, white at the base with grey-silver tips, and they block wind at the cheeks and forehead far better than short fur. Together they give a hood that looks dramatic from the front and calm from behind.
Fox Fur Trim That Shields the Face
The trim sits slightly away from the skin, so the long hairs brush the air rather than your face, and snow lands on the tips instead of on your cheeks. That is why fox has traditionally been used around hoods in the far north. With full mink behind it, this hood holds warmth to around −20°C. For a hat with earflaps instead, look at our ushankas.
Silver Jersey and Fox Pompons
The scarf is a soft silver-grey jersey with a light sheen, which echoes the grey tips in the fox and stops the white from feeling cold. Fluffy white fox pompons weigh down its ends, so they hang straight and sway as you walk. The same fabric is used as lining, soft on the hair. Grey, black, navy and white coats suit it best. For a smaller fur accent, see our mink berets.
Sizing
White is the one color; the size fits most adults. Stretch in the jersey and the wrap of the scarf adjust the fit.

Questions People Ask
Where does the silver shading on the trim come from?
Arctic fox fur often has darker tips on its long guard hairs, so the white base shades into silvery grey toward the ends. On this hood that creates a frosted halo around the face. It ties in with the silver-grey jersey below and keeps the all-white look from feeling flat or stark.
Does the fox trim tickle the face?
Very little. The long hairs stand outward from the face opening rather than lying across the cheeks, so they frame the face without constant contact. In wind they may brush the skin lightly, and it feels soft rather than itchy. Shorter hairs near the base keep the edge itself gentle on the skin.
Does fox at the face add real warmth?
At the face, yes. The long fox hair breaks the wind before it reaches the cheeks and forehead, which is where you feel cold first. Over the head, warmth comes from the mink, which covers the crown and nape completely. Together they make this hood comfortable to about −20°C, with noticeably better wind protection.
How do I care for the fox trim?
Shake the hood gently after each wear so the long hairs fall back into place. If they get damp from snow, let them dry naturally at room temperature, then shake again. Never brush fox against the grain or use a hairdryer. Store the hood loosely so the trim isn't squashed, and leave deep cleaning to a professional each season.
Do long fox hairs come loose?
A few loose hairs can appear in the first wears, as with any long fur; they settle quickly. Shake the hood outdoors before putting it on for the first time. Mink and well-dressed fox don't shed in normal use. On a dark coat, a lint roller removes any stray white hairs in seconds.
Does the white hood suit dark hair?
Beautifully. Dark hair against white fur gives strong, striking contrast, and the frosted fox ends soften the transition. Blondes and silver-haired women get a softer, luminous look. Whatever your hair color, wear a little blush or lipstick on cold days, since bright white near the face can make bare skin look pale.
Is it a good choice for a ski resort or Lapland trip?
An excellent one. The fox trim protects the face from wind and snow, the mink keeps the head warm, and the white and silver look superb in snowy photos. For time on the slopes wear a helmet instead, but for village walks, husky rides or northern lights evenings, it's ideal.
Fox-trimmed or plain white mink: which to buy?
The all-mink white hoods have a clean, close edge around the face and fabric scarves in prints or beige. This one adds a voluminous arctic fox trim with grey tips and fox pompons, so it looks much fuller and more dramatic, and gives better wind protection at the face. Choose it if you want a statement piece.
