Dark Graphite Mink Fur Hood with a Wide Black Jersey Wrap

Mink Headscarfs & Fur Hoods

A hooded hat in deep graphite mink with a cool blue cast, sitting on broad black jersey that covers the neck and spreads over the shoulders. Mink runs over the whole head, sides and back, and the face edge is plain fur. Nothing decorative is added. One size, rated to around −20°C, sewn by hand in Ukraine.

Graphite above, black below, nothing extra.

Dark Graphite Mink With a Blue Undertone

This graphite is darker than charcoal and cooler than brown-black. In daylight the mink shows a blue, almost ink-navy sheen; indoors it settles into a deep slate grey. That cool depth is what keeps the hood from looking heavy next to the black wrap: the fur reads softer and more alive than the fabric, so the face stays framed rather than swallowed. It suits cool winter palettes of black, grey, navy and white.

A Hooded Fur Hat on a Wide Black Wrap

The jersey below the fur is wider than a scarf. It closes around the throat, covers the collarbones and drapes over the shoulders, and two tails let you wrap or knot it. With a dark coat, hood and wrap merge into one clean outline, which is why this piece looks so calm and urban. The same black jersey lines the hood, smooth against the hair.

Full Mink for Real Frost

Because mink covers the crown and nape in one surface, there are no seams of fabric for cold to slip through, and it stays comfortable to about −20°C. The wide wrap blocks wind at the chest, a place most hats leave open. On the coldest, windiest days, add gloves and you are set. For a lighter mink piece in a similar tone, see our mink berets.

Sizing

Graphite, one size. The jersey stretches to fit most adult heads, and wrapping the tails sets how close it sits at the neck.

Questions People Ask

Graphite or navy: what is the real fur shade?

Graphite, with a cool blue undertone. In bright daylight or under a flash that undertone shows strongly, so the fur can look almost ink-navy. In ordinary indoor light it reads as deep slate grey. Both are true views of the same fur. Next to the black jersey it always looks a shade lighter and bluer.

Suede-striped graphite model versus this one?

The striped model has black suede stripes between mink bands and a long scarf, so it's lighter and rated to about −15°C. This one is solid mink over the whole head on a wide black jersey wrap, which makes it warmer, around −20°C, and plainer in look. The fur here is also darker, with a stronger blue sheen.

Would it be right for a funeral in cold weather?

Yes. It leaves head and neck fully covered, carries no decoration and keeps to dark, quiet tones, so it looks respectful at a funeral, a memorial service or a cemetery visit in the cold. Wear it with a black or charcoal coat and plain gloves. In a warm hall, simply let it rest down around the neck.

Will the black jersey show fluff and dust?

Some, as any black fabric does. Light lint and stray hairs show on the jersey more than on the fur. A lint roller fixes it in seconds; use it on the fabric only, never on the mink. Store the hood in a cotton cover so it stays clean between wears, and keep it apart from light-colored wool scarves.

What makeup works with a dark mink frame?

Something with a bit of warmth or definition. Dark fur around the face makes bare skin look paler, so a touch of blush or bronzer helps. Berry, plum and red lips look striking against blue-graphite; nude lips work if the eyes are defined. Silver earrings suit the cool fur better than gold.

How do I wear the wide wrap on a windy day?

Cross the jersey under the chin, wrap both tails once around the neck and tuck them inside the coat. The wide panel then shields the chest and throat, and the hood can't blow back. In calm weather, leave the tails loose over the shoulders for a softer drape. Either way, the mink stays in place on the head.

Snow on dark mink: how do I dry it?

Shake the hood gently outdoors to drop loose snow, then let it dry over a hat form at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or put it near a radiator, which can stiffen the skin. Once completely dry, shake it again and run a soft brush along the pile so the fur lies smooth.

Can I wear it with jeans and a puffer jacket?

Yes, and it looks good. A plain dark hood without trim isn't fussy, so it sits naturally on a black puffer, a parka or a quilted jacket with jeans and boots. It adds polish to a casual outfit without looking overdressed. Keep the puffer's own hood down behind the shoulders so the mink isn't pressed flat.
