Ushanka Hats  The Russian ushanka (уша́нка) originated in the
Russian Army as a fur cap with ear flaps that can be tied up to
the crown of the cap, or tied at the chin to protect the ears
from the cold. Ushanka means "ear-flaps hat", from "ushi"
(у́ши), "ears" in Russian. They are usually distinguished by
their flat tops and long ear flaps. These Fur Russian hats have
become more and more popular all over the world and are now very
recognizable and fashionable. Although identified with Russians,
they are also a part of winter uniforms for military and police
in other cold climates, such as Finland and Canada.
