Ushankas - Easily the greatest hats ever

[FuhFuhFresh]

If you've ever seen any videos of people in Russia, or played TF2 extensively, you've seen this hat before. This is a Ushanka, obviously.

Now, in this thread, your stance on Communism and what have you doesn't matter. This is about the hat. (The Little insignia is removable, so don't panic if you're afraid of a little symbolism.)

You see, for the past few weeks, the weather has been going up and down between freezing and sort of freezing, and the beanie I used to wear simply wasn't keeping me warm enough. So I googled "What is the warmest winter hat", and the results all said 'Ushankas'.

Curious, I then googled Ushanka, and found several online stores that sell them, like the obviously named ushanka.com and ushanka.net, and upon a little bit of research, I decided to buy one.

The shipping came pretty quickly despite the fact that I live in a differant country from their warehouse in NY, and as soon as I put my new hat on, I felt immediately more comfortable and warm, even when I went outside to clear the ice from the driveway. Also, I let a friend of mine wear it when we went outside for a smoke and she gave me a kiss. :buddy:

I honestly recommend you buy one of these. The one in the picture there is the one I bought, and it was 30 bucks with an extra 5 shipping to Canada, though shipping is free to the U.S.

I wish it got cold enough in California to justify the purchase of one.

[Siminov]

I have an East German one, they are quite useful on cold days.

fedoras are only hipster if they're thin-brimmed. hipsters don't have the balls to wear the widebrimmed fedoras because the mob will come back to life just to end their pitiful existence and they fucking know it.

[QUOTE=BrQ;26777173]you look like a massive faggot when you wear that[/QUOTE]

not when you have a classy suit to go along with it, then it fits in just fine

better than wearing all that dumb low jean shit anyway

I agree 100%, people will deny it but I feel it's the truth, at least for most of the people in this thread.

This will only go well with a pinstripe suit

Hey you started the argument buddy I'm just jumping in to tell you off.

People in my state wear Ushankas all the time, just with the flaps down.

[lead_farmer]

You should not wear a fedora unless you are always wearing a nice suit.

Otherwise you look like a hipster.

And you derailed the thread even more, bravo.

except people here don't wear suits everytime they walk out the door (if that happens at all), and fedoras are not there to keep you warm

[Moose]

and if you're a lanky guy then i'd get a nice a long coat to go over the suit to compensate

hey man i like leather jackets and fine suits, both are practical

[Prismatex]

Naw, he wears the cheap Korean ripoff of the ushanka.
