Ushankas - Easily the greatest hats ever - General

How about you guys stop talking about fedoras and talk about ushankas like the OP intends you to do.

I love ushankas, I also find girls wearing ushankas very attractive.

[QUOTE=Moose;26777153]says the guy with the fucking anime avatar hipsters are complete bullshit and are a product of england, i blame them for ruining a great american hat[/QUOTE] don't blame england for faggot college kids

i don't understand why people say hipsters wear fedoras? literally the only people i see who wear them are weird nerd metal lovers who just look utterly retarded.

I've got a German sorta Ushanka that I picked up in a military surplus store. Fuck th' Swag thread. This is the [I]real[/I] fashion thread. :c00lbert:

I have an ushanka too, because I lived in Russia not so long ago. It's a great hat to wear in the cold and foldable ear warmers are no match compared to other hats. Though sometimes the fur gets in the ear and it itches, but that's nothing major. Fedoras in winter are useless. The same way ushankas are in summer. Unless you enjoy sweaty head

[QUOTE=WoodenSpoon;26777817]How about you guys stop talking about fedoras and talk about ushankas like the OP intends you to do.[/QUOTE] Yeah honestly. This has nothing to do with fucking fedoras. You can't even compare the two.

there are like three ushankas being traded between me and my friends i forget who bought them in the first place, we just borrow shit from each other and eventually our rooms become a mess of everyone's stuff

I have one, not very useful for actually wearing, tuques or whatever are just fine for cold weather.

[QUOTE=Louis;26777127]Gay as fuck [editline]18th December 2010[/editline] AKA [I]The hipster hat[/I][/QUOTE] I wear one and I am far from a hipster. It is the only piece of clothing that I actually care about. The rest is just stuff that I found on the floor of my room. And as a bonus, it seems to attract females.

[QUOTE=MovingSalad;26779074]Yeah honestly. This has nothing to do with fucking fedoras. You can't even compare the two.[/QUOTE] It's because Ushankas and Fedoras were widely used back then, they were basically the hats of the countries that wore them. Fedoras were the U.S and Ushankas were Russian.

You shank a what?

[QUOTE=Moose;26777153]says the guy with the fucking anime avatar hipsters are complete bullshit and are a product of england, i blame them for ruining a great american hat[/QUOTE] No, fedoras make people look awkward and anti social or like creepers.

I have a Ushanka, It has the Russian Hammer and sickle Badge on it too, :iia:

I got my ushanka at Kohl's... :v:

ITT: Ushankas vs Fedoras

[QUOTE=Moose;26777112][img_thumb]http://codingpad.maryspad.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/fedora_hats.gif[/img_thumb] easily replaced by the fedora, a classier hat[/QUOTE] Cycle of hats Getting classy=Fedora Getting warm=Ushanka Getting cool= propeller hat Getting strange=That big ass hat the queen wears.

i wear the ear flaps down.. anyone else?

[QUOTE=phobia-_-;26777460]I live in Texas, not nearly cold enough for those[/QUOTE] Are you shitting me? It went down to like 34 degrees yesterday!

I'm from Russia and I can say - Ushanka is only hat to choose this winter.

[QUOTE=Zambies!;26779742]Cycle of hats Getting classy=Fedora Getting warm=Ushanka Getting cool= propeller hat Getting strange=That big ass hat the queen wears.[/QUOTE] That's a crown.

Yes, fedoras look cool, they're classy and all that shit. But ONLY if you can pull that shit off. I've seen three seperate pictures of FP users trying to pull a fedora off, they all looked like faggots. It doesn't help when you try coupling them with hoodies. Anyways, Ushankas are pretty legit, and I happen to own one, I live in an area of Canada that has warm summers and fucking cold winters. It's been real cold lately so I'll thank the OP for reminding me I could be wearing mine for extra warmth. [editline]18th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=_Maverick_;26779750]i wear the ear flaps down.. anyone else?[/QUOTE] down and tied for maximum warmth.

[QUOTE=EXoDUSFLT;26779810]Are you shitting me? It went down to like 34 degrees yesterday![/QUOTE] Bahaha, 34 degrees being cold enough for a big furry hat. I'd stick the cutoff point somewhere around 10-15.

Holy shit I gotta get me one o' those.
