ushanka

Russian ear-flap hat

A ushanka is a Russian fur hat with ear flaps that can be tied up on the crown or fastened under the chin for warmth.

The design became iconic through its use in the Soviet military and remains associated with Russian winter wear: He pulled down the flaps of his ushanka against the bitter cold.
