Collection: Trapper & Ushanka Hats

Ushanka Hat, Trapper and Aviator Styles

An ushanka hat is built around ear flaps that fold up against the crown or down over the ears, and this collection pairs mink ushankas with fox trappers and aviator hats. Kashani makes most of them, with two Jakewood aviators and a natural red fox aviator rounding out the selection. The range is cut mainly for men, with one women's fox trapper included.

Kashani's mink ushanka trappers come in black, burgundy, cognac, grey and white. Each fur trapper hat in natural arctic fox or natural red fox has a fuller, longer-haired look, and the women's version combines red fox with lambskin. Kashani also makes a chinchilla aviator. The shearling aviators, in chocolate brown, cognac, olive green and tan suede from Kashani plus one from Jakewood, are sheepskin with the wool left on rather than mink or fox. Jakewood adds a quilted brown aviator.

A mink trapper hat in black or grey works with a wool overcoat or a shearling jacket and stays neat enough for the office. Fox trappers suit weekends and the coldest days, paired with a parka or a plain down jacket. Shearling aviators look right with a leather bomber and jeans. Philadelphia wind in January is reason enough to keep the flaps down.

FAQ

What is the difference between an ushanka and a trapper hat?

The terms overlap, and both describe a hat with ear flaps that fold up or down. We use the names exactly as the product titles do, so the mink styles are listed as ushanka trappers and the fox styles as trappers.

Is shearling the same as fur?

Shearling is sheepskin with the wool left on, so it differs from mink, fox or chinchilla fur. The shearling aviators here are genuine sheepskin.

How should I store a fur hat in summer?

Keep it somewhere cool and dark in a breathable bag, never sealed in plastic. Leave cleaning to a fur specialist.
