Naval Officer Fur Hat · Black Karakul
Natural black astrakhan naval officer ushanka. Compact profile, dense wave texture, structured shape. Built in Russia. Requires exact head size.
Shape made visible. Pattern made purpose.
This naval officer hat is handcrafted in Russia using natural black astrakhan — a dense lambskin fur with a distinct wave texture. The silhouette follows the standard officer’s profile: square, compact, unobtrusive. The natural pattern of the fur does the talking.
The crown is structured and low, with a leather or suede top selected before checkout. A front flap snaps forward like a visor, adding dimension. The rear flap extends to cover the neck. Earflaps fold neatly up or align with the face when worn down. Inside — quilted black twill for structure and insulation.
Astrakhan is not bulky. It reads as disciplined. Like the form it’s used to complete. Sizing must be precise. Cockade available on request.
