cyborg421 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi All,I am looking for a warm hat for astronomy, and, from what I can read, Ushankas are the way to go. Does anyone have experience of faux fur Ushankas as opposed to real rabbit in terms of functionality? I would probably prefer to go for faux fur but then Russian rabbits have a few thousand years of surviving Russian winters behind them.Any help/links for good Ushankas or suppliers would be most appreciated.Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianb Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Faux fur will do fine in the UK .... real fur is better if you're intending to visit Siberia, and sable is better than rabbit.Googling "ushanka" will get you a good source in the UK.

Astro_Baby Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I keep meaning to get one but never seem to get round to it. I want a pukka one though - rabbit fur AND a red star on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
