I actually got an ushanka (original from Moscow, 1983) for Christmas today. Couldn't quite figure out how to get the badge on, thanks товарищ from a clueless 14 year old girl.
I ordered one but when it arrived it was black instead of grey so I sent it back and they gave me two hats in return. One like this and one that is a blue grey.
I have no problem wearing mine in public. No ones ever said anything, But if they did I'd give em a piece of my mind for sure. Ushankas beat wearing a thin snow cap with a round fluff on top haha !
I wear this in public lol I live in Canada very up north it's always snows here many ppl just give me a weird look this man came and said commie and walked away lol my teacher is like very nice hat and whispers to me I'm a communist to and walks away LOL
When i used to puch shopping carts in the winter i'd wear mine, badge and all. only comments i ever got were positive. had a couple co-workers comment saying, "wow that's a real russian hat" and an older couple in the parking lot stopped me and asked me about it. the husband wanted to show his wife. he said, "benn a while since you've seen that symbol, huh?" Turns out they were both from russia. He asked if i was russian, and when we were done he shook my hand and left.

I just did mine and then came across this video. I am agreement mostly; but, you must measure. Precision in what we do is important. 1)I centered it and marked with a pin and a black marker. 2) I drilled using a bit about the size of that nail, yes, you need to "wallow" the bit or nail around in the hole. 3)Make sure that both pin/wires are tight together as to go through the hole as one, and fold them accordingly. If the emblem does not appear centered after you measured, adjust the emblem to the right, left, up or down; it may be off center because of the pressing of the emblem and wire made it off center. By all means wear it in public with the emblem; fuck what others think, and buy yourself an AK-74, or AKM with the bayonet which is costly, at least a Makarov. Good luck.
I have a navy blue ushanka with the Russian Navy Emblem (Cockade(Sorry if I misspelled it. I'm learning Russian.) Please let me know if you know how to spell it correctly) on it & I only wear it as a fashion accessory & I tell my friends & family "Please touch the fur; But NOT the emblem b/c the oil from your skin will make the emblem dull & it won't be shiny, sparkly & pretty anymore if you touch it" But I let them touch the fur to see & feel how soft and plush it is. I love wearing it around fall & winter where I live in New England in Connecticut & everyone gives me lots of respect & nice compliments on my ushanka. I tell "This is a wool baby, It's not like a cheap cotton piece of crap/junk that was made in cheap China; No, No, No! This was made in Mama/Mother Russia!" "The Hunt For Red October" was probably 1 of the things that sparked my obsession with Genuine Russian Ushankas. I also have another navy blue ushanka & it has the soviet union emblem. I personally like to wear it without the soviet union emblem so that I don't offend anyone.
I noticed some scratches along your arm. Are you Seminole because my friend is and his grandma gives him the tutu punishment(its where they run a needle along ur arm)
I live in Germany, so I normally wear the hat without the pin. That is, until a German stopped me and asked if it was Russian and where I got it, and he was totally into it
I have a beautiful East German VolksPolizei one, I prefer the D.D.R. one to the Russian one because it's made better..same rabbit fur but on East German ones you don't have to tie the ear muffs..They have a button design on them and you simply button the strap to the up or when you unbutton and pull the muffs down over your ears it buttons around your chin. :D Russian ones just have laces you tie DX. It's been so cold I been wearing it at work when I go out.
I wish that front flap could fold down so I could have a flat surface to measure and stab at properly. Every website says the pin is not attached to the hat for convenience, but it would be more convenient if they applied it for me. I thought there would be a hole in the hat so you could attach whatever pin you want, but the fact that there isn't and you have to do the whole thing yourself is just frustratingly difficult.
I have to do this with my field cap that I'm putting a DDR pin on. I wish I didn't have to put a hole in it but it really seems I got no other choice considering it's a screw kind of pin.
whats so bad about wering it with the symbole around town? i were mine all the time when it comes to winter. also, which is the authentic vertion, becuse i want one which is standers issiw for officers, there so ment whigh browns oring vertions i can't cut themn down. anybost know which of the hats where worn by officers?
I wear mine with badge and all , Chinese and soviet ones , and people usually ask and I gladly share the meaning of it , never any bad comments that or people usually think its a gag and kinda smile
i just got mine and its feels like im wearing a fur blanket i can go outside naked with that hat on and il feel warm. o ya btf spartan you dont have to put two holes in the hat if you put the 2 pins together then bend them. i prefer one hole so it will you dont see two big holes in the front if you remove the soviet sign
Still cant get the pin on. My problem is there is around 3 different layers inside of the hat that move around and when ever i poke the hole and go to put the pin in they move and i can only get it through the first outside hole >.
Good jobs dude. If my budget work out Im buying on. I dont care what people think around town. I love anything military and police. As well as anything russian or geraman in that hobby. I would like to see you do more videos like this. I like your sence of humor. Good luck.
I'm Irish And I Have A Black Mutton Fur And Black Leather Ushanka… I Got It For $60.00 Direct From Russia… I Got The Soviet Army General Badge So It's Fairly Noticeable, I Didn't Put The Badge In Though Cause I Was Going To Kraków A Few Weeks Later And I Didn't Want To Get Arrested Or Murdered (Ex USSR) :-\ Anyway I Love It! :D
spoke1183 the thing is that in America people are paranoid as hell these days and will flag you for wearing military stuff, it’s really stupid. All that is accepted is that crappy north face stuff that costs upwards of $300+ for winter stuff. I think for one if you don’t wear the norm, your not supporting the costly name brands and so capitalism ain’t happy and second, 9/11 made noobs paranoid too.
I poke a hole in the front and hope it's small enough that the pin stays, but not too small. Also I think the Russians juked be because one of the strings unraveled causing the ear flaps to go down.

I never take my pin out
@Quackulation is there a way to find the same hole and reattach it?
@Quackulation can’t I send it back to the seller and ask them if they can put it back?
@Quackulation yep I got it back in. I made a new hole exactly where I last saw it originally had its hole.

I can tell from your ushanka that it is cold war era, and is indeed soviet made. Very cool, I respect that.
is it possible to take out the insignia and holes not being visible?
