Original East German NVA army winter hat. Grey military ushanka hat with badge

Received correct hat this time. However, it has missing bits of fur along the edges and fits more like a size 60 despite labeled as 58. It is also too soft and not as sturdy compared to infantry ones. Marking does not have the strip of plastic shielding like usual NOS but looks unused. Shipping also took significantly longer as it was sent to the UK for some reason, returned to Lithuania, then resent here.

Ordered the MDI/Officer's gabardine shell ushanka but to my surprise sent a grey felt NVA one. Despite the difference, it meets expectations. Ordered another MDI with fingers crossed.

Hat is perfect, seller was extremely helpful.

Luv it. Very warm, unique, quality hat.

My daughter wears this hat everyday and gets lots of compliments.
