The item is a Dark Brown Ushanka / Winter Fur Hat accessory, designed for minifigures.
Dark Brown Ushanka (Winter Fur Cap) This is a custom brick-built headgear accessory molded in dark brown plastic. It replicates the iconic shape of a Russian Ushanka, a thick fur cap with ear flaps. The design features the characteristic “folded up” look, where the ear flaps are tied or secured to the crown of the hat to expose the ears, creating a rounded, bulky silhouette that suggests heavy insulation.
Background: The Ushanka (derived from ushi, meaning “ears”) is the quintessential winter hat of Russia and the former Soviet Union. Originally made from sheepskin or rabbit fur, it was designed to protect soldiers and civilians from the freezing temperatures of the Eastern Front and the Siberian winter. It was a standard issue item for the Soviet Red Army during WWII and the Cold War. In a LEGO diorama, this accessory is incredibly versatile: it can outfit a Soviet soldier, a post-apocalyptic survivor, a lumberjack, or a civilian in a Winter Village scene.
