Hollis | Men's Faux Fur Cotton Ushanka

This ushanka hat brings warmth and old-world charm to the coldest mornings.

The Hollis is a winter hat built the way a proper ushanka should be: a faux leather crown, a soft cotton lining, and generous faux fur flaps that fold down over the ears when the wind picks up or tie up on top when they don't. My mother Evelyn always says a good winter hat is one you forget you're wearing, and this one earns that compliment. It sits with just the right amount of structure, never too snug, never slipping back on the head, with an adjustable chin strap that keeps it steady whether you're walking the dog or waiting for the bus.

Why You'll Love It

• Faux fur lining: traps warmth around the ears and crown without any bulk or weight
• Faux leather shell: sheds light snow and wind, and keeps its shape wear after wear
• Adjustable chin strap: holds everything comfortably in place, even on blustery days

Perfect For

The Hollis earns its keep from the first frost through the depths of winter. Wear it on morning errands, for a walk around the neighbourhood, or tucked into a coat pocket for the drive to visit family. It pairs naturally with a wool coat or a quilted jacket, and the ear flaps mean you can leave the scarf at home on all but the harshest days. It is equally at home on a city sidewalk or at the cottage, wherever the cold settles in for the season.

Is the fit forgiving? Yes. The adjustable chin strap lets you loosen or snug the hat to your own head, so there's no guessing involved and no feeling of pressure across the forehead.

Does the colour suit everyday wear? Both brown and black are easy, classic choices that sit well with most winter coats already in the closet, so you can reach for whichever one is closer to the door.

What does it look best with? A longer wool or quilted coat lets the proportions of the hat read properly, and the faux fur flaps echo nicely against a fleece scarf or leather gloves.
