Finnish fur hat, gray, surplus

In the merry year of 1939, the Finnish army came out with a fur hat good and proper. What's even more, it did not look like it came from Soviet Union, but it looked spectacularly Finnish. This hat model was so good that it was retired from active service in the early 2000's. The successor? Same but camouflaged.

The affectionate name for these in the army is elphant pussy. However, worry not, real elephants have not been used to make these for decades - instead these are made of high quality wool, cotton and fake fur.

No cockade included unfortunately, those have probably been picked out one by one by some poor blanket stacker and stored away. All the hats we have are manufactured from the 70's to 90's - a couple even had 1999 printed on the tags!
