Swiss Winter Hat, Surplus

Price 9.99 USD excluding sales tax

The Swiss army fur hat may not look like it belongs in the mud and misery of battlefields, but it sure does have that easily approachable feel to it. And hey, it's Swiss, so the quality has to be super, right?

The Swiss army fur hat may not look like it belongs in the mud and misery of battlefields, but it sure does have that easily approachable feel to it. And hey, it's Swiss, so the quality has to be super, right?

Did you know the Swiss are the masters of camouflage? They actually constructed lookalike barns, houses and big rocks that, in reality, were hidden positions for huge bloody artillery pieces and such. We suspect this hat is just an extension of this plan - anyone caught wearing this would never be mistaken for a soldier, even if he has a full camouflage outfit, an assault rifle and yells out commands in German!

In all reality, the hat is made of high quality materials and is very practical, too: the outside is grayish blue wool fabric, with fake fur flaps and cotton lining on the inside. The flaps can naturally be fastened under the chin. In addition, the flap you see on the forehead can also be folded down to protect the eyes, and inhibit your vision.

If you need to wash this, it might survive machine wash. Just do it in 30 degrees Celsius and with wool cycle. However we haven't tried this!

Size info

A small note about the sizes. The Swiss saw no need to manufacture these in the normal 1 cm increments. Pick the size you usually wear, and if you fall between sizes, pick the next larger if available. A just slightly relaxed fitting fur hat is much more comfy than a tight one, maybe you can even fit a tube scarf under the hat.

Genuine army surplus

In used, but OK serviceable condition.

A few comments from our employee

This is a right and proper lovely hat. The wool is of superb quality and the features are quite well thought out. I use mine whenever it's cold enough, which is not too often, and when I feel like not caring what people think, which is quite often.

I have never washed my hat, as there hasn't been a need to do so.

I have hats for comuting since if I loose it on the train or bus I am not sad on the price I paid for it. This is a great old school helmit liner that is warm well built and worth the price. Living in an area where it is cold I am always looking for stuff like this. Thanks!

Tää on siis tosi ihana revohka. Sveitsiläinen sarka itsessään on tosi, tosi miellyttävän laadukkaan pörröistä tavaraa ja tämä hattu on suunniteltu aika hyvin. Mä käytän tätä aina kun on tarpeeksi kylmä, eli aika harvoin, ja kun ei ole kovin paskantärkeä olo, eli aika usein.

I bought this for 2 euros in a Hungarian shop a few months ago. For that it's great, for 10 I would not recommend. I like its quirky looks and the ear flaps keep the wind out of your ears. Seems quite durable too, the inner fuzzy lining doesn't disintegrate, I can't even tear a small piece out. However, it's not as warm as I thought (it's kind of thin) and the snap on the chin is hard to fasten when you have gloves on because the inner fuzz tends to partly cover the snap button. The forehead flap will likely get in your eyes at some point. I wear a beanie and a tube scarf under it. I'll probably give it a brush and a wash to fluff it up to make it warmer. These run a bit small for the size number.

Update: I'm quite certain the wash improved its warmth. I adjusted my rating accordingly.

A bit different from the normal type winter hat. But it's nice.

looks good when folded up. Keeps you in a good temperature when folded down.

Could be used under a helmet for bicycling or whatnot.

Only thing i really find annoying is that when it's folded down, the little top notch doesn't stay up but rather fold down, blocking your upper view by just a tiny bit.

Accurate description. Used but ok. Nothing a quick hand wash in cold water with a bit of soap couldn't mend.
Looking forward to the cold winter nights when I'm sleeping outdoorsb with this on my head.

Karvalakiksi aika ohut, mutta mukava ja lämmin lakki. Hyvä pikkupakkasilla ja ihan hyvännäköinenkin, ainakin läpät ylhäällä. Omani ainakin on kuviin verrattuna selvästi rusehtavampi mutta eipä se haittaa. Kannattaa ottaa vähän omaa normaalikokoa suurempi.
