The history of the hat-ear

Hat-eared for a Russian man has long been one of the most common winter hats, and foreigners buying it as a souvenir give tribute to Russian history. Hat - U-horn came from Mongolian Malachi. The Mongolian hat was a cone-shaped cap made up of sheepskin.

Such a man's hat was irreplaceable in the winter: its wide openings protected the faces and cheeks of the warriors of the Tatar-Mongol hordes from the wind and blizzards.

Later, the sheepskin lapels of the Malachais began to be cut vertically along the sides, resulting in the "ears" could be tied up with the warming of the weather on the back of the rider.

The hat-ear-hat was called - a hat "Kolchakovka", but it was not fur, she was sewn exclusively from a cloth, and she also had a trumpet, also dressed with a cloth.
