East German Army Winter Hat

Features

1. Genuine NVA Surplus — Authentic cold-weather headgear originally issued to the Nationale Volksarmee (NVA) of the former German Democratic Republic.
2. Ushanka-Style Design — Classic rounded crown with fold-down ear and neck flaps that tie up over the top when not deployed.
3. Gray Wool Felt Shell — Dense wool felt exterior in the standard NVA field gray, built to shed wind and light precipitation.
4. Pile Fur Lining — Thick synthetic pile fur lines the interior crown and flaps for serious insulation in sub-freezing temperatures.
5. NVA Cockade — Front-mounted enlisted cockade in the original DDR national colors, exactly as worn during service.
6. Tie-Up Chin Strap — Integrated cloth ties secure the ear flaps in the up position or cinch them down under the chin in heavy weather.
7. Cold War Era Issue — Pattern used from the 1960s through the late 1980s by East German conscripts and border troops (Grenztruppen).
8. Made in East Germany — Produced in the DDR for military issue, not a modern reproduction.
9. Cold-Weather Field Use — Equally at home on the trapline, ice-fishing shack, or shoveling the driveway at 10 below.
