What is the fur thing that is like a headband called in Russia?

Re: Alina

A hat? You mean those big furry hats (made with rabbit, mink or fox fur)? And then they unfold from the top to cover the ears. Otherwise, I don't think we wear any other fur on our head. I have never seen headbands from fur.

I think if you want white, it would almost always have to be rabbit, which is a bit cheaper than mink

Re: Alina

Ok, so if its a band, is the top of your head then uncovered? I have no clue what its called. I don't remember ever having ear muffs in Russia. But that's what I would call it.

Re: Alina

Re: Alina

I have no idea I just never wore it, and I kept saying to myself this winter when I was freezing my butt off ' I have to wear my headband' I never did lol

Re: Alina

maybe wear it if you go to Alaska cruise. I have actually been searching for the hat, but don't want to pay full price... So the search may continue for a while.
