✅ PILOTKA CAP: Russian Military Summer Hat
The pilotka, known as the garrison cap in the U.S., is a classic Russian military summer hat. Originally worn by soldiers of the Red Army during World War II, this cap has stood the test of time and continues to be a popular choice today.
✅ MILITARY'S CHOICE
During the summer months, Russian soldiers preferred the pilotka over the heavy winter ushanka. While it is still worn in modern Russia, it is predominantly seen in the Air Force and Navy. The pilotka is a symbol of military tradition and engineering.
✅ SUITABLE FOR ALL
The pilotka is typically made of durable cotton and features camouflage green color with distinctive stripes and insignia, indicating the wearer's specific military branch. The cap's design includes side flaps that drop down to provide protection from rain, wind, and cold. This makes it a versatile accessory, capable of repelling water and maintaining warmth, even when the ear flaps are unfolded.
✅ PERFECT GIFT AND COLLECTIBLE
The pilotka cap is not only a functional accessory but also a great gift for WW2 Russian re-enactors and collectors. Its historical significance and practical design make it a timeless item that combines nostalgia and utility.
