I will start with the positives. The materials used for this product are quite good quality. The fake fur feels warm, and the hat is soft and also sturdy, keeping its main shape with flexibility. I also like the features this hat has that makes it special compared to basically any other Lei Feng hat (or ushanka) that I've seen online. Its secondary ear flaps and its mouth guard are very nice features, and the buttons on the hat to attach them are properly placed. This closely resembles the PLA winter hats from the Mao era! All that's missing is the red star that I attached
With that being said, the hat is quite small. It is not a tall hat (the front flap isn't even 10 cm, or 4 inches, tall), and the inside of the hat is quite tight for my head. Also, the stitching of the buttons is not great, as the excess thread on them shows. Above all, this is not worth $25 with $10 shipping. I would not spend more than $20 in total for this item, except this was the only English-language vendor I saw that could easily provide a hat with the accessories unique to PLA hats of the Mao period. I gave 3 stars because it does the job I need and is of decent quality, but it is too pricy and has issues
