Holy Effing Motherland!
I probably should have warned everybody from the offset. I’m going to be giving away some ridiculous and awesome hats.
First the sombrero, and now this? Let’s see if this pimp Russian officer’s cap lasts longer than 10 minutes.
I bought this at the county fair in Paso Robles a few years ago from one of those stupid merchant booths. The thick Russian carnie accent and the wide array of horrible clichés for sale almost make up for the fact that none of it is very authentic. I can’t find a “Made in Anything” sticker on this but I’m going to the assume the symbols on the faded patch inside read, “Product of Taiwan.”
Update: This has been claimed by a child of German heritage. What’s the world coming to?

Hahahaha, wtf were you planning on doing with it? I can totally see the need for a sombrero, but this? Though you do look sort of Russian–ish in it. But still!
Oh man, I don’t know. I think you’ve either got to go around oppressing the people, wielding a 3/4 empty bottle of Stoli, or just put it on and act like nothing is out of the ordinary.
haha this is awesome
