Eh? They’re all over the place. I have just dug out my old rabbit fur and waxed cotton Mad Bomber. Total overkill for the UK, but oh so nice.

Frankly I don't wear much else but those Ray Mears possum things, of which we musy have a dozen, the kids loving them so.
But I would give another vote for a Radar jeep cap.

Although I have a selection of too many hats, if I was restricted to one I would go for the Lowe mountain cap due to its versatility with the flexible peak and the foldaway ear pieces. It is also easy to wash. I have an original and the gore tex version not much difference between them.
Did you look at the Peruvian chullo?
I'm a product of many, many Canadian winters. Three-day blizzards and weeks of -40C.
I understand winter from farmer parents.
The best of the best have to be the chullo, both thick and thin.
I get dressed to go out in the cold, stupidos ask me if I'm cold. Not.

If a certain style is needed: https://www.varusteleka.fi/fi/product/venalainen-karvahattu-neukkukokardilla/60832
The red star is optional, I believe.

Polyester, so will be perfect in the British rain!
If I wore the Red Star, my immediate ancestors, specially grand father, would spin in his grave soooo badly.....
The Finnish or Swedish cockade is much nicer.
An Ushanka ( Ear hat) needs to have a cockade.

Maybe more suitable for the average Brit winter?
That Finnish site have some exceptional stuff!
I think that one is Austrian, some people says it is actually quite good if somewhat military look.
Many here look the Tactical look.
I think an ushanka might be to warm for England.
I have two in that style, both animal base, and can only use them on cold Arctic days.
You can always put a civilian looking cockade / something on it.

I like thisStormy Kromer.
Wax cotton available as well. The wool version is my favourite.
When I worked as a welder we all had Kromer caps we wore backwards so the peak stopped the spatter/sparks from going down the back of our necks.Stormy Kromer.

Theres a kind of tradition that means all those Kromer welders hats are absolutely wazzy colours, flowery acid patterns, polkadots, flags and so on.
I suspect its come from the American patterned seed sack dress days but I have no proof so not sure.
I still have one kicking about somewhere. Wazzy Kromer hat, not a seed sack dress. Ahem.
Mine have usually been closer to the middle one, subtle they aint.Subtle ?
Honestly, its kind of a tradition amongst welders.
