Hello,

Does anyone know what we call a hat that is worn in winter, covers ears, and can be tied under the chin.
I always associate this type of hat with Russian soldiers as they wear such hats.

If anyone remembres a video of Elton John singing the song called "Nikita', the girl in the video wore the hat which the name I'm looking for.

thanks for any help.
