Balaclava


The Balaclava hat originated from the Crimean War during the Battle of Balaclava in 1854. The name is derived from a small town near Crimea. During that time, British, French, and Turkish soldiers were trapped in the Balaclava Mountains against Russian forces. The area was very cold, so some soldiers wrapped their heads with wool sweaters, flannel, and other materials to keep warm, leaving only their eyes exposed. They found that the head covering provided excellent warmth retention, so they began knitting this shape with wool and named it Balaclava (Balaclava hat). Therefore, the Balaclava hat was originally a form of wartime protective clothing, used for winter protection and wartime camouflage. It was also considered necessary equipment during World War I and World War II.


After World War II, the Balaclava hat, like many fashion items, was mostly popular in the form of paper patterns, and then customized by tailors or users, regardless of gender, suitable for all ages. The Balaclava hat really came onto the fashion stage in the 1960s, thanks to the initial scale of fashion shows at that time. As for its design, the more beautiful the imagination, the more wonderful the design. After that, the balaclava will still return to the public's vision from time to time.

Later, because it can cover the face well and keep warm, it became a part of skiing equipment, also known as a ski mask.

In addition, the war aesthetic attributes of the balaclava itself cannot be ignored (the Crimean Peninsula is located south of the main part of Ukraine and west of the main part of Russia). In the past two years, the public's nostalgia for post-Soviet culture has actually been influencing fashion culture, and "Russian aesthetics" has also become a source of inspiration for many designers.
