Malakhai - what is this element of the wardrobe?

Fashion always looks with interest in the past, borrows from it long-forgotten elements and offers the public in a new reading. Initially, malakay was understood as a wide caftan worn without a belt. Such caftans were part of both male and female wardrobes. The name of the hat-malachai arose from the analogy: the cap of Kirghiz and Buryats with long fluttering details covering their ears, resembled Russian caftan-razletayku. Thus, both a free top dress, and a winter hat with a fur hat are all malakhai. The meaning of the word as a piece of clothing has not changed. However, he also has a figurative meaning. The occasion was the design features of the swinging dress and three flying blades that distinguish the hat-malahai. The meaning of the word in this interpretation was applied when one wanted to say about a person that he or very open, as they say, the soul for plowing, or simply razzyav. Now this is not the way to talk. Now malachai is only a hat with earflaps and a variant of an ancient caftan. Both articles of the wardrobe are deservedly popular.

Male Malachay

A man in malachay is very brutal. It is no coincidence that this type of headgear was for a long time an accessory of military uniforms. For the army he was sewn from sheepskin. The aviators were leather, and the polar explorers flaunted in large fluffy malachies of wolf or dog fur with the same boots on their feet - looked very beautiful and manly.

A warm hat malachai is a universal and very comfortable hat. Sweeping ears at the lower ends have braids, with which they can be tightly connected under the chin, then no frost is feared. If you tie them, lifting them to the crown, the headpiece will appear in a lightened version. Malachai is a hat with a visor that can be round or rectangular. Rectangular is usually attached to the top with a few stitches. Sometimes there is no visor. Malakhai is, in fact, a hat with a fur hat. In the 1970s, the "snag" model came into fashion - imitation of malachi with raised ears - more economical, but completely without wearing options.

Female Malachay

Female malachay is a flirtatious ear-flap, most often of fluffy sable fur, raccoon, black-brown or red fox, Arctic fox. A slender girl in such a headdress, tight-fitting short sheepskin coat and high-heeled boots looks extremely feminine and extremely effective. Modern fashionable fur malachai is a voluminous cap, and to look harmonious, it should be worn with clothes cut exactly according to the figure, neutral color and smooth texture.

Universality of Malachi

Sometimes malachi are sewn entirely from one material, but are often combined. On the inside of the blades that turn outward, there is one material, for example, fur, and on the head - leather, suede, cloth, knitwear, corduroy, etc. Both female and male malachays are very beautiful from short fur, for example mink or ferret . Such a headgear, if it fits in size, is suitable for both women and men. Sable or from another fluffy Malachai fur complement the tail, sewn from behind, pompoms. Such a product fits very nicely in different styles of clothing. It will be appropriate in the kit and kazhual, and in the sports. Tied on the back of the head, such a cap even has the name - Malakhai "on-ski", it does not cover the athlete's review and at the same time tightly sits on the head. Knitted earflap with bright and beautiful ornament will be good with a short jacket and jeans, you can pick up the same leggings, scarf and gloves. A hat with flying long ears looks very boring and even reckless.

What a Russian winter without malachai and boots? Designers of fashionable clothes understand this and create modern, beautiful and comfortable models. Even the German police not so long ago included a cap with earflaps in a standard set of clothes, which caused a storm of controversy and indignation, they say, it is not possible for Germans to wear a uniform cap of soldiers of the Soviet Army.
