Well... decided to try something different with a new hat for a mate. He gave me a nice black Burgundian jacket which I can use as it's intended, or Russian style as well.
So... his colours are Black, Red and White, and I wanted to use all of them in the hat. I could have done a red hat, with white embroidery and black fur, but thought to try something different.
I ended up doing some embroidery on some black strips, then sewed them down onto the seams where I would normally do the embroidery, and added some black fox fur. Quite happy with the result, and suits him well as he doesn't have a Viking persona, but a Russ one so it works better for him than it would a Viking. All in all I am very happy with it, and he absolutely loves it.
