This one is medium sized could be worn by a woman or a man (if his head isn't too big). It is a bit stretchy. This style of ear warmer was fairly common in the 30's 40's and these were frequently sent to the front. It does have a little storage wear dirt and should probably be gently handwashed before using. The top straps have some extra room so it could be "taken out" and lengthen a bit.
