WAXED COTTON CAP

Customer Reviews

It's great Review by Lloyd

Overall

I just got my "waxed" Stormy Kromer hat. Now I have my wool for winter and a waxed for the fair weather. It's great! Thank you Kristen for your prompt and helpful service. You're the best!

Another great product from a great company. Review by Robert

Overall

I live in Ohio and am the proud owner of 4 Original Kromer’s. Before my discovery of Kromer’s, I was a guy who wasn’t thrilled with cold weather. No, I’m not being melodramatic. I now really enjoy bundling up and wearing my hats. Unlike northern Michigan however, I don’t have the extended winters to wear them as much as I’d like.

When faced with spring on the horizon, I realized that I’d have to store my originals for another year. That’s when I started looking for alternatives. I noticed the wax cotton, but kept putting off buying one. I hadn’t seen one in person, and didn’t want to pay full price for something I wasn’t familiar with. One day while surfing the net, I found one at a great sale price. Even with shipping, it was still cheaper than the typical cost of the item. At that point I impulsively made the purchase.

While I wouldn’t trade my originals for anything, I can’t say enough good things about this one. If asked to recommend only one for all around versatility, comfort, and style, the waxed cotton would be my first choice. Some people call this a three season hat. In my opinion, it can be worn all year. This hat is perfect for cold weather activities when you don’t intend to remain outside for extended periods. Even then, it’s great for temps above 30 degrees.

Over the shorter term, wind and precipitation are your biggest enemies in the winter. This hat is excellent for both. When you go indoors however, you can leave it on and just wear it all day. You can do that with the originals too, but they won’t carry you through the late spring and summer like the waxed cotton.

All in all, this is another versatile and winning product from Stormy Kromer. I salute Bob Jacquart. While Kromer’s have always been great products, the Jacquart family is the best shot in the arm they could’ve ever gotten. Jacquart fabrics combined with the history of the Kromer cap, is a match made in heaven. It’s like they were custom made for each other. This company has been elevated by a dozen notches. On sale or not, you can’t go wrong with this hat.

MY FIRST KROMER Review by George

Overall

it's all been said above...fit like a glove off the shelf, keeps my head warm. I've wanted one of these for years, shame on Me for not doing it sooner! Will be getting a couple of blaze orange Kromers before next hunting season...one for Me, one for my hunting buddy from Ohio...(Is it OK for Buckeyes to wear a Michigan made Kromer?)

This thing fit like a glove right off the shelf! I love the waxed cotton for it's appearance and ability to shed water and wind. Great all around hat for fishing, hunting and hanging out! Another A+ for Stormy... (Posted on 10/22/12)

Great hat Review by Chap

Overall

I've been a Filson guy for decades.....SK makes a great product! Went on a pike/muskie trip on the Tahquamenon River with heavy rain showers every hour.....my bald head was warm and dry. (Posted on 9/27/12)

Great hat for warmer days Review by Rick

Overall

I bought one of these in tan a few years ago for warm weather hunting. A rugged and durable hat that sheds water like a duck. Of course I had to get another one for the pheasant fields when I found it in blaze orange .

I've been converted! Review by Billy

Overall

This cap is so comfortable, and it fits like it was broken in the moment I put it on. I'm typically not a hat person but I believe this cap is going to convert me to a cap person. I've only had it for a day and I feel it coming on ........ as my favorite head gear! (Posted on 7/24/12)
