Product Features & Information
WHERE ARE STORMY KROMER PRODUCTS MADE?
The vast majority of our products are proudly manufactured in the U.S. with the finest materials from all over the world. While the majority of our cut and sew operations are at our home facility in Ironwood, Michigan, we also partner with several contract manufacturers around the country – from the Midwest to New England to the Carolinas. For special instances where we are not able to find a domestic partner for a particular product, we look for factories that share our commitment to quality and to treating employees like family. To learn more about our manufacturing and sourcing processes, click here. To see how a hat comes together, check out our factory tour video or learn more about our free factory tour.
HOW DOES THE EARBAND WORK?
You might not need instructions to wear your Stormy Kromer masterpiece, but there is a right way and a wrong way. The right way involves putting the cap on your head, grabbing the earband on both sides and pulling down. There’s no unfolding or flipping of the flaps, and you don’t have to take the hat off to use them. Just pull down and settle in. They’ll stay in place without pinching.
Care & Cleaning
HOW SHOULD I CLEAN MY WOOL STORMY KROMER CAP?
We don’t mean to get all fancy on you, but wool is dry-clean only. You’re a person of discriminating taste (otherwise you wouldn’t have picked up a stylish Stormy Kromer cap), so when you buy wool, you know that means special care. If you wash your cap or wool garments – even by hand – they will shrink or become misshapen. We also have a partnership with an eco-friendly dry cleaning alternative called eClean, which you can learn more about here.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY WOOL STORMY KROMER CAP GETS WET?
Did you know that wool can absorb 30% of its weight in water? Our caps take on a lot of water before they feel damp. If it should happen to get soaked in the rain, just set it down out of direct sunlight and away from a heat source and it will dry out just fine.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER STORMY KROMER PRODUCTS?
Because many of our products contain wool, they are often dry clean only. Each product is different though, so be sure to check the care instructions for each and every product. Or contact our Customer Service team by email, phone 888-455-2253, or live chat.

Sizing
WHY DO YOU SELL SIZED CAPS?
Our six-panel construction paired with our custom sizes gives you a fit like no other. No adjustable straps, snaps or buckles, just pure, head-protecting comfort.
HOW DO I FIGURE OUT MY CAP SIZE?
To get your size, measure around your head in the spot where a cap would rest with a soft tape measure. Take that number in inches and divide by 3.14 (pi). Round up to the nearest eighth to get your size. See the chart below for size conversions. For even more help, check out this video.
Stormy Kromer caps are designed to be snug. This was, after all, one of George and Ida's initial design goals - to design a cap that stays put when the winter wind blows. Your cap stays put and the pulldown earband does its best work with a snugger fit. If that's an issue for you, you may want to consider going up a size.

Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty
DOES MY CAP HAVE A GUARANTEE?
The Stormy Kromer Lifetime Guarantee program started in 2010, when we began sewing a unique serial number into each cap. If you purchased a Stormy Kromer cap with a serial number and it wears out due to poor workmanship, faulty material, or production defects, we'll replace it free of charge. For all the details, including how to start the process of getting your new cap, click here.
WHAT IS THE STORMY KROMER INSURANCE POLICY?
Your new cap comes with more than a comfortable fit and rugged good looks, it also features a little protection for your peace of mind. Register your Stormy Kromer cap with its unique serial number found on the white label inside your cap. If it is lost, stolen or destroyed within three years of the date of purchase, we will replace it at 50% of the current catalog price, plus applicable shipping and taxes. No questions asked. (Limited edition caps are, well, limited, so there aren't necessarily any available for replacement. We're awfully sorry about that. When redeeming your policy on limited edition caps, you may choose a cap of similar value.) To put this free insurance policy into effect, register online or mail in the form attached to your cap's hangtag. To use your insurance policy, call our Customer Service team at 888-455-2253. This policy is limited to a one-time replacement.
