The Mackinaw Rancher Cap

The Mackinaw Rancher uses premium 26-ounce, 100% wool from American Woolen Company while keeping the same proven Rancher design. It also uses shearling to line the earbands instead of fleece.

The Mackinaw Rancher is one of the warmest caps we make. It combines premium 26-ounce, 100% wool with Thinsulate™ insulation in the crown and shearling-lined earbands for exceptional warmth in the coldest winter conditions. If you spend long days outdoors in extreme cold, this cap was built for it.

The crown of the Mackinaw Rancher is lined with soft cotton flannel and features a comfortable polycotton sweatband, so there is no wool against your forehead. The pull-down earbands, however, are lined with shearling, which naturally contains wool. If you have a sensitivity to wool on your skin, keep this in mind when choosing a hat.

Yes. The Mackinaw Rancher Cap's extended earbands fully cover your ears when pulled down and provide additional coverage at the back of the neck. If you're spending long days outdoors in cold or windy conditions, it offers significantly more protection than the Original Stormy Kromer Cap.

Use a soft tape measure to measure around your head where you like your hat to sit. Divide that measurement by 3.14 (π), then round up to the nearest 1/8. This is your Stormy Kromer hat size. If you don't have a tape measure, you can also use a piece of string and measure it against a ruler. Please remember that these hats generally do not stretch over time. If your measurement falls between sizes, or if you prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.

Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Mackinaw Rancher Cap. For small spills or stains, spot cleaning is often enough. If your cap gets wet from rain or snow, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put your wool cap in the dryer, as the heat can cause it to shrink.
