Frequently Asked Questions
-
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.
-
The Original Stormy Kromer Cap is designed for cold-weather comfort, but how warm it feels depends on the person and the conditions. Wool provides natural warmth while remaining breathable, making it a great choice for cool to cold weather. If you regularly spend extended time outdoors in extreme cold, consider one of our insulated styles or hats with longer earbands for additional warmth.
-
No. The Original Stormy Kromer Cap is lined with soft cotton flannel, and the sweatband is made from a comfortable polycotton blend. The wool outer shell provides warmth and durability, while the materials against your skin are designed for everyday comfort.
-
Simply slide your thumb between the earband and the cap, then pull the earband down over your ears. There's no need to untie or unfold anything. When you're ready, just pull it back up into place for the classic Stormy Kromer look.
-
For most people, the Original Stormy Kromer Cap's earband covers about one-half to two-thirds of the ear. Because everyone's head shape and ear placement are different, coverage will vary. If you're looking for more coverage or added warmth in extreme cold, Stormy Kromer also offers styles with longer earbands and additional insulation.
-
Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Original Stormy Kromer 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.

Great hat, well made American product. Warm and comfortable. Slightly snug fit kept it on my head in the boat in Canada last week. I wish the ear flap was slightly larger ( I have big ears!) Love the color (Lichen). ~~ George - keep an eye open when we launch Fall 2022...there might be something new that might work perfectly for you! SK ~~

Arrived beautifully packed and is just as I remember the cap to be (minus the sweat and soil from a hard working cap of yore!) Thank you!

I recently received my original stormy Kromer cap just In time for the opening day of the Idaho deer hunting season. My first impression was I really liked it. After wearing it in the woods on a cold snowy mountain morning, I was blown away at the warmth and comfort of the hat. Warm as it was it still breathed really good. I didn't sweat in it nearly as much as I thought I might. On top of that it fits perfectly. One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. The $50.00 price is well worth it. I think I will be ordering another real soon for work this winter.
