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.

This is a great Hat - I would recommend getting a size larger than you need though. I got the same size I wear in a fitted baseball hat, and it was too small. So I had to get a larger one, but otherwise I love this hat.

Looks great and the customized size fits perfectly! I am always between standard sizes and can’t wait to test it in colder weather!

This is my first "Original" stormy Kromer hat but my second SK purchase. I decided to get the Partridge Plaid and it is drop dead gorgeous. It matches every single on of my winter jackets and it just looks super cute on. I am now planning to purchase one for my nephew who lives in the Adirondacks. He has not yet found himself warm winter gear that is also good in slush or sleet but not too hot for the fine days. I am delighted with this purchase, as i am with my first, a different style. ~ We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying your new cap! Partridge Plaid is such a beautiful plaid. Might we suggest the Adirondack Plaid colorway for your nephew - a very classic charcoal with green and red plaid lines. Could be a little too on the nose, but classic nonetheless! ~

My husband asked for a “Stormy Kroger” for his birthday and he loves it. I was impressed that I could get one to fit his head measurement

I purchase two of these, one in the Red and Black plaid, which is classic- (You can't go wrong.) The other in Red Pine plaid. I was surprised that it was more brownish than green. Now that I have re-read the description more I would agree that it's olive colored. Still a very nice color, just not what I had expected. I am very happy with the color. Great quality!
