Frequently Asked Questions

The Rancher Cap is our warmest traditional wool cap, built for serious winter weather. Compared with the Original Stormy Kromer Cap, it features 200-gram Thinsulate™ insulation in the crown and longer fleece-lined earbands for added warmth and coverage. When the earbands are pulled down, they fully cover your ears and extend farther down the neck.
Yes. The Rancher Cap's extended earbands fully cover your ears when pulled down and provide additional coverage at the back of the neck.
The Rancher Cap is built for people who put warmth and function first. With 200-gram Thinsulate™ insulation, fleece-lined earbands, and extended coverage, it's made for those who spend real time outdoors in the cold. Whether you're ice fishing, snow blowing, working outside, or simply refuse to let winter slow you down, the Rancher is built to keep you comfortable in harsh conditions.
No. The Rancher Cap is lined with soft cotton flannel, and the sweatband is made from a comfortable polycotton blend. The earbands are lined with fleece, so the wool outer shell never sits directly against your skin.
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 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.

Great winter hat! The ear flaps completely cover my ears. When I don my Rancher Cap, I feel like I can tackle any case!

I found a rancher at Bass Pro and they didn’t have my size. I loved the hat and quality. Did a measurement based on the suggestions on the Stormy website and ordered one. Honestly, it’s the the most comfortable and warm hat ever! It’s like a warm hug for your head! LOL Great quality and craftsmanship. I also ordered an original, but for winter the rancher can’t be beat. Absolutely love it.

Love my new Rancher hat I received for Christmas. I normally just wear a headband but for those cold icy days while X-country skiing or snowshoeing this hat is the best!

The rancher cap is a great cap but a little bulky for me. I bought it for pheasant hunting but with the thinsulate lining its a bit too warm for that. Would be great sitting in a deer stand though. I sure wish they made the original cap with ear muffs. That would be perfect for active cold weather activities

I received 2 Stormy Kroger hats for Christmas. The 7-1/4 fit perfectly. The 7-1/8 which I can normally wear, fit like a beanie, way small. So I decided to buy another 7-1/4 on line. It was so big it covered my ears and eyes with all my fingers inserted. Sizes. Per my experience don’t run true. Only buy where you can try it on! They are really nice caps if you get one that fits. ~~ Sorry to hear of your sizing issues. Will let production and quality control know of this situation so they can correct it for future items. Thank you for your honest review. SK~~

I purchased the hat to wear while spectating Nordic ski races. I put it to the test this past weekend with temps in the teens one day, and below zero the next. My head and ears stayed toasty warm. All while wearing this awesome looking hat!!!
