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.

Not going to lie, it’s a little gaudy for trying to make a fashion statement . But I bought it for work and it gives me the extra coverage I was looking for!! I’ll be buying another rancher in orange next ! ~~ Sometimes we need substance over style - especially in the frigid tundra! Thanks for loving the hat. SK ~~

I had the original stormy and thought it was ok I just got mine 30 minutes ago and it’s amazing with bigger flaps that cover your ears completely and it’s lined unlike the original.

I Farm & Ranch, an extremely warm hat for the coldest of days, had a few of those lately, -29 below one morning.

Love it. At first thought was a little small but that has already resolved. Love the way it covers all my ears to include the lobes. It is warm.

If you are looking for a cap for winter this is the one you need. This is very warm and comfortable. The ear flaps are the best, I have a huge head and not to take anything away from the standard Kromer but they don't pull down far enough for me. Not only is this hat very well made but it is made in the USA and that matters a lot to me. We have purchased about 8 Kromers this winter between the two of us. Thanks, and Stormy would be proud of his name on this cap!

Very comfortable except when sweating as the headband area feels wet, a wicking material there would help. Warm enough for most activities, but wind does penetrate. Ear flaps work well except when wind is in your face, then they don't help much or even make it worse by funneling it in. I am going to put a strap through the flaps so I can tighten them down. That should work well. For really cold and windy weather sheepskin fleece is my go to. Quality, workmanship and style as well as function for all but the coldest weather is great. ~~ Great suggestions - this will be passed along to our design team. SK ~~
