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.

The rancher is a somewhat warm hat and comfortable. If you are looking for a hat to keep your ears warm, this is not the hat. The flaps don’t cover the ears very good and the fabric is thin over the ears. I bought this hat for ice fishing and every day chores but am not happy with it. There’s just not enough ear protection. ~~ Sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Rancher cap. You have 90 days after purchase to return it for a refund. Please contact our customer service team at 888-455-2253 for help with a return. SK ~~

Fits smaller than sized, I measured my head as per the chart and ordered appropriate size but its to small for my head by at least one size. As I live in Canada its not worth the cost of returning, so I am stuck with a hat that does not fit me. ~~ Sorry your cap isn't fitting properly. One of our customer service team members will reach out to you. SK ~~

Got my SK Rancher back in 2008, still wearing it to this day, great for those cold day out breaking ice and checking cattle. Keeps my head nice and warm. Only reasons I didn’t give it a 5 star is over time the ear flaps are flopping out and let the cold air in. So my ears don’t stay very warm. Other reason is that it’s dry clean only.

Made very good may be sized a little small I added a 1/2 inch and it just fits I would recommend adding 1 inch to overall size

Got this hat and it is amazing!. The pull down flap n the back is great for keeping your ears warm when it is incredibly cold. The crown has thinsulate added to it and it keeps my head very warm - almost too warm, depending on how hard I am working. I wore it yesterday when I was loading groceries for clients when I volunteered at the local food pantry. Kept my noggin and ears warm throughout my 2 hour shift in the close to zero air temperatures. Great hat - recommended highly.

Now this is a real cold weather hat ! Love this hat ! Wish I had not waited so long to get this hat , this is what I have been looking for in a SK hat. Don't get me wrong, my original SK hats are awesome also. But for really cold Michigan days, the Rancher is the hat to get. When my 3 month old chocolate lab gets grown , he will be getting a SK jacket for winter!!
