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.

    I have 3 of these great hats: blaze orange, black and traditional plaid. Nothing keeps my head warmer whether it's deer hunting, ice fishing, playing outside with the kids, etc. The quality if first-rate, fit is the same from hat-to-hat and they're MI made. What's not to love?

    My daughter gave me a Stormy Kromer Rancher Cap last year for Christmas. After wearing it for the last year, it is by far my favorite winter hat. The extra insulation in this cap, and the longer ear flaps, keep my shaved head very warm while working on my farm during our frigid northern Michigan winters. I am now looking for a Stormy Kromer to wear during the rest of the year. Charles K. - Lake City, Michigan

    Materials/craftsmanship/quality is excellent. Fit (at least on me) is fine and it covers the front of my ears. There could be some more insulation for my ears I suppose, but overall it keeps mine warm. The cap itself is quite thick, and the flap can be pulled all the way into my collar keeping my neck warm.This is my go-to winter cap. It's not a replacement for a ushanka, but then again midwest winters don't seem to be as cold as those in Siberia! It would be nice if it had GoreTex, but I haven't gotten wet in it yet.

    I Although I liked the look of that, I had to return it as the front of my ears got cold. Maybe adding some insulation and a little more material in the front of the ear flap would help.

    Bought my Rancher Cap 2 years ago for deer hunting in Pennsylvania, unsurpassed warmth. I couldn't be happier. I use it when hunting from a stand as it would be too warm to wear if moving about. I would like to see this cap in some camo colors, including digital, in the near future. Gore-Tex would also be a very welcome addition to this cap.

    Nice warm hat, but as others were saying wind does get under the ear flaps. I just received this hat here in August , and seeing how it isn't winter yet. I tried it in front of a strong fan, and the ear flaps cut the wind approximately in half. I personally get severe earaches by just a little bit of wind during the fall and winter, so these ear flaps alone won't help me much. I did however find a solution. I will be wearing a fleece stretch earband under the hat. And It will also fold up with the earflaps. All Stormy Kromer needs to do is stitch in the stretch fleece earbands into the hats along with the regular flaps to solve the problem. Now I just have to find someone who will stitch one in for me :) -b3084570

    I've only had the cap for about one week, but so far it has been great. I bought it in Duluth, MN. MN has been consistently below zero this winter. I should have bought it earlier. I have the olive green one and my next will be a blaze orange cap for deer hunting. -Bill
