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.

Bought my first one in N. Dakota and wore it in -20 wind chill. Fell in love with it. After beanies, Stetsons, Resistols, and ball caps it was nice to have a warm head when it was cold. My hunting buddies giggled when I bought an orange one, now they all wear them too! -Bill

I love running rabbits with my Beagles.I own three regular Kromers that are normally enough hat for whatever comes my way. I would rate them all with five stars if they had the goretex like the first one I recieved as a gift. The Rancher in blaze is a serious winter garment that never leaves the truck unless its on my head to run the dogs. We are out many hours in the January thru February late season. This is the best hunting hat I have evere had. -Elmer Fudd

I bought this hat in blaze for deer hunting in Minnesota. This is a great hat for cold mornings/evenings. Much better in a stand where stocking caps get pushed up by your coat collar. -The Deerhunter

Have had an original kromer for a few years, but at times wished it better covered my large ears while snow blowing or fishing. Resorted to a hood. Picked up the rancher and all I can say is wow. Warm, comfortable and covers my ears well keeping me toasty. Glad I got this one. -Scott d

I little elf told me that my wife bought a Rancher for Christmas for me! Shhhh....don't tell her that I know what's under the tree. I own three other Kromer's (Camo, Brown, Blaze Orange) and though I love them, I've wanted a Rancher for a long time. Three more days till Christmas....gonna' have to be good! -RunnyNose

Very well built and good to see a "made in U.S.A. of imported parts" whatever that means. But, next time I'll buy a warmer $20 wool or synthetic fleece cap. In my opinion, it's just not fit for serious cold weather outdoor pursuits. I guess you can't put a price on looking "cool" -Db

So sad to return this hat as it offers great insulation and ear coverage, but my husband is searching for a hat that will protect him while out setting up the sugarbush in Northern Vermont -- he needs protection from cold, wind, and wet! So, although this hat was almost perfect, he has to continue his search. Please, SK, add gore-tex to this one -- we'd be so happy! -Bellagoodvt
