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.

    We had our first measurable snowfall here in North Dakota today and everybody is walking around all cold like. As I walked into the grocery store a guy walks out with some generic cap and all I can think of is: You poor sap. You could be wearing a Stormy Kromer Rancher! Forgive me my smugness. -:)Ike1518 -ike1518

    I had never seen a SK before this past Christmas, when a co-worker give me one as a gift. WOW. I absolutely love these hats... comfortable and warm. My wife then bought me one for my birthday and another for Valentines day, bringing my total to 3 hats. My latest was the red and black ranchers hat... this hat is awesome, fits like a glove and is nice and warm.Some reviews have stated the hat may be too warm for everyday use, but I haven't found that to be the case. I wear my hair short, like a crew cut, so I really appreciate the extra warmth. We live in the Northwest where it rains a lot and these hats are just the ticket to fighting off the cold damp air. I'm now a Stormy Kromer customer for life.Also love that the hats are made here in the US. Thanks for doing your part to help our economy and keep our citizens working. -MAC

    As a Canadian living just north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, we encounter some of the fiercest winter weather imaginable. Severe weather patterns, and -38 temperatures, make my Stormy Kromer Rancher Cap a welcome addition in helping fight the elements. The snowboarders at the local ski hill think that it's an "Awesome Look" as well. Fashionable and warm...what more can you ask for!! Loving it in my Stormy Kromer! -barth_antique

    Just purchased my first rancher kromer. I think it is almost perfect, needs better engineering on the ear flaps. They aren't snug enough. Although before the next deer season I will have to have a blaze orange rancher. Thanks SK -jbbooks
