For those seriously cold conditions, you need a serious hat. So we took all the goodness of the Original and added an extra long, fleece-lined earband and Thinsulate™ insulation in the crown. Whether you're shoveling snow, ice fishing, or walking from your office to the car, you'll thank your Rancher.

Received my rancher hat yesterday and went to the woods today. Thank you for a great hat ! Warm , comfortable, keeps the wind off the back of the neck and like all of your other hats very well made. Like the tag on the inside " Made in Michigan's Upper Peninsula USA ". Thank you for a great product and a very comfortable hunt today. -James R Shuler
First things first, I love the original Stormy Kromer cap. I have three of them, black, brown, and waxed cotton canvas. Great caps. But here's the thing, I live in Wisconsin. You know, land of the great white north. I also work part time on a horse farm. In cold, windy weather, sometimes the original 1903 cap is just not enough. I stopped by my friendly neighborhood Kromer retailer the other day when I noticed the "thickest" looking Kromer I'd ever seen. I picked it up. Hmmmm, what's this? "The Rancher" Insulated, long ear flap, heavy. Cool.....oops, I mean warm. Found one in my size and paid the modest bill. Next day out at the farm the wind picked up and blew in one of those patented mid-west "mini blizzards." The kind where you get white out conditions for twenty minutes. It's all good, I just dropped the longer flap on my new Rancher cap, and kept right on working. Great cap! Keep up the good work. And make the new Rancher cap in more colors so I can buy another one. Thanx, Jon. -Jon Cameron
