You really can wear a Kromer all year round. We kept the classic style of the Original, but cut it from lightweight, water-resistant 100% waxed cotton duck. When the chilly morning gives way to a sunny afternoon, just pull up the earband and you'll be comfortable all day long.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Waxed Cotton Cap is designed for cool, wet weather—not extreme cold. It's uninsulated, making it best suited for fall, spring, and other cool, wet days. In milder climates, it may work well as a winter cap, but in colder regions it won't provide the same warmth as the Original or Rancher.
-
Choose the Waxed Cotton Cap when you expect wet weather and want added water resistance. Its waxed canvas shell sheds rain while developing a distinctive weathered look over time.
-
The Waxed Cotton Cap is water-resistant, not waterproof. Its paraffin-treated waxed cotton shell sheds rain and snow in most conditions, but because the seams aren't sealed, it's not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
-
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.
-
Simply slide your thumb between the earband and the cap, then pull the earband down over your ears. There's no need to untie or unfold anything. When you're ready, just pull it back up into place for the classic Stormy Kromer look.
-
Spot cleaning is the best way to care for your Waxed Cotton Cap. Cold water is often all you need, but if necessary, use a gentle castile soap. Avoid hot water, laundry detergent, and dish soap, as they can damage the waxed finish. Over time, you may need to rewax your cap to restore its water resistance. We offer wax tins specifically for that purpose.

My #1 work cap. In and out of truck in all weather. The only of many waxed cotton hats that I have owned that has not been a "sweat box!" This hat has never failed to keep my head dry transitioning from heavy labor to little activity on the road. In and out of rain frequently and "breathed" enough to keep my head dry. I have two and they are afield with me hunting/fishing and work.

I've not been much of a hat guy in the past. I've had this Stormy Kromer Waxed Cotton Cap for just a little over a week and I wear it all the time. I have left the house then returned home just because I forgot my cap! I probably should have bought a size or two smaller but, with that said, I love the feel of this cap. It feels durable, though only time will tell. I will likely own more.

Haven’t had this hat long enough to say how durable it is, but it is excellent in the rain. Very comfortable hat, well constructed. I believe it will last a lifetime!

Got my cap, the other five are wool, on a Friday. It rained for the next two days, couldn't have had a better test and it came thru with flying colors. Wondered how long I could wear it before changing to the wool. Had a volunteer outing with the Boys Scouts cleaning up yards for the seniors at 17 degrees in the morning and it worked out fine. I have never recorded a cap , but I will with this one because I wouldn't want to be without a waxed cotton. We now have three generations wearing Stormy Kromer Caps.

I have several SK hats and this one met all expectations. It fits great, is warm, and keeps my head dry during the rainy months in the pacific NW.

i have the dark oak, love it! every hat is like a fingerprint, slightly different, so try several on before taking one home. i am now the proud owner of 4 sk hats with this one being my 1st. if i had to give a complaint about the waxed cotton it would be that it is very hot when doing any physical labor. my advice...put on the hat, crack a beer, go outside, and sit around a campfire when the snow is falling. good times. chad from green bay wi

Just the right amount of warmth for me. Very comfortable, I wear it 9 months of the year. I think it looks and feels better with age.
