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.

For years I've used a traditional blaze orange wool Kromer cap for hunting. I finally got myself an "everyday" Kromer in the Dark Green Waxed Cotton. I love it! As soon as that hat goes on I'm north of HWY 2 draggin a buck! -The Fireman
I lost my tan waxed cotton in a South Dakota cafe on a pheasant hunting trip. When I got home to the Green Bay, Wi. area got on line and ordered another. I have since also purchased a waxed cotton camo for waterfowling. Love the Kromers, very popular at our local gun club. -Mr. 18
I have purchased six stormys in the last year and the waxed cotton hat is my favorite. Its fit is second to none and it has that rugged rustic look that I like. Love my kromers! Keep up the good work!Jeff from South Dakota -jeff
Have had my field tan waxed cap for a week now and love it. As stated by a previous reviewer, it is ever so slightly bigger than my same sized wool standard Kromer. But I just cinched up the tie in front a little bit and it now fits like a glove. I love the character of the waxed cotton. Looks broken in right away and will only get better with age. This'll be my Sept-Nov and April-June cap. Ok, since I just got it, it'll also see some time here in Dec. This might be my favorite of all my Kromers. I myself have 5 now. This one, camo wool std, red plaid std, grey std and rancher just received. My bride can't figure out why I need so many. -BR SD
Fits a little bigger than my wool SK. But I love it. Got it cause my wool one was a little much on the cool days. Really enjoy wearing both of them. Thanks for a great product. -Tommy
I just got my kromer a few weeks ago but I had one before it and lost it. I ordered a new one because of how much I liked the first one. The waxed cotton is a great fall and spring hat. It repels water fairly well and blocks the wind but when it gets below about 30 degrees or lower I have to switch to a different hat. Over all it is a great hat and I'm looking at a wool one to take me through the winter time. I will keep buying kromers as long as they keep making them in the U.S. Nice to know there are still some great products made right here at home. -Jesse
Just got mine last week and I love it. I echo what another reviewer said, that the dome fits a little tall and it wants to ride low, sometimes resting on my ears. A little more break-in time and it should fit perfectly. Looking forward to a late fall grouse hunt with my trusty dog, well worn shotgun, and my Stormy Kromer. -Wildcard
Just received blaze orange waxed cap in time for Wyoming antelope hunt. State regs require orange, and cap makes me legal and ready for any wet weather. Nice for group quail and pheasant hunts also. My max 4 version has kept me dry and warm for six duck and turkey hunting seasons in California. Please bring it back! -Chuck
Need to add some portals on the waxed cotton for ventilation. It is a summer cap, it is hot in the summer, and would wear it more if this was the case. Although my Filson has these vents and the sweat build up does not dissipate it does ad character though probably to much for the faint of heart though. -gator620
