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.

    it's all been said above...fit like a glove off the shelf, keeps my head warm. I've wanted one of these for years, shame on Me for not doing it sooner! Will be getting a couple of blaze orange Kromers before next hunting season...one for Me, one for my hunting buddy from Ohio...(Is it OK for Buckeyes to wear a Michigan made Kromer?) -George

    I bought one of these in tan a few years ago for warm weather hunting. A rugged and durable hat that sheds water like a duck. Of course I had to get another one for the pheasant fields when I found it in blaze orange . -Rick

    This cap is so comfortable, and it fits like it was broken in the moment I put it on. I'm typically not a hat person but I believe this cap is going to convert me to a cap person. I've only had it for a day and I feel it coming on ........ as my favorite head gear! -Billy

    I was in Wisconsin last month at my daughters University - MSU- Midwestern forestery conclacve and saw the waxed cotton hat for sale. It did not take me long to get my cash out and buy one. The neat thing was the Kromer was embroidered on the side with the Treehanven logo where the contest was being held. It was also the same place where the STIHHL Timbersports series was filmed. Great hat and a great memory. -Scotty
