Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Waxed Rancher 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.

  • The Waxed Rancher Cap offers warmth comparable to the Rancher Cap. Instead of Thinsulate™, it uses Lamilite® insulation in the crown along with the same extended, fleece-lined earbands.

  • Choose the Waxed Rancher Cap if you expect wet conditions. Its paraffin-treated waxed cotton shell sheds rain and wet snow while developing a distinctive weathered look over time. If you prefer the classic look and feel of wool, choose the Rancher Cap.

  • Yes. The Waxed Rancher Cap's extended earbands fully cover your ears and provide added protection at the back of the neck, making it a great choice for cold, wet, and windy conditions.

  • 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.

  • Spot clean with cold water whenever possible. If needed, 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 for that purpose.

    I absolutely love this hat. It's my 3rd Kromer hat and love them all. This one is perfect for a chilly day. This hat is a very high quality hat. Everything I have purchased from Stormy Kromer is of the highest quality. I highly recommend this hat!

    Couldn't be happier with the purchase of the Waxed Rancher. The quality is insane. They could charge double the price and it would still be a bargain. The reason they come with a lifetime warranty is because Stormy Kromer knows that they won't ever have to repair any of their hats. They are made that well. Bravo to American made and bless this family owned business.

    I like the hat but... I have two variations, one in dark brown and one in camo. The camo one isn't really waxed...its more like treated duck, and its tighter than my other stormys despite being the same size. The earflaps on the camo one dont pull down as far as those on the dark brown. Bottom line - I really like the dark brown one. The camo doesnt fit right despite being the correct size and doesnt appear to be as waterproof. I wish it was offered in more variations. I would like it to be offered unisulated and also with the first lite lining. Full ear coverage without overheating during activity, these would be way too hot for snow removal. Also, if there was a way around the bowtie front and center maybe could get away with wearing it a few more places

    Determined my size from the free cap sizer and ordered my cap. When it arrived it fit perfectly! This is a great cap! I live in Minnesota and we still have some cold temperatures here. Best cap I ever owned!
