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 have looking at these caps for some time and finally ordered one for me as a Christmas gift to myself. I cap is quality made and made in the USA. The cap fits great, as well as the color. I've been wearing this everyday since I've received it. Keeps my head and ears warm while out clearing the snow off the car and driveway. Thank you for a great product and I'll be ordering another one for the warmer weather . Also thank Dennis for a great packing job keeping the cap from getting smashed.

Hats, are tools. This hat has its place. It did really well in 23 m.p.h. winds (with gusts to 45) at 15 degrees - the ear flaps worked exceptionally Great to keep the wind out, impressively so - but, I did put my jacket hood on after a bit. It's perfect for low level activity like: sitting in a duck blind, riding a tractor or waiting for a bus with a bit of rain or mist. But, if working in an unheated shop & working up a sweat, I took it off. The waxed canvas doesn't breathe & holds in too much moisture if there's no wind to whisk it away. I now know: If this hat design had the shell of the Mackinaw (without the cotton) and either Lamilite, or real wool on the ear flaps, it would be perfect. That said, I'm keeping this hat. Quality stitching & I liked the sizing. My view, from rural Iowa. Thanks for the hat.

Sizing was great, a bit tight but definitely will not blow off, consider going up one size, i.e. if you wear a 7 3/4 consider getting a 7 7/8. Quality and looks are awesome, would recommend to anyone seeking weather resistant cold proof hat.
