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 own 3 different Kromers. When my Grandson saw the Rancher he had to have one, this was his gift. He loves it

    Took my son on a pilgrimage from the east coast to Green Bay's Lambeau Field, and noticed a friend wearing a SK cap. Looked great, and loved that it was made in the UP. Almost no stock to choose from in a local store, so had to buy ours online. Tough to size correctly. Using the directions I came in at 7 1/8 - ended up with a 7 3/8 which fits perfectly. Glad I skipped over the 7 1/4. My son also had to upsize. Staff was helpful with our return and reship. The cap is great and I love how the longer flaps cover the ears.

    This is my second waxed cotton rancher cap and i bought one for my son. So yes, I highly recommend this well built cap.. I will say that if you intend to be in rainy or snowy areas, i suggest ordering a can of the TexWax refinishing wax SK sells and applying a coat. Maybe its just me, but i prefer a heavier coating of wax. THIS WILL DARKEN THE COLOR THOUGH. but i actually like the darker colors, especially on my new Gamekeeper camo waxed cotton rancher. And i know it will shed water well.
