Frequently Asked Questions
-
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.

The Original Stormy Kromer Cap is designed for cold-weather comfort, but how warm it feels depends on the person and the conditions. Wool provides natural warmth while remaining breathable, making it a great choice for cool to cold weather. If you regularly spend extended time outdoors in extreme cold, consider one of our insulated styles or hats with longer earbands for additional warmth.
-
No. The Original Stormy Kromer Cap is lined with soft cotton flannel, and the sweatband is made from a comfortable polycotton blend. The wool outer shell provides warmth and durability, while the materials against your skin are designed for everyday comfort.
-
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.
-
For most people, the Original Stormy Kromer Cap's earband covers about one-half to two-thirds of the ear. Because everyone's head shape and ear placement are different, coverage will vary. If you're looking for more coverage or added warmth in extreme cold, Stormy Kromer also offers styles with longer earbands and additional insulation.
-
Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Original Stormy Kromer Cap. For small spills or stains, spot cleaning is often enough. If your cap gets wet from rain or snow, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put your wool cap in the dryer, as the heat can cause it to shrink.

Purchased for my son for a Christmas present. To replace his other blaze orange Stormy. The orange was getting pretty faded out. He has had that one since he started hunting. He loves that hat!! Hopefully he will love this one as much. ( I'm sure he will). They wear like iron. I will be getting a couple more. For other family members.

Hands down my favorite cap in my collection. Comfortable, looks good in any setting and the quick ear cover makes this indispensable.

I received my Kromer as a Christmas present from my daughter. It fit perfectly and is the most comfortable hat I’ve worn. We hit -30 wind chills the weekend after I got it and my head warm warm as could be.

We have had sub zero temps every day this past week. The hat looks great and is quite warm and comfortable. I needed to return my first purchase as it was too small even though I both measured according to the instructions on the website and I also have other sized hats. Maybe these run just a bit small? It was well worth the news to reorder.

As always, Stormy Kromer has made my husband very happy! The Stormy Original is his cap of choice and I was pleased to have the perfect gift for him to open on Christmas day. This is the eighth (yes, 8th!) cap in his wardrobe, yet probably his favorite to date. The more "traditional" looking camouflage pattern of the Ottawa makes it a perfect neutral with his different coats, jackets & vests. As always, this product arrived in perfect condition due to the hand packaging and attention to detail (thank you, Melissa). I only order from the original SK website because I am a Michigan native and try to support my fellow statesmen/women. I am proud to call Michigan my home and my husband is proud to be asked "Where did you get that hat, I want one?".

This cap was a gift from my wife. I am pleased with the Ottawa because it is a more "traditional" camouflage pattern. This is Stormy number 8 for me and I am certain that number will increase again in the near future. Thank you for your quality products and excellent customer service. I am now going to register my new cap in case someone else cannot resist having my Ottawa for themselves!
