There's a reason this cap is legendary. The wool blend resists the elements and the 100% cotton flannel lining helps keep you warm all winter. The ingenious pull-down earband provides comfort and flexibility. The six-panel construction keeps the cap on your head, where it belongs. And our wide range of sizes guarantees a great fit. No wonder it's lasted more than a century.

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.

    After losing my favorite winter hat I came across the Stormy Kromer in a local backpacker's shop. After trying the hat on I knew instantly I had found the perfect hat. I have a large head and the 7 3/4 fit perfectly. My ears are fully covered by the band when I pull it down.The first day I wore the hat to work I received 3 different compliments on the Adirondack Plaid! I would recommend this hat over and over again. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. -Mike Borowski

    This is my second wool Stormy. First one is starting to see the end getting ready to go over the rainbow to see Dorthy and Toto. I also have a wax Stormy that I wear from spring thru fall. Come winter the Wooly goes on my head. Its great that they are made here in America, but try to use American components and not globally ones! -copenhagen Cowboy

    My father was a Union Pacific conductor in Wyoming. Winters in Wyoming made you tough. Dad wore a SK and never left for a trip without it. I work in a ski area and it keeps me warm. I never fail to get compliments and/or questions about it. GREAT HAT. -Krieger

    Great cap! When I started in train service on the railroad in 1974, the "old hands" told me the first thing I should do is get myself a wool Kromer. Boy, am I glad I did! I am still wearing my original black one....that is how durable they are! When your new company took over the wool version I was worried, thought maybe there would be changes and lesser quality. Not so!! I now own two more Kromers (for dress, as my wife says!) and they are still the great cap they they have always been. Keep up the great work! -Big T
