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.

I live in central Alabama and I purchased an original in March of 2010. I love the look and fit but Alabama winters can be warm at times. My only problem is that I don't get to wear it as often as I would like! Last week I finally got the chance to try the ear flaps, they work like a charm in the wind. I couldn't imagine wearing another cap while hunting or just runnin' errands. Good job with the design and craftmanship. I usually don't go online to write reviews but I felt compelled to do so after I got a complement about five minutes after I put it on my cold melon! -Dan

I'll wear my Stormy Kromer for three seasons out of the year comfortably. The only time I don't have it on during this season is when the snow is blowing and the Mad Bomber goes on. I love the versatility of the cap, it has a brim to help vision in bright situations and the best feature of course is the ear flaps that keep your ears from nipping up on those cold and/or windy days. -gmann

My husband hunts on Drummond Island for the past 20 years or so. He needs to dress warm to be able to stay out there for all the hours he puts in. With the Blaze Orange SK, I know he is safe & warm! Thank you SK! -Debra
