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.

Very nice looking cap. Bought one for my father a few years ago. He has worn it out and showed me what is he going to do, it was his favorite cap. So for his birthday I bought him another one. He was very happy, he is 86 yrs young. I recommend this cap to everyone. Its warm and holds up well. My dad still works in his shop of a 60 years business, just him and my mom, for tires and wrecker service still to this day. So the cap gets well worn daily. Its on his head from the time he wakes up till the time he closes the shop and hangs it up on a hook everyday, 6 days a week, 9-5pm. He loves this cap. I don't think he will ever wear anything else in the winter but a Stormy Kromer Cap! ~~ Thanks for sharing this story. Glad to hear he will put his new cap to good use! SK ~~

Love this hat! So comfortable after I got the right size. Got a 7 3/8, but had to order a 7 1/2. Will be returning the 7 3/8. Can’t wait to see how it performs this fall and winter. I have a cruiser and vests that this will go well with. You guys make some great products!!

The hats run a little small. I wish they had a little elastic in the band

I ordered a 7 3/4, just to be on the safe side. My hat size is usually 7 5/8. This hat runs small, so i am not wearing it as often as i would like to. ~~ Sorry to hear the hat doesn't fit as you expected. You have 90 day from purchase to return/exchange for a better fit. Give our customer service a call for assistance at 888-455-2253. SK ~~

At first, it was a little tight on my head. Learned I might be a little above the avg cap size. However, after some breaking in, holy cow I’m impressed. My favorite experience so far was ice fishing with a big group. Despite 25* temps, my ears and head stayed quite warm. I love it and truly hope I never lose this hat.

Just got my hat a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it. I would recommend for any outdoorsman looking for a new hat.
