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 was disappointed with the cap I purchased for my husband's Christmas present. I have an old cap the is made with much thicker material and it come down to cover my ears. His cap is made with thinner material and it does not cover his ears. I do love my old old cap. ~ Hello, We're sorry you were disappointed in the cap you received. Could it potentially be a different style compared to your other one? We offer returns/exchanges as long as the item is new/unworn with tags attached with 90 days of purchase. SK~

I've just recently received my 6th and 7th Stormy Kromer hats, and I'm pleased to say that I'm hooked! While I placed my order right before Christmas, they were received the day after, which was fine with me, as I was quite sure that's what would happen. Supply was low as expected, but was able to order a short brim Partridge and original Rock Harbor , which I gifted to my doctor since he was admiring my Grey plaid one at my last visit. Dammit! , now I need a Rock Harbor original, as it's my new favorite color, but out of stock! Looking forward to seeing that it's back in asap! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SK!
