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.

    My other four Stormy hats are 7 and 3/4. I decided to go up to 7 and 7/8 this time and am very glad I did. By tying the front slightly tighter it has a perfect fit.

    Greatest winter hat I have ever worn, too bad it took 51 years to find them.

    Hard to rate something I haven’t even received yet. FedEx is the worst shipping company, especially for estimated shipping dates. Sue yourself a favor and switch companies. Last hat I ordered was great. Love it which is why I ordered another. ~~ Sorry to hear it's taking longer than expected to get your cap. Looks like it's still making it's way to you - right now the package is in PA. You can always talk to our customer service department at 888-455-2253. ~~

    Make sure it’s a tight fit initially. It’s important for the correct fit and proper pull down of the ear flaps. Quality and construction are outstanding! It’s warm as hell. I’m proud to wear my hometown hat. Jaquarts made my Ironwood Reddevil duffle bag circa 1987.

    Thought it fit a bit snug but it conformed to my head after wearing for a couple days.

    I would like to exchange it for one that has the flaps properly centered. ~~ Sorry the ear band isn't centered on the cap. Please give our customer service team a call at 888-455-2253 and they will help with your exchange. ~~

    My “Partridge Plaid” hat looks just like, if not better than the picture on the SK website. Hat arrived within days of ordering and had a pre-printed notecard that reminded me “you helped keep another job in the USA.” Nice touch, Stormy Kromer! Hat seems to be well-constructed and precisely made (no sloppy workmanship). Although I ordered the hat size recommended by their Size Chart, I thought it was too small & tight when it first arrived. However, once I figured out how the ear flaps work and wore it for my daily walk on a cold, windy day, I became a believer! Hat does what it was designed to do AND makes me look good at the same time! Love my hat. Would definitely order again. Just a note regarding sizing: if you like your hat a little looser & are okay with it blowing off under windy circumstances, order a slightly larger size.
