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.

    I love the hat but the fit is a little tight. Of the 2 hats I bought, the original is tight and they are both the same size.

    Best investment I made this year! Fit was perfect based on measuring directions. Stays on my head through thick cover during hunting. Would definitely buy again or refer to others.

    While looking at a Stormy Kromer adjustable trail cap, it occurred to me that my beloved Original cap is over 20 years old!!! Wow, how time flys.....I'm an avid outdoorsman and hunter and if this hat could tell stories, no one would believe it's still around, let alone look as good as it does. Thank you Stormy Kromer for all the years of service, warmth and memories this cap has given me. Anyone even considering buying one, don't hesitate, it's the best of the best!

    I'm extremely pleased with my new hat, it's everything I had hoped for and more. The material is extremely warm and the ability to order at a specific size is terrific. And the sizing, by the way, is dead-on perfect. You know what's actually funny, is wearing this hat here in Southern California, is how many people ask 'Where'd you get that hat" or the now familiar 'I'm from Michigan, I love those hats". Just goes to show what a massive following these hats truly have. I've since ordered one for my wife and daughter (for Christmas) and I have no doubt they'll love them as much as I do. As for the warranty, honestly, what more could you ask! A hat with an actual serial number. That's something you don't see every day. To the crew at Stormy Kromer, 'Thank you!' You're a wonderful example of an American company where quality remains top priority.

    I have just worn the new blaze orange hat I purchased a while back. It is no where near the quality of three that I have. Not very windproof, the wool is very smooth and way thinner. I have nothing but praise for my other caps. This one is a real disappointment ~ Hi Randy, We're really sorry you aren't happy with the quality. You are welcome to exchange for different item as long as it's new/unworn with tags attached within 90 days of purchase. SK~

    I love these hats i have 4. I love the quality. They do run a little small but then again I have a huge noggin. I look cool and warm at the same time. Would love green colors. Hunter, the Mallard you used to have and the green black hunter plaid. Buy one you wont be disappointed.
