When it comes to outdoor adventures, the right gear makes all the difference. With a rich history rooted in practicality and an eye for design, Stormy Kromer has mastered the art of blending function and style in outdoor wear.
A Heritage of Practicality
Created in 1903 by George “Stormy” Kromer, the brand embodies the independence, wit, and grit of the upper Midwest. The company’s first creation was the iconic Stormy Kromer cap – a woolen cap with ear flaps designed to withstand the region’s brutal winters and stay on George’s head while working on the railroad. This initial foray into functional fashion laid the foundation for Stormy Kromer’s commitment to creating outdoor gear that not only keeps you warm and protected but also reflects a distinct sense of style.
The Stormy Kromer cap’s popularity grew not just because of its practicality but also due to its unique design. The blend of wool, craftsmanship, and ear flaps that could be lowered or raised as needed quickly made it a staple for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone in need of dependable headgear. As the brand expanded its offerings, this commitment to marrying function and fashion remained at the core of each new product.
Designs that Endure
While Stormy Kromer has a heritage that harks back over a century, its designs are far from outdated. In fact, the brand has evolved to cater to modern tastes without compromising on its practical origins. Whether it’s the enduringly popular flannel shirts or versatile vests, every piece is a testament to the brand’s dedication to producing high-quality gear that stands the test of time.
What sets Stormy Kromer apart is its ability to transition from the great outdoors to urban settings seamlessly. Each item is designed with a touch of rustic charm that complements a wide range of styles. From a weekend camping trip to a casual day out in the city, Stormy Kromer’s offerings allow you to merge function and fashion effortlessly.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Beyond the aesthetics and functionality, Stormy Kromer places a premium on craftsmanship and sustainability. Each item is carefully crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that you receive a piece that not only looks great but also lasts. Moreover, the brand is committed to sustainable practices, using high-quality materials that are built to endure, reducing the need for frequent replacements, and minimizing its environmental footprint.

I have 4 of them now. My first one from Cabelas. It’s the original Kromer, camo with goretex. I know you don’t make the camo pattern or the goretex any longer but it’s definitely my favorite, most durable hat. It’s my most worn hat in the fall hunting seasons and winter outdoor season. I have a grey one that’s kinda my “dress” hat and a newer camo Kromer that just doesn’t fit like my original, I still wear it occasionally. I just bought my last one at 37 North in Newaygo. It’s Blaze orange and will be on my melon this rifle season! Thanks for making a great product! I have yet to try your clothing due to my love for Woolrich. To me it’s the warmest outdoor gear you can buy. One of these days I’ll try one of your outdoor products! I’m from Muskegon in Western Michigan, proud that you still make your products in Michigan!
Thank you, Greg! That’s exactly what the Stormy Kromer cap is made for: hunting, adventure, and everyday wear. Thanks for being a proud Stormy Kromer customer—We appreciate you.
