Looking to buy a Stormy Kromer. It would be for the Fall cool hunts and occasional around town wear. Any suggestions from those who own them ?? Thanks in advance.

OUTSTANDING !! I have one with the original bill. Not the short bill. Never had any problems, just turn it around :thumbsup: Warm too and well made :campfire: :coffee:
I have 2 of them and i wear them all the time
I have three: a blaze orange, a camo, and a black. Next I want an olive green. I wear them for bow season, quail and pheasant hunting, and all winter long.

Got a camo in oil cloth this year. Great hat, still just a hair long to shoot with, gotta turn it around. Liked it so much I got one for my two year old and one for my 6 month old. CUTE!!!!

occasional wear?
I have several, my black one is an original Kromer. Which is Stormy Kromer's father.
they make one now with no brim
I have three of them - usually wear one all the time during fall/winter/spring. They are great - warm and well made. Hit 'em with a lint roller occasionally and wash them every once in a while to keep them looking good.
Mine are the original wool Stormy's with original length bill. The original length bill is still shorter than a regular baseball style cap - I've never had any string contact problems with them.
I wear mine everywhere... not sure I'd do that with one of the SK brimless "beanies" though.
I have several as well; black, red, red & black plaid, oil cloth tan, camo. I guess for hunting, I'd run with the camo, olive or any of the plaids like Berry Wensel wears. A hat steeped in tradition. Gotta own a least one!

I have a couple, but just got a Filson lookalike from a fellow tradganger. Shot with it on this morning, and it did not interfere with the string at all while at full draw. It's in camo, and it looks like it may be my new 'go to' hunting hat.
I have an original kromer in camo for hunting, and I also have a mackinaw kromer in the red and black plaid for icefishing and around outside. I tried on an olive colored rancher this weekend, and let me tell ya it fealt good and warm. Pretty sure I'll be getting one next.
I have two of them, both the original kromers and have never had a problem shooting my longbow with them on. Dark grey for around town and I were the olive one while hunting. Great hats!
Here's a link to a wool cap I found at Sierra Trading post. It's wool and has a nice lining. I got one for myself and my wife. Love them.

pm'd ya
Love my Kromers I have two, an original and the rancher.The rancher style is crazy warm,I shave my head and it stays toasty warm even on the coldest windy days.
Thought I would bring this back up as they are having a sale today on all kromer caps and shipping today only. Pretty good deal on some of the more expensive hats.
Who is "they"?
Got a linky?
Bought one for my wife and all the girls love it. It's gray with a pink flower. My hat is green. I don't wear it often, I prefer a watch cap but they are well made. Great vests too.
I really like my Krommer, warm and comfortable. The only down side to the hat is the fold down ear flaps are too short and as such are pretty worthless.

Take a look at the classic sportsman.com web sight. Nice stuff, longer ear flaps and a short brim model. I tried one of the hats just couldn't get one big enough for my pumpkin size head.

have a Kromer but I like my Classic Bowman better......go to Classic sportsman ...Rob Tibeiro...very nice lots od patterns and short brim
The original Kromer is about as versatile as they come. There's no "one hat does it all" but the kromer comes close.
Now if you want a blizzard type of weather hat with full ear coverage then get the rancher model.

I really like the regular cap(I actually have the mackinaw, which is just a little warmer than the regular cap but looks the same) Plenty warm for what I use it for and the ear flaps come down just far enough to help with the ears. If you want a really warm one, go with the rancher. Really like this one when i am snowblowing the driveway. Also more of a deal as it is marked down too.
Back and Green Plaid... :thumbsup: ...jmho
My youngest digs hers...

I'm going to be getting one of these soon. Same look as the original Kromer, but available in short brim and I like their plaid patterns and overall construction better.
I have a plaid one in autumn colors. It is my favorite hat but I have to cock the bill off to the left to shoot my bow.
I just ordered a Rancher in Olive at the $31.41 price and $3.14 shipping.
I think that is a great deal. Thanks for posting this up today! Saved me some money and I have been wanting one for a long time. :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
I have one in blaze orange, and one in green/black plaid. Great hats!
Briars, Good choice, great deal on that hat. Glad it worked out for somebody.
I have several, but this one is my standby:

Roger that's my hat! Absolutely the most comfortable hat I've ever owned. I wish it wasn't too hot for summer.
Rog-that's mine too. I think it's called Partridge Plaid. Like it better then my King of the Mouintain. Hope the hand is mending nicely!
You can't beat a Stormy Kromer hat. I've got three...an olive green one, a blaze orange one and then a green/black plaid one that has the Goretex lining.
I'll warn you right now, DO NOT get the Goretex lined Stormy! It's way too hot for me, even in the coldest Indiana temps. Get the standard, unlined Stormy in your color of choice and you'll never be sorry.
All of my hats have the normal sized bill. I just turn the hat around backwards if I'm bowhunting with it on. Friend of mine (aka "German Dog" on here) has the brimless Kromer and likes that for bowhunting.
Get the Rancher
no doubt about it, stormy kromers are fine headwear.
i just prefer a plenty coups (http://tradgang.com/coupscaps/) ... :)
Thanx for the links folks....
I love my Stormy Kromer stuff! I wear the Jacket with the zip in liner as well as the hats
