Stormy Kromer
If you are from Michigan (especially the UP), the Midwest or America for that matter – You have probably at least heard of the Stormy Kromer. Stormy Kromer is an apparel company located in Ironwood, MI. They have been handcrafting items for years and the quality of each item they make is unparalleled.
Like it says on a vintage patch on the inside of each item they make, the story goes like this “George Stormy Kromer, a semi-pro baseball player and railroad engineer, got tired of losing his hat to the winter wind. So he asked his wife Ida to sew some flaps on an old baseball cap to keep it snug, it worked so well that 100 years later it is still legendary for comfort and fit.”

I have purchased or been gifted quite a few of their products and I have yet to find any issues. The size and fit is right on. Each item serves its purpose very well. The original cap, similar to the style of the cap shown above, has a lace at the center of the front so that you may tighten and loosen the flap to make for the best fit for you. The hats keep your head warm in the fall and winter months but not so warm that you cannot stand to keep them on inside.

I wear the Waxed Cotton Cap just about every single day. It is amazing how this cap is waterproof, comfortable and easy to maintain. I am able to get dirt and grease all over it and just brush it off. I typically wipe it down with a wet towel and once it is dry I occasionally reapply the Martexin Original Wax to keep its conditioning up.

The online store has everything you could possibly need from Stormy Kromer and I’m sure you can find a use for all of it. The best place in Michigan that I have found to purchase their stuff is from M-37 N in historic downtown Newaygo, MI. They have products from all sorts of outdoors companies and their SK selection is awesome. Plus, you can try the items on and get the best fit! They also keep up with all of the new items so you don’t have to worry about missing out on anything!
