Ed Gein made them famous.

Mine has been collecting dust since I learned they use fake fur on their Northwoods Trapper hat. I emailed them about it and received a response from the president of the company that owns Stormy Kromer. I thought that was neat, but doesn't change the fact they're using an inferior product. She said they had done some experimenting with muskrat specifically which I also thought was cool. In fact, if they made a hat with muskrat, I'm sure many on here would buy one or two.

Here's part of her response.

"To be completely honest, the production processes with actual fur are quite different and our production team does not have those skills at this time to create a quality product."

A guy just moved here to Wisconsin from VA. And bought him and his newborn son stormies as welcome gifts. He was very excited.

Quality hats. I have 3 of them. A blaze orange for deer hunting, a camo for waterfowl, and a black one for everyday wear.

I have a half dozen or so off them. A couple are the old originals before they became Stormy Kromer.
They are great hats and make a feller look really smart.

The old ones did not have regular ear flaps, you can get them know. Did you notice the American Flag and made in the U.S.A are on the inside of the hat and can not be seen from the outside. crazy

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
