I have 5 Stormy Kromer caps. The Rancher is in orange. Every day wear from mid November till the snow is gone. Usually.

Stormy Kromers are made in the U.P.,not Wisconsin

I would agree!

I’ve got a stormy Kromer. Might have to try a Wyoming trader next.

I always liked the look of them ever since Ed Gein made them famous.

They are made in the UP now. Stormy was a train man from Wisconsin and his wife made the very first one for him.
The originals were made here, they went out of business for a while and started up again in Michigan.

Being 20 miles from where old Ed operated I can tell you he did NOT wear a Kromer. The hat he wore had side flaps which tied over the top. Usually bought those at the farm stores. In fact we used to call that style a GEINER. All the old railroaders used to wear black Kromers, part of their winter attire.Have been up to the Kromer store a few times in the UP. Worth a stop if you are up that way! Nice selection and you can try them on. If your in the UP make it a stop, worth your while.

I have one of the waxed ranchers.

Here I was feeling all self conscious thinking I had REALLY big ears and it wouldn't cover them.

I'm glad I'm not alone in the struggle !

I'm always surprised how many trappers especially are head over heels for a company that uses fake fur on their trapper hat. Mine collects dust ever since I found that out.

Elmer Fudd says be berry quiet. Turn the hat sideways on your head so the wabbit thinks you don't see him. 🤣

Just because you got her in the joke that was the teledo war it doesn't mean da UP doesn't rightfully belong to WI

It might as well be ya see more uppers in Green and Gold than silver and. Blue.

did you know that your hat size is the circumference of your head divided by 3.14 , it makes perfect sense I don't know why all the size charts when it was so simple

25/3.14=7.96 which is why I generally need an 8

I prefer the Stormy Kromer Rancher to the Wyoming Traders type due to the fact that the ear flaps fold up outside the hat. WY Traders fold inside so the fit changes, gets to loose when you fold the flaps down.

Lousy ear flaps .as said before !!!!!!

I just got a new one in the mail today. Original Kromer, 7 3/4 Partridge Plaid. I ordered it back on Cyber-Monday in Dec., on sale with free shipping. Got it a couple of weeks ago and had to send it back, too big. I have 4 others,
all 7 3/4, this one was sized wrong, the new one they replaced it with is perfect. I have a blaze orange for deer hunting, a cammo one, a black one that is about wore out, and a canvass khaki water proof one. Been wearing Kromers for years.

Now that hat has a feminine look to it.

The Stormy Kromer Rancher has better ear flaps than the original models, but all are quite functional.
No doubt the Wyoming Trader is an excellent alternative.

Those are made for guys without enough hair to cover their ears ! I have no use for them .

I'd say you're right!
