For Zim and Patrice

Hey folks! So a few weeks ago we ventured up to hudson to hang out with my brother in law. Did some shopping, did a little fishing on the st croix river, and some early morning runs on local trails. Beautiful country up your way!
Over that weekend we drove up to chippewa falls and toured the leinenkugal brewery. What a neat facility and history! Anyway, I bought me one of those Stormy Kromer wool hats, similar to one Zim is sporting in his tman mugshot. Mine is red, zims is green. I'm assuming Zim has a Kromer on, it looks similar.
I will do my best to post up some pics this season in my new cool weather hat, catches of coyotes and coons while putting the new hat to work here in Nebraska.
Thank you both for your posts on here.
Jim

Wow, jabNE! I just saw this. Clearly I am working too much and I'm missing out on good things. I'm sure glad you enjoyed your visit to cheeseland! Sometime, you'll have to make it a visit to right here in our neck of the woods. Yep, Zim has a whole collection of Kromers in an array of classic colors.

Last week, we were in line at the local hardware store and a young guy (maybe 20 years old) noticed Zim wearing a Stormy Kromer and asked where he can a genuine one. As we walked out of the store, Zim and I said to each other, "There's still hope for our youth!"

We'll watch for those posts and pics!

Only the cool kids were Stormy Kromers.

The Leinie's brewery is about 20 minutes north of my farm. I have four Kromer hats, one original Kromer and three Stormy Kromers. All very useful, and did I mention the "cool" factor ? I've made several stops at their factory & store in Ironwood, MI........cool place to say the least.
Great to hear you you enjoyed your visit up this way in Wisconsin. I've never met Zim, but since he wears a Kromer, then he's an ok kind of guy !

I really like Leinenkugel Summer Shandy.

Wearing my cool camouflage Kromer as I am sitting here reading this! I think I am at around 5-6 of them.....so far.

My favorite hat is my Kromer from 1964, also the fad back then were the blue with white polka dot Kromer Kleen Kloth Kaps, everyone wore them, there was also red and green ones!

JabNE,
Don’t trust everyone in Wisconsin that wears a Kromer. I’m also glad he’s not around to respond to Patrice’s what’s for dinner threads.

Jim,I am on the Minnesota side,3 miles from Hudson.
Caps are needed right now,10 above this morning.
Tom

Wearing my black/gray Kromer now.

Hey, that ain't no Kromer ol' Ed is sporting, although I hear he was into making his own clothing. I have a half dozen of or so of them, 3 originals and 3 Stormy's.
My pride and joy is an original blaze orange one with black camo shapes. About time to blow the dust off it in preparation for deer gun season.
No doubt about it, a Kromer makes a guy look swave and deboner.

Zim

Soooo.......if Iam running Beaver Dam tip ups.......do I need a stormy Kromer hat ??

Either a Kromer or a Cheesehead. I think I already know the answer....

we are a stormy kromer house ,some of mine an the wife's

Great hats . I had the typical red plaid until my wife washed and shrunk it.

I have Nevah seen a Kromer hat in NH...or wasn’t paying attention..... I might have to get one, and be the first in NH !

Are those Christmas decorations out already?

I don't have one them caps probably should though.. My younger brother wears one and I've always called it his Elmer Fudd hat. Guess never knew real name..

Mac

Try and not call it a "Kromah" though, okay?

Moosetrot

Oh, absolutely, Nessy!

In addition to the orange Holstein patterned Kromer Zim mentioned, I especially like his red one that matches the suspenders on his gray wool ice fishing bibs. Man, he makes that look good!


This one, of course, is a classic.

Stormy Kromers have migrated to up North.... I classed mine up and made it "formal," by adding a hat pin and a couple of elk ivories. Pete

Your a lucky Girl Patrice....to have a hunk like that to snuggle with...

yes pike it Christmas decoration

My wife is pretty good a sewing crafting and such. So after seeing this post earlier today, I said hey can ya make me a Stormy Kromer Hat?? She was like sure I'll get right after it. Surprised she didn't even ask anymore about it?? Material? Pattern?

So she comes few minutes ago throws me this hat says here is your Stormy Kromer.... I'm like what? That is not a Stormy Kromer?? She said isn't that the name of Lady lives at the Airport on Life Below Zero???? No No that is Sue.. aahaha god I'm going Die!

So now I got a hat looks like I'll probably be lunch for an Apex Predator..



Actually she made this for a friend of my son's little boy. I got yelled at for stretching it a bit..Oups! Maybe I should have her make one for Patrice to wear when she is out in their back 40 shooting deer.. Or maybe it would scare girls to much?? Can't be having that..


Mac

Well here is the one I picked up and I promise to sport it while checking coyote traps this winter!
Thanks again Zim and Patrice!!!
Jim

I was looking at their Tour of the factory. I wonder if someone could pull up the 4 split screen shot of the young lady and post it here.

That's a real beauty jabNE, the Leinie's monogram gives it a real touch of class!

Zim

And thank you for clarifying that Ed is not sporting one of these. My family was a little worried about me wanting a stormy.
Jim

YES, I AM!!!

Beautiful, Mac! That does look like a Sue hat! I think the girls would love it too Hey, maybe we can make some little tiny ones for them to wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JabNE, that is a fine lookin' hat you have right there! Glad you saw that we finally saw your thread. It's been a bit crazy and random around here lately, but we're glad we eventually caught up with you!
