Stormy Kromer: Stylish Wool Blend Caps

These Stormy Kromer hand-made caps come from the upper peninsula of Michigan are super fashionable and totally functional.  Here's the story about Stormy!

Stormy Kromer was a real person who played semi pro baseball and eventually became an engineer for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad.  As Stormy leaned his head of the train, he lost many caps due to Mother Nature. In 1903, he asked his wife Ida, to modify an old baseball cap in a way to withstand windy weather.  Soon the other railroad workers wanted one of Stormy Kromer's caps for themselves.  That's when the business was born.

Stormy Kromer caps are made with six stitched panels and full cotton lining.  What I like about these caps is the patented ear band system.
