Since 1903, the Stormy Kromer brand has come to embody the independence, wit and grit of the upper Midwest.

It all started with a cap. George “Stormy” Kromer , a semi-pro baseball player and railroad engineer, kept losing his hat on the train. He asked his wife, Ida, to sew an earband on his favorite cap to keep his ears warm and the hat snug. It worked.

The team at Midwest Outdoor Sales is honored to share the passion and history of Stormy Kromer with our retailers and their loyal customers in the heartland of the Midwest. Come explore what has made these wool caps an icon for over 117 years! Whether you are snowshoeing, waiting out that trophy buck, walking the dog on a frigid day or simply hanging with friends over your favorite pint, your Stormy Kromer will keep you warm and looking good along the way.
