Our newbie at Deer Camp showed up with a Hunter Orange Stormy Kromer last year and Angus heard me being effusive about it. He decided I needed one of my own. That's what he got me for Christmas:



I couldn't be happier! I immediately overheated in it sitting indoors.

Merry Christmas!

I have three of them

Seven at my house.......slackers.......😉

I am wearing mine right now. Nothing else, just the hat.

I will never get that picture out of my head, THANKS!

Great hats!

Havev7-8 here, Great hats!

That’s a mug shot right…………….!!!

Woohoo!! Love it!!!

Got my first before deer season this year.

The Rancher- heck of a hat

I've been wearing one for years. It's not as warm as the hood on my down jacket but it's enough unless the wind's blowing and the chill factor is way down.

Looks like it.

i have several. the goretex orange one is particularly good for hunting. i have them for working, hunting and a green plaid for a "dress" hat.

I've been wearing these for almost 40 years. Still have and use the 40 year old one.

Fudd hat wearers unite!!!!

When does one let the flaps down?

If that photo ain’t made for Dateline NBC, I don’t know what is.

LOL

When's it's cold.

Man, I need to get me one of these. Too bad our winter this year is averaging high 70s so far.

Is there a threaded stud up there for the propeller ? 😃

I have one stand where I'm usually facing into the sun. It's been a productive location, and even though success there results in a long hike out, I'm there a lot.

The brim helps with the sun. Wearing a winter sticking cap sucks in that stand.

I could wear a knit cap over a baseball cap, but where's the fun in that????

That's a problem I have with most hats - too much space between the hat and the top of my ears. On most hats the ear flaps don't cover them. The Kromer does.

He needs larger glasses. Nice hat though.

Shalman this picture looks like John Goodman’s mugshot for a DUI charge. Are you sure that’s you?

Yes there is. That's why they are propular......

If Ed Gein had a son.....

Neighbors say he was a quiet man that kept mostly to himself. They assumed all the digging was just gardening. No one noticed anything was wrong until his mother's social security checks stopped getting cashed in person....

Same. I love them.

Grear color. The same as mine.

Ed Zachary.

My 10 dollar knockoff

chortle

have one...gray

good product

Nice, Wabi.

I tried one a couple of years ago. A TINY little beanie cap, and the "ear flap" , when pulled down, just BARELY caught the tops of my ears. Pretty useless. Expensive and useless.

I have been told that several years ago, they redesigned the cap and thoroughly hipsterized it, and it was a much more practical piece of headgear long ago..

Have an old red one that was my Dad's back before hunter orange was a thing.

Excellent photo.

They're pretty great, aren't they? Mine is the plain dark green with the ear covering that folds up inside. I think I may have gotten it in the Classifieds here.

Norm

Ya know...I'm a "Hat Guy" so I had to look these up. Turns out, I already have a nice heavy wool brimmed cap with fold-down earflaps - except mine has the earflaps tucked inside. Much nicer design, I think. Lots cheaper, too. So I'm gonna pass on ordering a Stormy.

Anything of the general type is thoroughly practical, though. Warm, water resistant, windproof, can be worn several ways.

Now they ought drop the cheap Stormy stitching on the back.

The picture needs its own thread, but my Kromer gets compliments just about every time I wear it.

Fearless Fly, with a Stormy Fudd hat. Lmao! They used to make a good hat. Dont know anything about the new ones.

There was thread awhile back about some guy that took a beanie and wore it over a ball cap.


I guess it works.

Got a couple. They're exactly the same as the one my grandfather bought when my dad was a kid. Near as I can see.

That’s how I roll

Cedar Breaks ball cap and yellow day-glo dumptruck driver beanie

Trend-setter! No tassel on the beanie I hope.

Tassels are optional but a no for me.

I used to wear a vinyl cap when I milked by hand, the cowhair did not stick to the cap.

I have a couple of them myself

So do I.

They suck.

If it's cold and windy I really don't give a flying F what I look like.
Give me a thick wool beanie or a bomber.

So that’s your happy face?

Your stylin' now !

Merry Christmas

My gray one went floating down a certain creek a little over a month ago

I like the puff ball on top.

Poor fella. Sometimes they don't look the same in real life compared to the catalog pictures.

Think I'll get a size or two larger. They seem to run small.

A few years ago I stopped at Shipton's Big R in Lewiston Mt and bought a Stormy Kromer Rancher's hat and a silk kerchief scarf. When I got home in Wisconsin my wife said "I can see you were hanging out with your drug store cowboy cousins". I continue to wear a "radar" cap in real cold weather.

Thanks all for the (mostly) kind comments.

As to it uses, shortly after I took that picture, I wandered into the family room and sat down. I was enjoying a plate of venison goetta in front of the TV when the screen got really dark around the margins. It has been slowly degrading since summer. It reminded me that it high time to replace the darn thing. I went back into my office and looked up who had the best deal on a 52" or better screen.

Long story short: I was at Best Buy when it opened up. I had bought a 70-incher on sale. It was one of those in-store pickup gigs, where you show the fellow your receipt and he goes in the back and wheels out the purchase. The counter monkey I talked to told me to bring the truck around front, and he would bring it out to me. I complied.

Here's the odd part. I got my truck up to the front and got out. It was then I realized I was behind 2 other trucks ( a Ford and a GMC), and they were piloted by over-weight middle-aged men conforming to my general affect. What are the odds? What's more, we were all three going after the 70" Samsungs that were on sale.

Me? I definitely had them on hats. My Stormy Kromer was the king of the lot.

The epilog: By Noon, the old set was out, the new set was in, and I was able to watch absolutely the best afternoon of football, a Cincinnati Bengals fan could imagine: back to back to back Green Bay beating the Browns, the Bengals beating the snot out of the Ravens and the Chiefs laying waste to the Steelers.

Hats on to you Shaman!

GO PACK GO!!!! Now you look like the rest of we handsome Yoopers, EH.

Got the little woman a new one for Christmas

Bought my first this year in Colorado - wool orange original. Bought one for my Dad for Christmas. Been eyeing another in the green for a winter hat.

I got my first one for Christmas in 2003. I'm not sure when I got my orange one, but the brim and the pull down ear flap are way smaller. The older ones were better

Made in MI
a Midwest tradition
I am not a huge hat guy but I have a few Kromers

Hank

I think that’s a Horny Kromer!

Fugk yeah, Sammo!

Used to do work from time to time for my great grandfather.

No kidding? Let me guess: "really good worker but a bit strange"...

Is that Ed Gein?

No kidding.

I don't remember my great grandfather too much. My grandfather told me about it as we drove past Ed's property on the way to ours in Plaifield. I was 14 or so.

Having the top button on your shirt buttoned is a critical part of the Ed Gein look.

Steven Avery approves this message.

Why wear one hat, when two will do?

Oh, it's a fuggin Bears hat. That explains everything.

#highlinestrong

Somebody will have to explain it to you.

Since you’re stupid.

LOL

Stitch work?

Maybe a ballcap under this...keeping with your 2 hats at a time gig. Soft, warm, and some protection when you go full 'tard.

Lol.

Dear.............Does this hat make my head look fat?

Stick to Michigan.

LOl
