Our story
How we got our start?
In 1903, George “Stormy” Kromer, a baseball player and railroad engineer, kept losing his hat on the train. His wife, Ida, sewed an earband on a ball cap to keep it on his head. It worked. That cap started a line of quality clothing and gear that reflects the wit and grit of the upper Midwest.
What makes our product unique?
Stormy Kromer is the opposite of low-quality fast fashion. In fact, our caps come with a lifetime quality promise. We source the best materials and employ meticulous craftspeople. That means you get to enjoy products that are long-lasting and timeless, with a generous dollop of authenticity and fun.
Why we love what we do?
We live and work in Michigan’s quirky, friendly Upper Peninsula, surrounded by pristine forests, apple-pie small towns, and some of the most innovative, hardest working people you’ll ever meet. And we spend our days finding ways to keep you happy, comfy, and looking good. What’s not to love?
