Stormy Kromer was founded in 1903 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula after George “Stormy” Kromer, a railroad engineer, designed a cap that could stay secure in strong winds and cold conditions. What began as a practical solution for working outdoors quickly became a staple for laborers, hunters, and cold-weather workers across the Midwest. In the 1990s Bob Jacquart of Ironwood, Michigan’s Jacquart Fabrics resurrected the brand and broadened its product line to include clothing for the entire family. Today, more than a century after the first Stormy Kromer cap was worn, this iconic American company remains deeply rooted in its original purpose: providing warmth, comfort, and durability in harsh environments.
The brand is best known for its iconic caps, but its product line has expanded to include outerwear, shirts, and accessories designed for cold-weather performance. Stormy Kromer emphasizes rugged materials, functional design, and craftsmanship, with many products still made in the USA. By combining traditional patterns with modern fabrics and insulation, the brand continues to serve workers who spend long hours exposed to wind, snow, and cold temperatures.
