The Stormy Kromer story started in 1903 with a unique cap design. 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 ear band on his favorite ball cap to keep his ears warm and the hat snug. It worked. A hundred and twenty years later the Stormy Kromer has become an iconic product--being worn by outdoors and celebrities alike.
For our special Stormy Kromer x Ball and Buck collaboration, we integrated our iconic Original Ball and Buck Camo and Signature Canvas material into the outer shell with a cotton flannel lining. The special design of this hat allows the wearer to slide down an ear flap for added wind and weather protection.
