EquipmentJunkie 221 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I have a Stormy Kromer hat and like it. I run hot, so if I'm wearing it you know it's cold outside. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lightninboy 448 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Kromers cost a lot now and if you untie them it's tricky to get them tied back right and they shrink if you wash them and they make you look like a Civil War soldier. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rawleigh99 826 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I don't think you are supposed to wash them as they are made of wool. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably chinese made and not sure where they're at. I just wanted a cap with ear flaps. I will keep this sight saved though. I'm trying to save sight with USA products. Thanks!

sandhiller 14,721 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Never washed it or untied it The ear flap thing that folds down from inside the cap is all I've ever needed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for affirming Johnson Woolen Mills. It's been on my list to visit. Sadly, I only learned about Johnson after visiting The Alchemist, Hunger Mountain Co-op, and The Prohibition Pig a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to start anything cuz I cant' back anything up. Some repellancy some magic, I dunno. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
