Made In Ironwood, Michigan
Retired semi-pro
baseball player, railroad engineer and general tough character Stormy,
lost a few too many hats to the icy wind whipping through his
locomotive. On a cold morning in 1903, Stormy asked his beloved wife,
Ida, to help him modify one of his many hats from his baseball days by
sewing ear flaps on it. The newly revised cap also featured a soft,
flexible visor and was a great departure from the traditional engineer
hats of the era. But to Stormy, the best part of his modified cap was
that it managed to stay right where it belonged on his head - high
winds and all. To those of us who live in Northern Michigan, a Stormy
Kromer hat is a way of life. Made right here in our own backyard in
Ironwood, Michigan, these high quality caps and outerwear have kept us
warm for over 100 years. Hycreek is proud to be able to share that bit
of our heritage with you.
