Adding to the Kromer Collection

By

A while back I decided I needed an alternative to a ski hat for the winters here in the Valley. My first Stormy Kromer was a nice refined green wool one (it has even been to the White House). I later added a waxed cotton one to use when guiding in the rain.

At some point this fall/winter I mentioned to MRS that I fancied a buffalo plaid one. To my delight Lily gave me one for Christmas.

If you don’t know about Stormy Kromer hats you should. They are classics.

Llama kissing avoided!

For those of you following the Stormy Kromer cap saga, the good news is the llama has been spared.

Just another reason we love our SK caps.

More details as they become available. Stay tuned!

In the meantime check out this episode of Under the Radar Michigan. The Stormy Kromer caps story starts at about the 11 minute mark

Chris Hunt shouldn’t have to kiss a Llama…

By

My good friend Chris Hunt who writes the very entertaining and informative Eat More Brook Trout has prostrated himself before the hat gods.

He read about my Waxed Cotton Cap like this one:

Waxed Cotton Stormy Kromer Cap

But what he really wants is a Hunter Green Original Wool Stormy Kromer Cap like this one:

I feel for him…

they are pretty sweet brain toppers…

So I am taking up a collection of sorts for Mr. Hunt. So he no longer suffers from lid envy and keeps his creative noggin warm.

Drop a line to Stormy Kromer Mercantile and tell them you think Chris deserves a hat. Include this link – http://www.eatmorebrooktrout.com/2011/04/coveting-thy-lid.html – to his blog post so they know what the hell is going on.

It is the least we can do for the poor boy.
