Since 1903, the Stormy Kromer brand has come to embody the independence, wit and grit of the upper Midwest. It all started with a cap. 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 and for more than a 100 years, winters have been better, warmer and well…more stylish!
Since 2001, this Iconic brand found its home in Michigan with an Upper Peninsula family that proudly have added to the story and legend of this notable brand! Bob Jacquart serves as CEO, walking the shop floor, popping in on factory tours, and planning for the future. His two daughters have joined the team. Listen in on how they are growing and developing the company they love! Bob is a rare leader with deep convictions on treating people right and preparing the new generation to take the lead.
