STORMY KROMER HATS
For those of you who are not acquainted with Stormy Kromer hats, they have been in business for 103 years. They have not changed their basic style for all these years. However, they have in recent years changed the insulation that they use in their hats to Lamilite. It has been about 5 years now. During the past 5 years their purchases of Lamilite have steadily grown. That suggests to me that Lamilite has helped, I hope so.
I have listed below the four styles that use the Lamilite for the coldest temperatures.
They tell me they will have more styles in the near future to choose from.
I am very proud to be a part of a 103 year old company.
Imagine if some of the outerwear firms that buy their stuff off shore returned to the USA they too might buy Lamilite to the benefit of their customers.
