does anyone know if they still make these? where to find them?

No sir but if you call them, they are very accommodating with custom order. They might have leftover fabric but it gonna cost you.

Have you looked at the kromers from Ron LaClair?

camo tin cloth with the fold down ear flaps and filson wool inside with the bowhunter brim?? whats your head size?

I think the Classic Sportsman (see in Tradgang vendor list above) Bowman Brim hat is one of the finest quality out there. It's wool with a quilted liner and the fold down ear flaps (which wraps around the back of your neck as well) is the nicest hunting cap I've ever worn.

Here's mine with flaps up for normal wear. When down, the flaps completely cover my ears and it's lined with a wooly looking fleece.

by the way, the shirt I'm wearing is their Grousehaven wool shirt. All of their products have impeccable tailoring and quality. I've had Filson products too and you will not be disappointed in Classic Bowman compared to Filson.

I was at the Filson store in Seattle a couple of years ago looking for a camo Packer hat and was told the camo line had been discontinued.

I have one and wear it a lot; guess I had better keep it. I would think the Kromers would be as good or better.

X2 on the Kromers, I have 2 of them and they are wonderful

have a both kromer and a classic sportsman....imho the classic sportsman is warmer due to the extra ear flap..one on the outside and another on the inside if needed....they have several plaid patterns

both are very well made...I use the kromer early season and the classic sportsman in colder weather...

Not to highjack the thread or get totally off subject,but is the Kromer the one designed by a railroad engineer?

Yes, the Kromer is the one designed by the railroad engineer. I've got several of them and they're an excellent hat. I'd put them at an 7.5 out of 10 and the Classic Bowman at a 9 out of 10.

When your talking Kromers, is it Stormy Kromer not Kromer? two different hat makers.

I don't believe they either have in camo.

wooddamon1 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2014, 11:14:00 AM »

Not sure if you can still buy new, but Stormy Kromer made them in camo.

I'll post a pic later from my laptop if you're interested.

Cabelas has the Stormy Kromer in their wool Outfitter Camo. I just got one about two weeks ago.

I have both the filson packer hat and the kromers and the filson is a lot warmer I've worn it down to zero degrees, more heavy duty with wool inside tin cloth and comes all the way down covering your neck.

my Kromer I prefer in temps no colder than 30 degrees, and the visors are long so I cut them shorter.

both decent hats next I want the classic sportsman with bow hunters brim though.

Just received my Bowman Brim Hat that I ordered after reading the reviews on this thread. Iam more than happy with the hat and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, good fitting hat with several options for foul weather. I bought the Timber Plaid that will work great as a camo hat. Free same day shipping. It took 4 days to get here from NJ. Mike

Mike how stiff is the brim? I guess in other words does it interfere with the bow string any?
I have a cheap fleece short brim I picked up somewhere that the brim has a cardboard stiffener inside and it is too stiff and bothers me getting to anchor. Was hoping Classic Bowman hat brim was soft enough that I wouldn't notice string getting into it.

If camo is discontinued, the tin cloth is great. I wouldn't hesitate to wear it anywhere I needed camo.

Austin, the brim seems fairly stiff but is a short 1.75" designed for bowhunters. I just finished shooting my longbow with no issues what so ever. Hope this helps. Mike
