Does anyone have a stormy kromer wool rancher cap? I’m thinking about buying one but don’t know if it’s worth the money.

I am looking at getting one for hunting, I had an old due north beanie with bill that I lost. I wish I could find another source for a new one.Yes, I have one. It is amazing. It's the warmest hat I've ever worn. I don't use it until at least 32 F. Even then, walking it can get hot.
2 tips. What it is made out of varies by the color pattern. If you want all wool, then you have to find those colors, etc. Mine is camo and I think a blend. Also, I think they give their measurements on this hat not taking into account the insulation on the inside choking the hat down. I measured my head per instructions and ordered that Rancher. It was so tight there was no way. I sent it back twice I think and ended up with 2 sizes above what they recommend. So, be sure where you order it from has a good return policy. I wish it had a webbing adjuster in the back, but then it wouldn't look as cool.
Oh, other downside is it looks huge and unless you have a Brock Lesnar neck you are gonna look like a toadstool from Mario Bros walking around the woods!
Oh, one more downside. It is dry clean only, and I think they mean it. I have considered buying a backup due to that. If it were colder here and I wore it for weeks on end, I'd probably already have a second one.
PS....I know OP knows this, but for others reading....the Rancher is not the usual Stormy Kromer. It is the Stormy on steroids (bigger ear flaps and batted insulation under the wool).
Same here, I love mineI've been using the same Carhartt beanie with a bill since before Carhartt was cool (got it in 2007 I think while I was working on building my parents house). Works great but I don't think it's made any more. I do struggle with wanting the ears to be covered for warmth but also wanting them uncovered so I can hear.
