In Kaukauna, Wisconsin
, at the turn of the century, George Kromer, an engineer for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, decided that there was not available a single cap of quality materials and manufacture which suited the needs of railroad men. So he made one.

Kromer drew up the design and specifications. His wife, Ida, did the cutting and sewing. The cap had to be one-hundred percent cloth with a soft flexible visor. It had to cling to the head despite strong gusts of wind that plagued rail hands everywhere. Ida Kromer added her own touches., a sweatband of absorbent cloth and an outside band which could be pulled down over the ears. The Kromer cap was born.

Demand for Kromer caps increased many times over, throughout the world. The original railroad cap was joined by plain colored, polka-dot and multicolored designs for indoor and outdoor workmen, welders and sportsmen.

Kromer Cap Co., Inc. continues to produce the entire lines of tradtional cotton headwear. The winter wool cap production, however, has now been taken over by Jacquart Fabric Products, Inc.

Although sales continue to increase and manufacturing techniques at our Wisconsin manufacturing facilities have been updated, one practice remains from the days George and Ida Kromer worked in their Kaukauna home.

Each Kromer Cap is still individually inspected.
