Great article helping spread the word on a Great American Hero! However, one important fact has been overlooked: Stormy grew up in and had his inspiration for the fantastic fedora in the great little town of Kaukauna, Wisconsin.

Having grown up there myself just two blocks from those hat-inspiring railroad tracks, I can relate that my mother grew up with the legendary Stormy and often related stories about his hat-making skills.

Also, we must keep in mind the two unique characteristics that distinguish his creation from all other lame imitations: the asymmetrical intersection of the six panels at the top of the dome allowing for a head-conforming fit, and the ear flaps that SLIDE down rather than fold, enabling an all-important head-gripping ability by undercutting the critical back-of-head/neck intersection.

Long live the Kromer-Domer!
