Local Boy,
Just to give you a little more insight on Stormy Kromer vs. Elmer Fudd hat attire:

Elmer Fudd's hat is tied on the top of the crown. When untied at the top the flaps could be pulled over the ears and tied under the chin. The original Stormy Kromer hat is tied in the front just above the bill. It was designed that way so it would stay on the head better, a design of necessity when working on a train as Mr. Kromer had done as his store bought cap kept being taken off with the wind. The cap can be pulled over the ears, but the string does not get untied to do so. The design goes back to 1903. This hat has a cult-like following, you should get one. It fits in with the Krag hay-days of hunting with one. They kinda go hand in hand.

Now you know more than you probably wanted to. Just wanted to set the record straight.  ;)
