Be American Made

Celebrating American-made products and those that produce them.

Stormy Kromer

Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. That holds true for Stormy Kromer and their iconic wool cap. It all started with a cap. George “Stormy” Kromer, a semi-pro baseball player and railroad engineer, kept losing his hat on the train.

Zippo Lighters are the most quintessential lighters on the planet it would seem. Is there anyone that hasn’t seen one? Zippo began in the early 1930’s in Bradford, Pennsylvania. After watching a friend struggle with an inefficient lighter, founder George G. Blaisdell decided to construct a new version that was usable with a single hand. The name “Zippo” was created by Mr Blaisdell. He liked the sound of the word “zipper” so he formed variations on the word until he settled on “Zippo,” which he felt had a “modern” sound.
