Well as I've said many times before I love the HJ hat and I think it is worth the wait but I just ordered an Indiana Miller when I saw how nice they looked. I also just sent my HJ fedora back to the HJ shop to be resized and reblocked. And about the HJs being a Stetson, I have a hard time believing that because HJ shapes their own felt which they previously purchased from Christies of London, and now I think get their felt from someone else. Fedoras are originally large round sheets of felt that are shaped and cut using various tools. I think the custom hatter has a webpage that talks all about how they are made. I think that would be strange that HJ a custom hatter known for its high quality hand made hats would buy cheeper inferior machine made hats from a competitor to resell. But thats my opinion and I could be totally wrong as I have been many times in my life. And in closing don't go to Georgia Tech...it sucks!!
