Yes, the ribbon on the Miller Indy is 1 3/4 inches, and it needs to be 1 1/2 inches. Otherwise it is a fur felt hat and is probably of a good quality. It also has the taller crown which in my opinion is essential. Changing the ribbon is really easy and you could have it done or do it yourself. Hippodrome Hatters also has a good looking fedora called the G-Man which also has the taller crown, but the brim size is 2 5/8 inches, and that is just a little short, but still usable for an Indy fedora. I would go with the Miller hat and just change the ribbon. That's what I am doing. regards, steve
