: I need you guys to set me straight on something: If someone wanted to really copy the Indy fadora, why not just buy one of HJ's and just copy it? Why can't it just come ready to wear? Are there legal problems? Miller must know the width of the ribbon. Why not do it right? I am not confident to do the modifications. I am sure you guys are real savy on this. Help me here. Thanks

I think Miller just doesn't want to be bothered with "doing it right". Imagine HJ simply selling you the Poet and saying "Here, you modify it". It's really not that hard to modify a hat. It took me
maybe an hour. Then again I've been going back to the steam pot
and tweaking it here and there. The only thing illegal would be to
put the Indy name on the Miller, which they didn't.

Cheers

Ellison
