: This is the hat! If you don't want to spend a lot of money

: and waiting to replace the 1 3/4" ribbon it comes with. My trusty
: copper tea pot steamed away till I dropped the brim enough and a

As far as I am concerned, the search is indeed over. This Miller hat is identical to my Custom Hatter fedora, and it is much less expensive. Until you have actually had one in hand, you don't know just how close this hat is. Miller Hats messed up my order and sent me the 2 5/8 instead of the 2 3/4. I wish now I had of sent it back and got the proper brim. I just ordered another one, and hopefully they will get it right this time. Now if Miller would just get with the program and give us this hat with a dimensional cut brim along with the proper sized ribbon. Regardless, this is surely the hat to use if you are looking for a higher crowned fedora that is of top quality. regards, Steve
