Steaming works fine, that's how I did it. I then proceeded to iron the brim with a steam iron and cut the sides. Actually, I've cut the brim on all my hats (three of them) and it greatly improved their looks. However, there is a slightly easier method to cut the brim - use a pattern!
One more thing, though. I know the Miller meets all the specs, but these specs work out great for HF or anyone with a similar head/face size. The proportions are crucial. I wear size 7 and to tell you the truth, when I put the hat on, it seems to be bigger than my face, which makes me look more like a cowboy than the next Indy:). I think I'll be ordering a custom fedora from Peters Bros as soon as I work out all the measurements suitable for me.
Still, one has to buy their share of hats to work out all those details in order to obtain the one, true... well, you know.
