Sounds like a great experience. Thanks for sharing.

It's unreal to think they sell that many Indiana Millers each week. But I wonder why, when you're out running around with a fedora on you never see anyone else wearing one? There must be a lot of hats gathering dust in peoples' closets.

I blame John Kennedy; he killed the gentlemanly art of hat wearing. He didn't want to mess-up his bouffant do. Before he was inaugurated almost every man wore a hat in public or he wasn't considered completely dressed. Then, Jack goes to Dallas and, depending on which theory you subscribe to....hey, wait a minute. It wasn't the CIA or the mob or the extremem right-wing wackos or a combination of the three. I think Joe, Jr., in DALLAS has some explaining to do. Probably Joe, Sr., based on the time period. Anyway...I better quit.

: I just got back from a trip to Houston Texas where Miller hats is based and personally picked up my fedora! Great storefront with SOO many different styles of hats to check out. I got to try on several sizes unti lI found the exact one that fit my noggin and thenhe steamed and dented it there on the spot for me. It was a bit o' fun to say the least. She turned out like a beauty and I was totally happy with the service. The head fellow there said that they actually sell about 12 hats a week of the Indiana Miller model. Not bad huh!

: Well thought you'd folks would like to hear my about my instore appearance at Miller Hats, and fully recommend it. Oh yeah NASA and the Star Wars: Magic of Myth exhibit were also a blast to see as well while in Houston.
