Patterson:

Are you there?

Before I chop my $115 Indy Miller, I though I ought to check in with you and any other "Hat Choppers" out there
I am the proud owner of an Indy Miller suffering from Big Hat Syndrome.

I suspect a dimensional cut might help. It is a big hat US Size 7-5/8"
with a 2-3/4" all around brim. The Crown seem a tad over 5.5" "bashed" possibly even 5-5/8 un-bashed.

Given the crown hight, brim width, hat size, what type of dimensional "cut" would you recommend? 1/8"? 1/4"? more? less?

Would you suggest the use of a french curve to scribe in the final blending cut? How large should the blending area be? 2"? 3"?

I await your comments.

I'd like to hear from anyone who's "chopped" an Indy Miller Hat...

Tony
