: : Which hat is more like the original ...the Peter Brothers hat (Patterson model) or the Indiana Miller fedora from Miller hats??
: : Which one would you recommend getting (besides from a Herbert Johnson)???
: The Miller is the best hat out of the box but the Peters. Bros. is CUSTOM made, just send Joe Jr some pictures and he will make a great hat. The Patterson looks very good and the Miller (reshaped) too. You will be very happy if you buy the Miller or the Patterson, both are great hats at a good price.
: Hope this could help.

The Miller is an excellant hat if you wear anything smaller than, say, a 7.5. On larger sizes, it loses its proportionality. My son has a Miller (size 7) with the 2.75 brim, and it looks terrific! On me, a 7.625 looks way too short, and the brim is not wide enough. For me, the Peters Brothers is the only way to go.
Hope this helps - cheers!
