Gus Miller made my fedora in two days so I could have my hat that was stolen replaced. What A great man he is! It will be at my door at 1pm July 15,2008!!!
I am so excited I will have my favorite hat back again!!!

Two days? Is it possible to make a hat from scratch in that time?
Did he have a pre-blocked body to work from?
Just wondering how this works..

How did you get your hat stolen? That is terrible!

But I'm glad to hear Gus is taking care of you.


I had set it down on a DJ Booth because I was dancing and when I came back my hat was gone.

Metro that is one beautiful hat, dont let this one out of your site. I noticed you went from a 2 5/8 brim to 2 1/2. Which do you like the best?

I prefer the 2 5/8.;) I haven't measured this one yet but Gus said they already cut the brim shorter and it would be hard for a 2 5/8 brim. It looks a little shorter to me but I could be wrong. The brim does not droop down like the last one and it could be a matter of my false perception. The Grey is darker and feels like a different felt.Still as much as I like my Optimo fedoras on me and vintage fedoras including 40's-70's Borsalino's from ebay I still like my second Gus Miller more than all of the rest!!!!

I will measure the brim tommorow.

This second fedora is a very different hat but I love it the same. I actually wanted the shade of grey I got now on my first hat.

The fedora was finished in two days of ordering it. It was $250 Then he was a gentlemen and charged me 25 dollars for next day delivery!:eusa_clap



I will measure the brim today.

I just saw Gus and Ana (Anna?) yesterday. We talked briefly about your hat. They are too funny. I think Gus said that the next day someone, perhaps from the lounge, called up and ordered one just like it.

On a side note, I'd asked for a Meditterranean blue ribbon request. Gus then joked with me that he'd just returned from the Meditteranean and that the blue color changes from the morning to the afternoon. How the heck should he know what color to put on the hat (Anna made two ribbons for our customer).

Ummm? I wonder who that could be?

I'm sure Gus knows, but he didn't tell me. I know he's got a great memory, because he asked about all of my kids (Ana, too!) and we visited more than a year ago.

There was an R/B festival a few blocks away. Needless to say, the place was hopping!
