Guess my LC hat
While I anxiously await the arrival of my Henry, I figured I'd kill some time by taking some pics of my LC hat and seeing if ya'll could guess the make.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!
It is indeed an Indiana Miller that I replaced the ribbon with a Todd's.

Good Job Tremolo, I figured it would just take someone who actually owns a Miller to identify it!

Thanks G! It was my first attempt at doing a ribbon, I was quite pleased at how it turned out too. I half used Dalexs' tutorial and half copied what I saw on my AB. It really wasn't that hard once you understand the concept. I don't consider myself sewing inclined at all, so don't be afraid to replace your ribbons. The Indiana Miller is a really great looking LC hat once you replace that danged shiny ribbon!

Oh, Dave I understand. It's just very hard to tell the color when it comes to a photo but the edge of the ribbon screams to me.
The Todd replacement ribbon is close in color only. It has a raw edge and it's not a true hat ribbon.
Most hatters either go with a lighter color then whats really needed for a Indy hat or go with Black ribbon. You can get the color closer if you go with something other than a hat ribbon.
Thats why The AB, ABD and now AB "Henry" has such a great look to it because it's a true hat ribbon and the right color. It also doesn't have a high sheen to it like most modern ribbons.

I can't see a difference either. I don't have my AB yet, but I have seen another COW member's AB and the ribbons are identical. Anyway, back to the thread topic. That is a nice looking Miller. You don't see too many of them here these days. I know they were popular a while ago. I guess like everything else here (except ABs and ABDs) their popularity swings like a pendulum.
