I purchased this from a friend and they took off the hat band. It’s barely noticeable and if you have a band it will cover up the glue just fine. Price reflects. Better than your grandfather's fedora. Modern + sharp, Miller is a classic staple with a modern feel. We consider this style to have a tall, defined pinched fedora crown + a structured wide flat brim. Miller features a hand-sewn suede band that layers seamlessly with additional hat accessories.
