I was recently provided with photos of Lee Keppler's fedora, by Lee himself, and since the pictures on his site aren't working I thought that I'd put them up here for others to see.
Thanks, Nassik, for posting the photos. I've had one of lee's hats on order since early April. After seeing it, I'm more anxious than ever for it to arrive.
I spoke with Lee last week, and indeed, he has been having a problem with the ribbon supplier. It didn't sound as if the problem was going to be solved immediately. Lee clearly has very high standards for his products and he is unwilling to send out anything that isn't up to spec. Even though I'm anxious to get the hat, I'm willing to wait and get a hat I know I'll be happy with. Lee is an honorable vendor and I know he'll take care of us.

I spoke with Lee yesterday. The ribbon issue is still a problem. He says it will take a few more weeks. He offered to send me a hat minus the improved ribbon, but I declined preferring to have him send me his top of the line. I can wait a few more weeks for that.
I love the Keppler!!! Since mine was too big I already sold it and contacted Lee about a new one. I will assuredly be ordering one of these in the near future!!!
