You're right Desi! Guns jump up and shoot people all by themselves every day. Things are always in the news about guns just "going off". Be careful that kitchen stove doesn't walk over and burn someone. All in fun. PLEASE have a sense of humor.

I have an HJ, an Akubra Fed lV and an Optimo. I recieved a new Keppler blend hat a while ago, and I'm really fond of it. The new felt is as soft as the Optimo, but a bit less stiff. Lee told me he had to special order the ribbon to get it dark brown enough. And you don't have to bash it yourself. I ...

Slydini, I'd like to see some more pics of your TN. I saw the one Lee Keppler sent to Peter in the mid 1980's to jog his memory away from what he refered to as the "Bellhop" jacket. I took some pics at the QM last year of it which unfortunatly were lost with my camera recently, but the yol...

Lee has a few Train Travelers in stock. I happened to call as he is having severe computer problems and was told that a package of TT's came in and he has an extra quantity of 1-7 1/8, 1-7 1/4 and 1-7 3/8. Get ahold of him at 619-647-6744, as he found his phone again.

And for the record, Lee Keppler makes both the China Clipper and the Train Traveler. I have a CC on the way.

Hey Mechanic, thanks for the Raiders screen grab. The corners and thickness of the Keppler buckle sure match!

And...you might want to contact Lee Keppler and request pictures of his new fedora. I'm getting one out of the first batch. He also has the gray KOTCS train hat.

Sorry, finger slipped :oops: Shirt: Wested or Magnoli Pants Belt: Todd's or Keppler Pants; Magnoli Raiders gunbelt: Keppler Holster: Keppler Whipholder: Comes with the Keppler gunbelt. Whip: Joe Strain Bag: Keppler strap with original bag or Magnoli bag. Keppler has Magnoli bags. Socks: wal Mart. Bl...

Here we go IMO:

Hat: New Keppler. I've seen the prototype.

Glasses: Frames Direct Chase Berkshire Panto

Jacket: Gibson & Barnes Expedition. You only have to buy one.

Now that one looks like the still photos and the screen grabs.

Are they offered "distressed"?

And sometimes the boat gets held up by bad weather.

Ruth's Chris and Denny's both serve steaks. To quote Belloch, "Do as you will"

Go to a shoe store and get your feet measured. Works every time.

Go for the Keppler if you want a screen accurate belt. It doesn't have the add-on leather keeper. He e-mails photos on request.

Just wondering, has anyone measured the ribbon?

I agree with Dr. Ulloa. My Keppler is going on 4 years old. and it just keeps on truckin'. Neither rain, nor snow, or dark of night will stay this hat...oh, sorry. that's the post office motto!. And, yes I have a new Keppler on order. Love the new look. May get a gray too. Can't wait.

When Lucas is involved, that other shoe dropping can be very heavy. Just ask Sgt. Hack.

The angle the belt is at in the screen grab makes it look narrow. Where did NH come up with two narrow keepers??? Hi's buckle looks good, but the SG of the wide keeper is on the same page. Tsk, tsk, NH.

Check in "Guns and Holsters" in the thread, "Lee Keppler's first LC belt and holster" I think that's what you're looking for.

Berore you commit, have Lee Keppler send you a picture of his new hat.

And again, call Lee Keppler I have a 4 year old Keppler and have a new one on order

Also call Lee Keppler about his NEW hat. He can e-mail you a pic of it.I looks like a famous fedora.

You might try a Keppler

Mazda Miatas and Porsche Turbos are both good sports cars. There is always a reason for cheap!

Hmmmmm....two grand for a two hundred dollar jacket. Of course at $200.00 they would have to supply a coupon for having the left sleeve replaced free. Postage included of course. Kinda makes you admire DP. At least their IJ pin is removable.

Just looking for opinions on ribbon width. The Raiders fedora is supposed to have a width of 39mm, right? A 1 1/2" is 38mm. would a 42mm be OK with the 5 1/2" crown, or am I being way too picky?

His number is 619-647-6744.

If you can find the July 15, 1946 Life Magazine, there is an article about Lewis Cotlow, Explorer. He is standing beside a bunch of South American natives holding their shrunken heads.It is a B&W photo, but old Lewis is wearing a light (tan?) safari shirt, darker pleated pants and a fedora. This...

Mimicing Noel Howard does not make an SA belt and whipholder. I received a Keppler belt a couple of weeks ago and it is improved over what is on his website. He said the site hadn't been updated in a few years. This one has the correct tip, buckle, keeper, rivited on , lighter color whipholder with ...

Lee Keppler can do what you want also. See the vendor section.

Just got my belt and holster and wow! I checked a bunch of details with still pics and he really pays attention to the details. The holster is built like a real holster instead of a prop. I've had others, but I'm glad I finally ordered this setup. The belt even has the right number of holes.

If the man that made 'em says grooves, it MUST be right! Just like Wested jackets are ALWAYS SA. Right?
