I have a Keppler and love it! I don't wear mine everyday like most of the guys here do so I'm not sure you wanna count my opionion in here; but for the record, mine has held up great. One of my favorite things about it is the color.

Mine is still in one peice after I have jumped off cliffs int he desert, waterfalls in scotland, slept on rocky beaches in it, had it stood on, sat on, walked on and kicked (I kicked it myself I must admit).

The Keppler is a rugged fedora. No holes or anything. Its a survivor.

Indiana Tone has one, and he swears by it. Indiana Ken's seems to have served him pretty well, too.

Indiana Ken's has served him well. It's in an Indiana Jones movie, on his head, and he plays Indy. I just watched it with my daughter. It's very good. I must say that he is lucky I wasn't in the scene. I never miss with a rifle.

I went through alotta hats cause I wanted a high quality lid that actually fit my face and Lee was the only one who was able to accomplish it. Every other Indy Hat I tried on or bought looked too high in the crown or too wide in the brim. The man made up a custom for me and it was the best hat for me that I owned.

I remember yours being pretty stiff compared to other ones... did you add something, or was that how it came?

I guess you can be confident you won't lose the bash though. And that front pinch was very tight - which is good!

EDIT: Nice avatar!

In Christ,

Shane, nope nothing had been added to it. I do need to work on making it softer. I'm sure if I wore it everyday, it would not be so stiff.
