My first post, about my Beaver Brand Keppler....

Post by KingNothing »

Just thought I'd start off with a nice post about my Keppler Beaver Brand Fedora. I got it on the RPF a while back, and I love it. Unfortunately it's a bit big, so I can only where it when my hair is long (which isn't often). I hope to get a full Indy together when I get back from Australia. :D

I hope to learn a lot here and put together the perfect outfit.

But anyways onto the pics! (I don't know why the brim looks distorted in these pics :? )

Welcome aboard, King. I see you over at the RPF all the time. Have you tried putting something inside the sweatband to make the hat fit better? You can put anything in there you want. Rolled up paper towels will even work. I have a few strips of scrap felt I got from the hat shop for one of my hats that's a little too big and it works well, but anything will do.

I have a Keppler as well and I love it! My only suggestion to you would be (besides what Agent 5 recommends) is to lower the back of the hat. Just gently push down on the center dent towards the back. Wear it in good health!
