I Love My Keppler Fedora

Post by Crakajak »

Hello all fellow Indyfans,

I got my Keppler Raider's Fedora today and I have to attest to Lee Keppler's craftsmanship. It has a great feel, its soft, you can crush it as much as you want and it doesn't loose shape (in fact it made mine look better!), and most importantly, it is VERY screen accurate. I will try posting a picture for you guys, but I am new to forum mechanics. Also alot of the pictures are dark, and some I tried to fix w/ brightness/contrast adjustments, so please forgive such details. Oh, and the last one I just put in there for fun (I always wanted to be in an Indy poster).

That looks cool. Always wondered about kepplers. Maybe I'll get one, one day. The center dent doesn't seem deep enough, but i might be lying. Not sure.

I am really liking the color of the kepplers. I wish I had money to buy one.

Nice hat. Kepplers seem to be making a big come back around here lately.

I'm sure the AB wait time has a little to do with that.

Lee is the man, he offers great products, service, and advice. Unfortunatly I had put a Keppler Fedora in the Cairo Bazaar(too small)
But it sure is a nice lid....

And I'm the lucky new owner of Bowie's Keppler fedora. It's a beautiful hat! There's actually a little bit of room when it's on me, but I'm going to put a small strip of foam rubber inside the sweatband to make it more snug. I'm thinking about giving it a turn too, but it's hard to change it 'cause it looks so pretty as is. Here's a pic... (forgive my blank expression - it was 1am when I took this photo)
