What do you think of my New Keppler?

Post by Undecagon »

Just got my new Keppler in, and I think it's great. Wanted to hear what you guys think of the fit/bash/general look of the thing. Also, you can just sort of tell, but right now my hair is being kept a big longer and I tend to change between this style and a haircut that more closely resembles that of Indy. I've been reading about how hats can shrink up and fit really nicely w/ sweat and time and such, so I was wondering if the changing of hair was going to have any big effect or not.

Thanks!

That looks really nice. Is that the 100% beaver or the blend?

Thats a nice bash. Did you bash it yourself or did Lee?

Great to see some more pics of Lee's beaver hat. Take some photos in natural lighting and have somone take them for you...when you take the photos yourself it is very unflattering for the hat.

Yeah, I agree that's a great hat. I really like the color, ribbon and the shape. :notworthy: :notworthy:

I'm sure you can get these open crowned, correct? :-k

Looks good from this monitor. Very nice, and Lee did a good job on the bash.

Cheers!

Freakin' awesome, dude. I'm still waiting for my rabbit/beaver blend hat to arrive.
Gonna have to give Lee a call in a week or so ( keeping fingers crossed [-o< ). Image

Anyone else receive Lee's new hat? I'd love to see more pics of it. ;-)

I can't remember but are these factory made, like the Henry? :-k

I believe these are factory made Beaver Brand like his blend hats. Not sure but I think so. That's a really nice hat. I think I'd give it turn to get that nice swoop. Of course, not everyone's into that. If not, just ignore me. :)

Nice looking hat. I have the blended Idol Brab and love it. BTW, does anyone know when Lee is getting his site up? Its been since August that he mentioned to me that it was almost complete. It would be a great place to show off the new line.

I love it? Is the ribbon an 1 1/2? I have those on my hats....but compared to the pics on COW it looks small. Maybe it is just me

Nice lid!

I really like the brim... It looks wider than some hats I've seen. What is the width of the sides and the front/back in inches on this one?

Thanks!

Lee has such a great dedication to his work. Getting that 100% Beaver was a heck of an accomplishment :notworthy:

But an added plus about his hats, he bashes them himself :lol:
...leaving one heck of an impression on any costumer.

Good looking hat btw :)

Great looking hat! And I echo what others have said, suits you well!

Now to just be able to afford one of Lee's 100% Beavers! I'm getting very tempted to buy another Keppler.
