Ok, so here in my new Keppler Fedora!

Details on Lee Keppler's new Beaver Brand Fedora can be found on his recent thread as well as his contact info. If you cant find him here, pm me here if you want to contact him. I cant say enough good things about this hat. I have gone through several Fedoras over the years, lost and damaged as I wear them daily and on my adventures as well so they get well used. I keep coming back to Lee because of the excellent product me makes. The new Beaver Brand is his best yet.
This hat is Rabbit Felt, and costs about $280, he also has a 100% beaver felt hat that is about $400. Price quote may vary from him as Beaver gears up for standard production. A couple of us pulled the trigger as soon as Lee told us he could get new blanks again.



Please, don't make fun of my eyes being crooked, they are, but it really is not obvious and noticeable, except for these photos for some reason, maybe its because they are selfies.

So, yes, they are selfies, because the wife does not like encouraging my Indy side any more, she is so over it, so I had to take them myself, sorry for the delay since I posted in Lee's new hat thread. It was drill weekend too so Im behind the curve of getting things done.

Fantastic looking hat!

Did Lee bash it or did you?

Now all you have to do is lose that 'stache to look like the good Doctor!
