P.S. Is it okay to crush it like you do in the video?

Fritz,

How long did it take to get your hat from Lee, from the time you ordered? Thanks.

Bring on the photos. I'm excited to see what I will be recieving in about two weeks! I come home everyday and hope that maybe the hat was finished early and would be at my door. Oh well...

I'm so happy for you!!! I love my Keppler and yes I softened it per Lee's video. I also sat on it twice and fell asleep with it on once further turning it from Raven Bar into Cairo... :D

If the hat is a bit stiff, GENTLY crush it just like in the video. It'll pop right back up :D Lee's just a master at keeping the hats in shape.

Nice lid. I'm a big keppler fan. I'd love to have an AB. With the wait time and the price increase coming I doubt I will ever have one :cry:

I ordered a Keppler this week as well. Lee was very nice and helpful on the phone. I already have a Magnoli HJ, but am going fishing up in Canada this summer and wanted some beaver blend to protect the hat. I am going for the KOTCS bash. Let you know when it comes.

PS, the hat looks awesome!

Cheers,

How long did it take?

Post by M1917 »

I ordered my hat, gunbelt and bag strap from Lee on/about 22Mar08. I received the box from Lee on May 1st. So it took between five and six weeks from date of order. Great service for a custom-made product. Thanks again Lee!

Now, how do I convert one of my new photos to an avatar?

just resize the photo in some sort of photo editing software like Photoshop, or one of the many others Make it the required size for avatars here.. which I think the longest side can only be 100. then upload it somewhere online and then enter the link into your profile info page at the avatar link box.

is that plain enough, or confusing? Forgive me if it's confusing.. I have a cold
