Zetwal, Thanks!

THAT is one NICE LOOKING HAT !! You say it is grey? It looks to be a nice brown w/tan binding and band. Either way It looks GOOD !!

Thanks! It does look greenish - brown in the photo so you might be correct.

Thanks Josh. He has done some excellent work. Someday I will share some of the earlier pieces which are quite different. I have a few of his paintings at my house, including this portrait of me in my better hair days.

That's an incredible picture of you, Alan!! I love your father's work! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you Josh. I'll have to share some of his older pictures, which are also interesting to see. This is one of a few paintings of his that I have at home. The background is taken from this image, one of the first pictures I took with a digital camera. I had given a print to him some years before.

Out this morning with my family in my Akubra Stylemaster

It looks like my hat is a smaller version of yours Monbla.

Nice Stylemaster. I have that same one as well as two others in different colors. They are not similar though. The Squatter is a taller straighter open crowned hat witha a 1/2" bigger brim. Mine is creased in my fave crease, a center dent w/front pinches as opposed to the factory teardrop of the Stylemaster. But BOTH are GREAT hats
Here's my Acorn Fawn (from DM) :

 

[alanfgag]

A favorite of mine too... I was happy when he gave it to me. It's a wonderful and comforting thing how you remain a boy in your parent's eyes.

cheers,
Alan

A portrait befitting a Space Cowboy. Might your Dad consider painting a portrait of you with one of your signature hats?

I've been hoping... and watching and waiting...

That's actually a little creepy...

*shiver*

 

[alanfgag]

Sorry Justin... I have heard that before. I've used it as an avatar on other forums that allow animated GIFs... perhaps the wisdom of Fedora Lounge not to. 8^) It's inspired by my favorite moment in the film classic La Jetée... worth a watch on Netflix if you haven't seen it.

I'm not sure why some may find it disturbing. It doesn't creep me out in the least.
