Still Life ?

Still Life ?

Nature morte, as the French would say.

Nice!

Stevens OR clone.

 

[bowlerman]

These are great!

Here's the new face of Megahat, which I love to pair with my old upright and oboe lamp...

 

[hatophile]

That lamp is great, don't think I've ever seen one like that Jeff!

Air Dry!

Drummin with Dobbs!

 

[bowlerman]

Awesome, howardeye!

Your hats on a hog reminded me of a pic I took on a road trip with my family last summer. I think this is along the I-70 in eastern Utah.

Perry- my dad had that lamp made for me with an old unplayable oboe he obtained from my old high school!

 

[randooch]

That has to one of THE coolest pictures here.

Howard, your hog makes quite a drying rack!

Perry, shouldn't that be a pitchfork?

Man, this one should win a prize, or something. It should be sold as a poster that we hang on our walls!

 

[howardeye]

That is some hat tree!!!!

 

[Blackthorn]

That is some hat tree!!!!

Yeah...if someone will let me know where that is, I'd like to go pick a few!

You fellas are way too kind! Thanks, but nature and natural sunlight did all the work there! I've driven across the US many times, and I always seem to pull over at that very rest stop to see that unbelievable landscape.

Here's another fun one, with my Clearwater Hats derby:

I have been moving the farrago from my dressing room to the office. I desire to better organize things and to remove detritus from surfaces. Removal of most objects and then cleaning is my modus operandi. Not arranged in any order on my desk, but below is a pic of some Stetson Stratoliners and VS Stratoliners waiting for brushing and appropriate storage.

These hats, vintage and custom have lots of life still left in them.

Eric -

all hail the stratoliner king! beautiful, Eric.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

all hail the stratoliner king! beautiful, Eric.

Thanks Jeff. I think of myself as a serf in comparision to many of the venerable hat folks on this forum. (Not all the Strat and Start-like hats are gathered in this pic. Somday I will have to gather all of them for a group shot. Kind of like herding ducks I guess.)

That pic conveys the very expression that I've been trying to convey to my wife: you really need every possible color in the hat style you like the most.
