Harold & The Princess
Our Quixotic weekend began with freshly fallen snow Friday morning. Even after our long Winter I still found its ephemeral beauty enchanting.
There could be but one choice for this snowy Friday, my go-to snow hat for the season: Thick and comforting 1930s...
Which Stetson, my friend? lol
Kidding aside, I know the 'Standard Quality' is the belle of the ball and certain to be eye-catching, but I am quite fond of the old Spiral Stitch myself. It has a certain insouciant flair that is hard to define but is very tangible and appealing to me.
Thank...
Thanks, Che, the ancient 'Standard Quality' is one of my finest and most prized hats without doubt.
We are members of NFLCC and Ryan is very, VERY serious about his collecting. I grew up fishing the Catalina Channel and beyond for Swordfish, Striped Marlin, Yellowtail, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna...
Thanks much, Jeff, really appreciate the nod!
Excellent choice of hats, as always. Would have loved to hear some fine cello playing, as you must have. At least we heard Tony Ross play yesterday with Nobuko Imai. It has been devastating not to have the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul...
Thanks, Justin. The old 'Standard Quality' Stetsons are marvelous and benchmark hats for the era. There are numerous photos of it scattered throughout this thread and FEDORAS AFIELD, but I have yet to post detail shots in the Pre-1940s Stetson Dress Hats thread. Will do so when I have some...
Thanks again for your kind words, Mark. We are still debating various options for sharing the film. The kids' first effort from last Summer was only circulated amongst their friends and families but both films will likely eventually be more widely distributed, with possible submission to a few...
A busy schedule of school activities prevented us from working on the film this weekend, but we made do with other adventures. Sunday morning. '20s-'30s Stetson 'Standard Quality'.
A cold rain mixed with snow fell steadily all day and night.
Helping to celebrate a belated 70th...
April (Snow)Showers
Spoiled by the mild Winters of the past few years, the snow, sleet and cold rain of the past weekend was a return to a more typical early Spring for us here in Minnesota.
While Ryan sat for his ACT along with his friends, Lydia and I spent a leisurely Saturday...
Hauntingly beautiful images from April's unwelcome visitor, Jeff. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery from the storm and its aftermath.
Thank you as always for your enthusiastic and kind comments. :yo: Lydia and I only wish we had done something as compelling with our friends at...
Thanks for the kind words, Gentlemen!
MarkJohn: This is an extracurricular project for the kids, busy high achievers who are investing what precious little free time they have in each other and in making the film. It is a joy for Lydia and I to help them realize their goal...
Getting ready to film the dungeon scene. Albert, packing heat and sporting my '40s Warner & Warner Beaver Twenty.
OPTIMO, Undyed Beaver Belly.
Jacob's first appearance in the film as well, wearing a '40s Desmonds Southern California DB jacket and '40s Stetson Bluegrass Whippet before the...
We filmed at the bar until the restaurant opened for business, then enjoyed a well-deserved lunch 'on the set'. Location scouting a 19th Century home on the National Register Of Historic Places in the afternoon.
On the magnificent veranda. In my favorite vintage lid once again.
In my...
