Still Life, a brand that specilizes in hats and other accesories, will be coming out with their fall/winter 2006 collection starting September 2006. Here is some information from the company about their upcoming release.
The fall/winter 2006 hat collection was inspired by the retro Kingston ska and mod aesthetics of the 60s and 70s taken to the 21st century with ultra slick pared-down design New York style. All hats are handcrafted in New York City in small quantities quenching the thirst of those in search of the piece that puts a finish of that special outfit, turning heads on the street and opening a conversation at the party. Still Life hats are so versatile that could be worn by men and women with a slick suite or just your old comfy jeans and favorite pair of kicks.

JB Classics will be releasing a new Getlo and has a sneak peek of them on their website. The new JB Classics Getlo is inspired by Canadian Haida artwork.
The HAIDA fashioned for themselves a world of costumes, adornments, and tools, with spiritual dimensions appropriate to each.
The decorations on the objects they created were statements of social identity, or reminders of rights and power granted on their ancestors by supernatural beings, or of lessons taught to them through mythic encounters with the animals, birds, and fish that were embodied in the crests passed down through generations.
Details: JB GETLO HAIDA : Royal Purple patent leather toe/heel panel, HAIDA art graphic pattern side panels, Citron yellow leather,contrast stitch detail,babyass blue leather tongue and sole bottom detail, Royal purple laces & silver lace locks.
