I missed this earlier, but thanks Chamuco! Hat color is a light Pecan but it wants to photograph as more of a gray.

My weekend project, a Barclay I got off eBay a couple months ago, that was pretty much trashed. I cleaned it up and rebuilt it from the ground up. Re-blocked from 7 1/8 to 7 1/4, new sweatband (thanks for the help, Cane Rod Maker Tim!), new liner (thanks, Bond!). Removed, cleaned, and recycled the ribbon/bow. I took copious pictures, and if I get a chance to write it up, I'll start that Workshop thread I've been threatening lately. Outdoor photos are the best representation of the color. Apparently, Barclay is a French brand?

Spring is here. Early morning chores in the 45'F temps finds me in a wool jacket and a vtg. Stetson Whippet. I will need to clean up and run some errands shortly.

Good Spring morning to all, Eric -

Been a little too busy these days. Got a lot of great posts/hats to catch up on.

Stetson Tulsa OR again today.

Yesterday, as some of you know, I had the pleasure of attending quite a large gathering of classic cars. There's a couple of photos from the show two pages back .
Today, having been catching up on reading some of the threads, I've had a bit of a guilt trip.
Whilst I was enjoy yesteryear's automobiles, Nathan had his work cut out trying to restore a good many folks, regular forum fix. Thank you for giving up your Sunday Nathan, even though I was unaware that The Lounge was down, (one day I might learn how to go on line with my smart phone.) It's good to see the members all back, cheery as ever.
So, here's another photo from yesterday, I hope you like the truck Tommy:

Today, no Aloha shirt, all scrubbed up instead.

Off to do grown-up things under a blueish grey Stetson Imperial homburg. Nifty brim treatment on this one.

Have a great Monday, everyone.

Charlie, is that one of those Maclachlan's with the fancy vented sweatband?

Somehow I slipped on this one, Tommy. It did have that fancy corrugated vent sweatband and embossed (debossed?) vents. Sadly, though, those features were eliminated during a sweatband replacement.

Dismal, grey, Monday morning. Kill'in time at the Park 'n Ride under the Stetsonian. My hair is not even dry. You may be able to tell how thrilled I am.

I like my CD's plenty, but I like this and the Premo Whippet more. I like their style. The tack stitches on this one are actually well done.

Nice work, Jim! Looks great.

You wear those Homburgs very well. One of my two vintage hats is a black, back-bow Stetson Homburg. I have not yet had an occasion to wear it. It's very formal looking.

Thanks Jim. If memory serves me correctly, Alan has one that is its twin.

Great job on your clean-up of that Barclay. It looks fantastic.

Enjoy.

I hope that you find the chance to wear yours. I suspect that you will be able to pull it off quite well.
Take it easy.

My old Stetson. Still debating flattening the brim.

Thanks Esther, Harv, and Matt! When you see some close-ups, you'll see I need some work on being an adequate seamstress, though.

Foamy, I've come to appreciate the Homburg as a semi-informal lid. Matt leads the way, as he's not afraid to wear one with a casual outfit or even a tie-dye. I think most of us can get away with one, we just have to have enough of a DGAF attitude to do it.

You strike me as that kind of guy!
