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 -

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.

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

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.

Thanks Foamy.
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.

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!
