I hope all you fellas had a wonderful Father's Day!

Today is another Falcon Park Hattery, a granite gem made by Parker. This was my first "new" hat years ago, so the brim is on the shorter side of my collection, just over 2 1/8".

SUPER shot, Spencer! (Although the lovely lass looks overwhelmed by the map...!)

Do you use the Polaroids? I have a few, including a type 47 (with the Rodenstock lens) somewhere. I used to think Polaroids were rectal problems for Eskimoes...

Those are both my fiance's. She has a whole collection of old Polaroid Land Cameras as well, but these are the ones that are in more regular rotation.
We're both pretty overwhelmed. 16,000+ miles and 6 months on the road in the bus, leaving Wednesday. It's a huge project , and between getting the bus ready and getting all the Vintage Haberdashers stuff and our apartments packed up, donated or put into storage, it's a ton to contend with. But another couple of days and we'll have the whole country to look forward to!

Hey Spencer! I just rebuilt an old Barclay body a month or so ago. Complete refurb from the felt up, but it's a great piece of felt. Can you tell me anything more about the brand, such as years of operation, etc? The thread on the Lounge here is a bit sparse, but I'd like to know more, if I could.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the likes and comments. Always appreciated.
Today, a freshly tweaked bunral project that I call "The Survivor" due to what I had to do to get all the glue and crud off of it from when it was a ladies' hat. And all the further abuse I put it through making it into this. It has a different weave pattern on the crown than my WWII era hat, and after seeing the crown of Alan's Balibuntal the other day, I have a sneaky suspicion that it could be of that variety of the straw.
