Viscount - FIRST CHOICE FOR THE MAN ON THE WAY UP!

A Stetson Viscount has found a new home at my abode. Tim, Can Rod Maker, allowed me to adopt this special hat. Tim's original thread show casing this hat here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?55866-50-s-Stetson-Royal-Deluxe-quot-Viscount-quot-Photos&daysprune=-1#post1224147 .

"FIRST CHOICE FOR THE MAN ON THE WAY UP!" (1956 Ad copy) The hat is stunning. The felt, color, ribbon work, condition is absolutely first rate.

I took the pics early this morning after walking the dogs. The 2 dogs and I were tired and the pics show the fatigue in my face. Truly I just wanted to say thanks to Tim and share this really special hat that I am wearing. I will post up a more detailed review and some quality pics later this coming weekend.

Best wishes. Thanks for allowing me to proudly share the Viscount.

Thanks Josh. The carmel color is truy stunning in person. It really pops out at you. IMO, the world needs more carmel colored felted hats...certainly after this experience.

I don't know if I like the color, so I'll wear it today and see how it works.

super sweet hats today, everyone. RLK, SBG, and Herzen: all fantastic.

I've been getting rather comfortable with the Belamey homburg lately (sorry, David). Wore it to work this morning, and found my new homburg on the doorstep when I got home for lunch. It's definitely homburg day around here (sorry again, David)

Herzen; I would have to flip a switch as to whether the beared fellow or the clean shaven fellow has the best lid in your pic. Clean shaven fellow wears his with "style" tugged to the side.

Best, Eric -

The clean shaven fellow certainly gets a lot more comments!

Great pic there Bowlerman, you've got a real Les Claypool vibe goin' on there.

 

[bowlerman]

you may be my new best friend. Les is amazing (not to mention a bowler-wearer as well)!
