Jaxonbilt Hats
Here's a photo of the Jaxonbilt, expertly modeled by your humble scribe. Oddly, I look exactly like Virgil Cole. And I agree Johnny, RBP left us too soon, but luckily for us he was very prolific while he was here. -
The Perfect Safari Hat - Part II
I agree, and not by me either. The photo is missing from my Photobucket account too. Odd, since the photo is available on several places around the 'net, so I didn't think it would be a copyright issue. -
Jaxonbilt Hats
Here's my third hat from Roy, also a Cavalry style in 100X. I wanted one in black after seeing the western Appaloosa, with Ed Harris as Virgil Cole, based on my favorite author's book by the same title. -
NYT piece: Hat-wearing minority gets no respect!
Astute article. I say fedora wearers should embrace the dark side, after all look what happened with Harley Davidson. Any publicity is good publicity. Marketing baby, marketing! -
The Perfect Safari Hat - Part II
"I had a farm in Africa...." I'm a big fan of the hat as well. I really like how your hat turned out Mike. I'm curious, why didn't you go for a full custom job from the start? Was it for the divine madness of a hat project? -

Jaxonbilt Hats
The 50X feels only slightly more stiff than the 100X, hardly noticeable unless you're holding both in your hand and looking for it. The 100X felt feels more lush. Not sure if that's the right word. -
Jaxonbilt Hats
Aside from the color, no, I don't notice a difference in fit or feel. Not better, just different in color. -
Jaxonbilt Hats
Here is another photo of the underside of both hats. Note the dark brown sweatband in the 50X: And another closer look at the 50X: This is after 5-6 years of wear, including a two week survival course in the Utah desert with rain, brutal heat during the day, freezing temps at night, etc... -
Jaxonbilt Hats
You asked for it, here it is gents! Here's a photo of my two Jaxonbilt Cavalry hats in Buckskin. The one on the right is 50X with holes for a windstring, the second is a 100X: -
Jaxonbilt Hats
Congratulations on your purchase!! Always happy to see a quality craftsman get the recognition they deserve. Love the undyed Natural color. I have three of Roy's hats, two in Buckskin, but I really like the color you went with. Hmnnn, maybe an excuse for a new hat? -

Khakis/chinos To crease or not to crease
I'd say no to the crease. To my mind the chino is a casual trouser, and putting a crease in them is akin to putting a crease in jeans. Unnngh.- vintage68

Deadwood's Seth Bullock Western/Imperial style tash/beard....could I pull it off ?
I say go for it. It's only hair after all and will grow back if you don't like it. Just be sure to keep the 'stache wide at the corners of the mouth so you get that "gunfighter" look.- vintage68

Fading an old Korean War Fishtail Parka
I recently acquired a mint condition Korean War fishtail parka. Trouble is the cotton outer shell is still a deep green color, it looks too new!! I was wondering if anyone knows how I can fade the outer shell other than washing the shell a bazillion times. FYI: I'm going for the Book of Eli...- vintage68

Jaxonbilt Hats
In my opinion Jaxonbilt's conformer kit really makes it worth paying the extra coin to go custom. First of all I'm afflicted with a 7 /78 Long Oval head to begin with (comes complete with its own weather system), and all the little bumps and whatnot really made getting a proper fit next to... -
Jaxonbilt Hats
All of Roy's hats are available in any colour you want, with matching or contrasting ribbons, and you can customize the styling as well. Jaxonbilt is a full custom shop. -
Jaxonbilt Hats
The Cattleman is a nice choice, but you might want to look at the Cavalry hat as well. Nothing wrong with the Cattleman of course, but it's a pretty generic style that you'll see walking into any western store. I have the Cavalry in Buckskin with matching ribbon, and it has just a little more...
