Sounds nice..Like that Natural color. Brim & ribbon width?

Hi

Sorry about that, 4 inch brim, 1.5 inch ribbon width. This is the Non-Traditional Campaign Hat I was discussing on another thread.

The color matches Olive Drab (scout pants, and 1943 US Jacket), Tan (scout shirt color, and Safari jacket color), and what Cabelas calls British Tan (two long sleeve and two short sleeve shirts). Sahara also matched those colors, but it seemed a little on the light side for Winter. Rust and Whiskey also match the above colors, but I was concerned that the Rust would look orange in bright sunlight. Whiskey looked too much like the regular Campaign hat color. Apparently, I'm a creature of habit...

If I counted right, February 10 at the earliest, March 10 at the latest.

Sounds like a very nice hat! Please post pics of it when you get it and let us know what you think of it.

Here is my son with a Jaxon crushable wool. I bought it for him for Christmas. It's his first fedora and he says the kids at school think its cool.

I am not sure if this is the same company we are talking about on this thread, though.

It's not. Jaxonbilt is a custom western hatter. Jaxon is a factory brand. But good for your son (I wish the people at my school thought my hats were cool )!

 

[Mobile Vulgus]

Yeah, I didn't think they were the same. I was search "Jaxon" on the Lounge and this was the only thread I found. You know, the search function really, really sucks on vBulletin software. I can NEVER find what I want using it. Anyway, the boy likes the hat. That's what counts.

Looking forward to seeing one of Roys hats posted. I have looked around and couldn't find any pictures on the lounge.

Hi

Boeing got the Tanker Contract (big SURPRISE by the way), so I can actually call Roy and buy the hat. No hat otherwise...

Later y'all

Hi, anyone have a photos of a hat that they received, yet?

 

[1961MJS]

Hi

I called Roy today, to give him a new card number (expired) and he said it was supposed to go out this week. Pictures when I get a chance.

Hi

I received the Non-Traditional Campaign hat today. Custom hats are the way to go, it fits perfectly. I'll work on pictures tomorrow afternoon after the gun show.

Looking forward to the photos. Can you tell us what you think of the finishing quality (hatband, etc.), Thanks

 

[1961MJS]

Hi

The felt is smooth, the hat is stiff, since it's a Western hat as opposed to a Fedora. The sweat is the best of any of the hats I own (Beaver Brand and Stetson). The fit is PERFECT. The hatband is really good looking too.

Yer killin' me! lol
We need pics!

Glad to hear that you seem satisfied with your purchase.

Hi

Here we go on the pix of my Non-Traditional Campaign Hat:

Front:

Left:

Right Rear:

Inside:

The hat first great, and it's better felt than either my Stetson, or the Beaver Brand I own. I'd buy from Roy Jackson again any day. This is 4 inch brim, field brown ribbon, 5.75 inch crown, with a Montana Peak. The Felt is 50% beaver and is undyed Natural.

I'll work on a shot of me wearing it, I take bad enough pictures anyway without doing it in the bathroom mirror.

It looks great! I think you may the first Lounger to ever post of a new custom Jaxonbilt with pics.
Congratulations! :eusa_cla

Looks very nice!! Good attention to detail. How stiff is the felt? Does it feel soft but firm or just very stiff?

Hi, I'm not sure quite how to describe it. It's much stiffer than my Stetson Temple, which is just plain soft. It is a little softer than the Beaver Brand I own, but not a LOT softer. Feels great on my head. The brim is much stiffer than the crown.
