My new Jaxon!

[indycop]

I received my new Jaxon Bogart today! I did not have very high expectations since it only cost $68. Boy was I wrong! I ordered last Saturday night from Village hat shop and received a confirmation email that Sunday morning. When it arrived today it was in a nice hat box with fragile marked all over it! the hat was wrapped and had the foam protector for the ribbon!
Ok on to the hat! It has a thin but soft felt. I do not think I normally do shorter brims well, but I like this one. It is my favorite now as well as my wife's! I also have a Jaxon Monk on it's way!
with feather.

Excellent. I've been waiting to see this half the day, and it's been worth it. It does really suit you, so I can see why you and the mrs like it.

Very nice IC. Although I do like the wide brim better, this has a real classic look that does suit you well!
I think you did good!:eusa_clap

indycop, This could well become your signature hat. Great choice. Makes me want to buy a six pack! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

That does look good. I think you'll like the monk also. I picked up one last week at VHS and have to say I was impressed for the price. The hat gets attention for some reason. I received several compliments the first day. Soft, comfortable and a good deal.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I've been thinking a lot about Jaxon hats lately but havent seen many people comment on them here so far. They have several tempting hats, in my opinion but I like seeing what others think of them around here.

Indycop, Nice looking hat. For my money leave the feather off the hat. You may find, as I did, that a short brim hat does look a lot better on than you would have thought it would. Nice find.:eusa_clap

 

[Duck]

Great looking hat, Indycop!!! You wear that smaller brim well. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[deanglen]

That hat on you is a very arresting image, it looks terrific, and I think I see a lopsided grin in one of those shots!

Nice looking hat. I have a Jaxon Bogart that has been my primary daily "business hat" for the past couple of years. I have been very well pleased with the hat. I know you will get years of good service from yours.

 

[John in Covina]

Pretty darn sharp looking hat, well done!

It was your pic and comments in the what are you wearing today thread that sent me looking for one! I was not disappointed! Thanks, Bigman.:eusa_clap

Do you have any pics of you with the monk? Would be great to see!

 

[indycop]

Thanks for the nice comments fellas! I have to say that what you get for what you pay is outstanding!! I will definitely get more Jaxon's!
I think my fear with a shorter brim was, how it would look with my large head.
DG what that pun intended? "arrested"

Yes, forgive me.

[indycop]

Yes, forgive me.

I do have to say that while my peters brothers feel like its a part of me when I wear it, This hat makes me feel a little cocky, like I should be on a stakeout or something!

 

[deelovely]

Hmmm...

I'll go on a stakeout with you if you wear THAT hat!!! I love it! And the short brim does look good. Your head is not that large, it is in proportion with the rest of you, silly!

Hey Starius, I looked on here for some opinions on this hat but didnt see any, I found some nice comments on the brand. I'm far from being in experts on these types of hats but for the price, I'm really happy with it. My wool caps and repo ball caps can cost me 40-50 bucks.
IC now has me wanting the Bogart after my experience with the monk.
Like IC I was happy with the folks at VHS. Having a odd shaped head, I went to the store in Sacramento. They sold it to me for the internet sale price, let me pick out a different feather, cleaned it up and gave me a box. The sales gal was really nice and very informative. Flat out she said it was Rabbit. I asked her "how do they get Rabbit fur, do they shear the little guy?" and she went blank. She then brought over a wool felt monk so I could compare. There's a big difference between the two.
