Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 About ten years ago when I started shooting cowboy I ordered a custom hat from Jaxonbilt Hats in Salmon, ID. Not knowing anything about hats or playing cowboy in general I requested a style that it turned out didn't really suit me. To his credit Roy sent me just what I asked for, I just didn't ask for the right thing. I wore it for a few years and as I gathered more gear over time (including hats) it sat. I was looking at it a few weeks ago and contemplating what to do with it, if anything. I went to his website and while looking I discovered that I could have it resized (my head got fatter, not because of the quality of my shootin') and reshaped to something that better suited my grizzled visage, an option I had never considered. I called him, shipped it and got it back in a week. It's been cleaned, it has a new liner and a new sweatband, the fit is perfect and it looks dang handsome (the wife agrees). When I didn't find a bill in the box I called today and he said, "It's my hat. I don't charge for those services on a hat I made." Money well spent, I'd say, on a custom hat from Jaxonbilt.

I'd rather email pics to twenty-thousand members than have to remember one more password. It's a good lookin' hat, thank The Lord. I can use all the help I can get.
J-BAR #18287 Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Lovely! There are few things more classy looking than a good pencil roll brim!!
Flinch Lock Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I seen him over there taking pics of his gun cart, didn't know why he was doing that but I do now...
Grizzly Dave Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 bump to the top to make sure all those who wanted to see pics see them.
Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks to Allie Mo for the request and to Grizzly Dave for volunteering to post the pics. By the way that good lookin' hat didn't help me shoot any better yesterday. Where does a fella get a hat like that?
