The Return of Duxbak....
 
2 Attachment(s)
There's been some chatter about my article on the return of the old Duxbak brand to the market this fall. I wanted to share the first pictures I've seen come out of a piece of the new gear. It's all due for release in the next few weeks. I'll keep everybody posted as more information comes my way. The camo is their take on the old Ducks Unlimited Maynard Reese pattern. There will also be the classic brown and green as well. Coats, hats, vests, etc.

Nice shoes Destry.:) Good to see Duxbak back. Are these items made in the US? There used to be a Duxbak outlet on the eastern shore of Md. many years ago and it was a regular stop back in the day.

Destry L. Hoffard 08-30-2017 07:40 PM

Not my photo, not my woman.

Yes, all USA made. Clothing in Tennessee and hats in Michigan.

Exciting things happening, big news today. Follow them on Facebook.

Give those of us who don't fatten the wallets of the Wunderkind media moguls on social media a hint, Destry - nothing like seeing the old Maynard Reese pattern brought back!

As soon as they've got their website updated and start actually selling products I'll post links for sure.

I'll keep everybody posted as I find things out.

I went to college in Utica NY and the manufacturing site was still in operation. They had a store there and I bought a couple of their Jones style reversible hats. This was in 1984 and I still have them. I don't wear them much anymore but they were well made and highly functional.

Destry L. Hoffard 10-04-2017 04:07 PM

A reversible Jones Cap? Now that I'd like to see! Does the crown flip over to Blaze Orange from Tan?

Ted Hicks 10-04-2017 04:24 PM

Destry - yes the crown flips over, in this case, from camo to blaze orange. I'll post pics when I can.

Here's a couple photos of a Duxback reversible camo/orange hat.

Hallelujah! Thanks for the update Destry. Very happy to know they will make these great old vests again. I've been trying to buy one for years thru the vintage clothing websites but that's been a very frustrating experience and I've returned every one due to fit and condition. Garth

Very cool vest! Love the exterior shell loops on the front; not sure about those on the back though. I have my Dad's old vest with exterior shell loops on the front; sadly it hasn't fit me in years. If I didn't have a brand new old stock Filson hanging it the closet I'd be all over one of those. Heck, I might be anyway.

I still have my old Duxback green jones style hat from the 60s and they are hard to beat,no telling how much game I bagged wearing it and plan to wear it some this season. Bobby

Destry L. Hoffard 10-06-2017 05:08 PM

Keep in mind this stuff won't be old school Duxback prices. I think the vest are in the $200 range.

The reason for the loops on the back is balance as much as anything. You put a few shells back there and it won't ride up on your neck from the weight of the ones in the front.

Mack's Prairie Wings is beginning to show a few items on their website but you can't order them yet.

They're coming!

Items are hitting the shelves at Macks Prairie Wings.

Glad to see the return of some truly classic gear. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the line (but that reversible Jones cap is definitely going to be on my Christmas list).
