It's been on soft release in a few stores the past month.

I like the looks of the floating gun case, I bought one and will report.

Duxback. I always wondered what became of them. When I was a kid I had an old Jones style cap I wore hunting everywhere that was made by Duxback. It was camo but also had a flap on top where you pull forward and it would show hunter orange.

I need to go back to the house and see if that has been thrown out. When was last time you saw someone wearing a Jones style cap.

All of the waxed canvas products are made here in the USA. I do believe some of the rubberized bags and stuff are made overseas.

Called Mack’s yesterday asking about the Jones style cap but it doesn’t sound like it has made it into production yet. The hat with the brim is sold out with no date back order date. Glad to see it has been an apparent success. Grew up wearing Duxbak and miss their products.

Filson makes some good stuff as well. I have a Packer that have been using for 20 years and it looks like the day I got it all those years ago. Sadly they don't even make it like mine now anymore. The interior headband on mine is made of leather and it fits and molds to your head perfectly. After about 2 or 3 minutes I forget am wearing a hat it is so comfortable. Sadly the new ones use a cotton headband and I don't think are as good.

Luckily I don't need another waxed brim hat, but if I did would sure like the Duxbuck one, that looks pretty cool. Hope I can find my old Jones style cap again.

They had trouble getting the Jones Caps to come out right. They're tough to pattern, my friend who made my new ones had a bear of a time getting them perfected. I've actually given the owner of Duxbak his name so maybe they'll get them straightened out soon.

More products to come, it's just been slow going with their production. They actually had to break down and actually buy a complete factory to finally get it all done.

Interesting. Did this new Duxbak company just buy the name and not all the product designs. Which does happen and then they have to redesign things. Maybe I need to find my old one and let them take it apart. Probably not though, I am sure they will figure it out and maybe make it better.

The old company really didn't exist anymore, the original operation in Utica NY was long gone. The name had changed hands a couple times, ending up with Walls Workwear who hadn't produced any of the clothing in years or maybe ever. There really wasn't anything left to acquire except the name itself and to start from scratch. They're hard at work adding items to the product line and trying to get retailers. It all just takes time.

I received my floating gun case yesterday very nice quality---it will make it's first trip to the duck marsh tomorrow.

Bruce Day 11-27-2017 03:47 PM

Not that I need anything but I support things that are US made, as I understand the DuxBak line is .
