I bought mine in college on ebay for a 250 back in 2010 or so.  I hunted it for a couple years but moved to the old Cabela's tactical tatr which I liked much better. 

Not going to lie the Dixon layout and fit is top notch but dang they are heavy and hot.

Today I hunt with a innertube sewed in a pouch with a strap to throw over my shoulder and then a FNF chest pouch with all my calls/binos.  I can cover ground better then ever and there's not a better seat on the market then a innertube seat in my opinion.

We will see what i do with this dixon collecting dust one day.
I'll give you $350 right now

I would like to know what one with the calls in it would cost today I bet not many still left intact with calls.


I paid $75 for mine, (no calls). The one with the calls I believe was $125. I think one of the call was a Green Glass Cody. They only offered 100 Dixon vests with the calls I believe....

Did a little research on the Dixon Vest. The first 100 came with these calls. Notice it included the Green Glass Cody. These are very sought after....hard to come by....

The vest with calls were sold on ebay. I never saw one sell less than $450.00. Only the first 100 vest came with calls.
They call him...Kenny..Kenny

You have to hand it to Toxey Haas. He developed this vest for a friend that passed away, most of the proceeds went to charity, cancer research. Kudos to the companies that donated the calls for the first hundred vests. I guess he wants to leave this legacy for Mr. Dixon's memory, he sure could make a fortune bringing these vests back. They were extremely well laid out and wore like iron. I would love to see them come back, even if to raise more money for charity.
