Wow, cool tribute. Thanks for sharing. Those vests are real nice. Had one years ago, regretfully sold it. Now you need a small mortgage to buy one. Wish they would come out with them again. They would sell like hot cakes. Love that picture of the bird his son harvested with his dads vest. The Old School battle worn 870. Nice memories for the family. Be safe....

I have always wondered where some of the top numbered vest went. Thank you for sharing.

I believe this is a limbhanger, not a Dixon. Very similar but not the same.

I sold my Dixon years ago, I regretted it. I did find a Mint condition Limbhanger vest, I is almost identical. You will come across one if you keep looking.  It is a fine vest..

I remember looking at a rack of Dixon vests and thinking, "$150 for a vest?!"

I'm glad I did.  The vest and I have shared a lot of dirt through the years, and even managed to get a turkey or two in the process.

I really enjoyed that article. I dont recall hearing about the vest when it came out. Mossy Oak sure did it right for one of their own.  I sure hope the boy finds the vest # hes looking for.
