Nice to see.:claps::claps:

Good to see. Hope it works out for the family. Doesn't his son have a physical ailment? If so, who is going to take care of the business end?

wheresmy50 03-28-2008 07:20 AM

I didn't know the family, but that's great that his son will be able to continue the trade.

Now - are you going to make a stubby?

they look great joe. you guys are doing a good thing, there. I can't image how pleased John is to see his son and friends carrieing on his legacy. I'm just glad I already have a meager :hihi: supply because that booth is gonna be a mad house on Friday morning. I'm just hoping to score a hat. Good luck with everything.

I used to tie my own bucktails, that is until I saw Jeffs.
End of story.
SWE carries them.

Great News!!! Congrats to all. And best of luck to all!!!

For those of us that can't get to the shows, where and when can I get hold of some (or one) of those beauties!

BigFish 03-28-2008 01:12 PM

You know....having met and talked with John Jr. and his Mom (Jessica) a few times, I can't help but think about what a fine young man I think he is! His Dad would be quite proud of him for sure!:)

BassDawg 03-28-2008 02:38 PM

WELL DONE!!!

Thanks to the Pt Jude bro's and tatoo for being more than a friend to John, Jess, and John Jr. It is this type of love that often goes unappreciated and unmentioned, and in yer collective humility you'd prolly rather nothing be said; however, it is WELL WORTH mentioning!

Huge Kudos to Jess for encouraging her son to do whatever he thought was right and allowing him the time to come to such a huge decision. Also, for your part in keeping HABS "in tha family" now and in the future.

John Jr, CONGRATULATIONS!! Excellent work and as i am sure you know ~your father would be very proud of you whether you chose to continue his legacy, or not. Thank you VERRRRY MUCH for stepping into yer father's shop and we eagerly anticipate more of the HAB'S Line, as YOU see fit.

This is yer baby now, and i can't wait to see anything new you would like to introduce, in due time, as you add your own ideas to the well established name, HAB'S, which is synonymous for BIG FEESH and a much, much Bigger Man :cool: :cool:.

luds 03-28-2008 03:21 PM

Nice! Looking forward to throwing some elbows make sure I get a couple.


Kidding aside, great job everyone involved and thank you.

tattoobob 03-28-2008 04:29 PM

Way to keep the tradition going Jr. Well done! :claps:

big jay 03-30-2008 08:48 AM

They look good too -- I saw one at the SWE the other day, and I couldn't tell the difference, except for the "jr" on the signature.

Way to keep it going -- Good luck.

Raider Ronnie 03-30-2008 08:56 AM

Nice to see the family tradition kept going!
One question as I don't know Jr.
He going to grow the mustache !

Mr. Sandman 03-30-2008 09:02 AM
