  • Jack Arnold Weil was the founder and CEO of the Denver-based Western clothing manufacturer Rockmount Ranch Wear and was believed to be the oldest working CEO in the United States. Weil was born in Evansville, Indiana in 1901. In 1926, Weil (also known as Papa or "Papa Jack") married Beatrice Baum, and two years later the couple moved to Denver, Colorado, with their newborn son, Jack B. Seven years later, their daughter, Jane, was born, and in 1946, Weil rented a space at 1626 Wazee Street in Denver and set about trying to create a fashionable yet practical identity for the western ranchers of the region. Rockmount's fashions were featured prominently in the 2005 Academy Award-winning film Brokeback Mountain. Weil was well-known for coining the phrase "The West is not a place, it is a state of mind. " He was the first person to put snaps on Western shirts, patented the saw-tooth pocket design seen on many Western shirts, and was credited with inventing the bolo tie. Weil's wife died in 1990, followed by his son Jack B. in 2008. He claimed to have quit smoking at age 60, drinking at age 90 and eating red meat at 100. However, Weil said he had a shot of Jack Daniel's twice a week for "medicinal purposes," specifically, to keep his blood thin. Weil died at home on August 13 2008.
  • Jack Weil war Gründer und CEO der Firma Rockmount Ranch Wear und wurde vor allem als Modeschöpfer für Cowboymode bekannt. Jack Weil war der Erste, der die Cowboykrawatte, auch Bolo Tie genannt, kommerziell produzierte. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Band, das unter dem Kragen mit einer Art Metallbrosche zusammengehalten wird. Weil gilt auch als Erfinder des Cowboy-Hemds mit 17 Druckknöpfen. Er war bei seinem Tod vermutlich der älteste CEO der USA.
  • Jack A. Weil oli yhdysvaltalainen liikemies. Hän perusti vuonna 1946 denveriläisen lännentyylisiin vaatteisiin erikoistuneen Rockmount Ranch Wearin. Weil oli maassaan kaupallisten "western-vaatteiden" pioneeri. Hänen vaatteitaan ovat osaltaan tehneet tunnetuiksi lukuisat niitä käyttäneet julkisuuden henkilöt alkaen Elvis Presleystä ja Clark Gablesta. Rockmountin vaatteita nähtiin myös elokuvassa Brokeback Mountain. Lisäjulkisuutta Weil sai saavuttamansa hyvin korkean iän ja siitä huolimatta yhä osoittamansa aktiivisuuden ansiosta.
