Jones was also known for his tall silk hats, always worn at an unusual angle. After standing down from his trade union posts in 1865, he became a foreman at R. W. Wilson, but he remained a union member and received a pension from them from 1892. He retired to Ledbury, where he lived to the age of ninety-four. (en)
