The founder and CEO of Rockmount Ranch Wear died Wednesday at 107. Weil helped to popularize the Western shirt – and under his direction, Rockmount's international clientèle came to include politicians, pop stars - even regular cowboys. In an interview last year with the Denver Post, Weil spoke about his early days in Colorado, and his company.
