BILLY BOB THORNTON SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Yes, it's true--Billy Bob Thornton does indeed have a line of signature clothing.  There are two names behind this collection:

• CadZoots, run by retro fashion wünderkind (and tenor sax player) Dave "Cad" Kadison, offers three styles of Billy Bob's signature shirts in (we kid you not) 45 different colors (including such shades as Purple Snake, Red Gator, Brown Spiderweb, Cream Flower, and Pink 'n' Black Plaid) with four different types of snaps and in five manly man sizes (which women can wear, too).   A Billy Bob Thornton signature label is sewn into each garment.  We also love the CadZoots site, because it has Harlem Nocturne playing in the background while you surf (could that be Dave honking lead?).  If you want to order the shirts custom-made on-line, you can do it through CadZoots.  The shirt Billy Bob is modeling with the drink and princess phone is, in fact, CadZoots' Hawaiian line.  Billy Bob also models some of the Western line clothing on the CadZoots site.
  

• Billy Martin's western wear is the exclusive retail distributor of the Billy Bob Thornton Signature Collection.   If you want to be able to walk into a store to browse Billy Bob's shirts, this is the only place on earth where you can do it (other than Billy Bob's closet).  We've spoken to the Billy Martin posse in West Hollywood, and they are as nice as nice can be.  This is a boutique that will truly treat you right.  No wonder it's Billy Bob's favorite store in the whole wide world!  Here's Billy Bob's review of Billy Martin's store.  Shop there, and you'll be two-stepping down the catwalk in no time.

Here are the three styles of Billy Bob's signature shirts.

Here are some of the 45 cool fabrics!  Cream Flower is our favorite!

BOHLIN BELT BUCKLES

Notch up another fashion first for Billy Bob fans.  If you've got a hankering for a commemorative belt buckle, Edward H. Bohlin, Inc. created a series of limited edition (and we do mean limited) ALL THE PRETTY HORSES handcrafted belt buckles ("worn by the principal characters").  Their toll-free number is (877) 426-4546, and their website can be roped in at www.bohlinmade.com.  Bohlin's line of movie-related buckles is not yet live on their site, so you might want to contact them to see if they have any left.

BILLY BOB CONCERT SWAG
We're working on this one.   Keep those Bic Lighters handy, 'kay?

PLANET BILLY BOB T-SHIRTS
Alas, the first version of the shirt--totally and utterly not authorized by Billy Bob and basically designed by non-designer Amélie-- is completely out of print.  Some veteran Planeteers can be bribed out of theirs.
