"My first purchase over the net from Orvis and very pleased with the product and order fulfilment.
A slight disappointment in the actual colour from that depicted on the internet catalogue - a brownish "peat" turns out to be more a grey in reality.
All else feels and looks perfect."

"This is a good over all Harrington style jacket. Good lining and pockets and nice quality pig skin. The cut is rather long, it hangs well below the openings to rear trouser or jeans pockets, even though I'm 6`, to compensate I had to buy size medium although large would be generally better. A tighter gripping waist welt would help. However, for the money this is a good buy."

"Very comfortable in nicely crafted suede. I particularly like the collar as it gives it an updated look. The jacket is well made and sized accurately. The lining is a particularly nice touch. My only concern are the oddly positioned pockets, but since I don't walk around with my hands in my pockets its no big deal. I bought the jacket on sale which made it real bargin."

"i bought this jacket for my husband for christmas. it is so soft, so luxurious, you can't beat it for the money. he has a long torso and long arms, but isn't tall enough for "tall men's" sizes--this jacket is plenty generous, fits him like a dream. he looks like a doll in it. i'm so glad that we found this jacket--have been looking for a stylish one for a long time. love the stand-up collar and knit ribbing. guess we love everything about it!"

"this is a nice looking jacket but there is one big problem. The band around the bottom is not tight enough. It shoud fit tight around your waist allowing the jacket to blouse above the band. It's too big and loose causing the jacket to hang straight down over your butt. Make that tighter and you have a good product. If not I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they like a jacket that hangs down below your waist."

"I've been a customer of Orvis for a good many years. I purchased this jacket as an identical replacement of one that is at lease 7 years old.
To my suprise I discovered they had removed the scalloped cape off the back. This was a noticeable change and not one I was expecting. That was one
of the features I really liked. I kept the jacket because I am a size different now, not that I liked it so much. There must have been a good reason to change the design. The quality remains excelent.

"I gave this to my teenage son for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it! (He's a classic khaki kind of kid.) It's the perfect weight for our relatively mild Texas winters - 30's to 60's on any given day.
It looks great on him, and so far the jacket has suffered teendom pretty well - elbows on restaurant tables, getting accidentally splashed with water by younger brother, etc. - and doesn't look any the worse for wear.
I bought it to be a little big so he could wear it for a few years, but if he outgrows it, I'll be back for another one just like it!"

"Like the coffee color. The jacket fits true to size. only negative is the button & flap combination on the outside pockets. Wish it was an open slit. Otherwise, I like the fit."

"I bought this for my grandfather who wanted to replace his vintage 70's silk nap suede jacket by Grais.
This is almost identical except the Orvis version is slightly heavier in weight and does not have a full silk-like interior...only the sleeves. He really prefers the full silk interior as it keeps his shirt from getting bunched up.
Otherwise, seems like a quality made jacket. Thanks Orvis!

"I purchased this jacket for my son-in-law and he wanted to wear it that day, which happened to be a 70 degree day. We explained to him how he would have to wait for the weather to get cooler before he could wear it. It is beautiful to look at and to the touch.
Thanks Orvis!
A grateful mother-in-law."

"I have been looking for a suede jacket of famous Baracuta style. But it could not be found at stores in Tokyo area. So I did net-surfing and reached your site where what I wanted was available. Thanks to your online shopping, I could get one. I am really satisfied with its color, shape and quality. I hope that you keep this traditional item available in the future. Thank you. "
