Very Pleased in the End, 20 April 2008
By: bfranklin3

"I saw the reviews about the lining issues, but bought this vest hoping they were resolved. Upon receiving it, I found the fit and quality to be excellent. It is so comfortable to wear and I love the material. After wearing it for a few days, the back lower hem began to curl up as others have seen. I decided to try using a clothes steamer to flatten it again - this permanently solved the issue and I haven't had any more problems. I can definitely say the issue was not due to poor tailoring and can now recommend the vest (but also recommend that Orvis watch for this since not everyone will have a clothes steamer)"

"I have found the fit & quality to be excellent. I brought a camel colored moleskin vest last year & liked it so much I got the loden color this year. I have not seen the lining problems mentioned in other reviews."

Disappointed, 17 October 2007
By: wsouth from Middletown. Delaware

"Vest is a great weight. I like the material. I looked around long and hard to find a nice casual vest like this.
Back lining is definitely too long or sewn incorrectly. When I received it, the lower back was curled up in the bag. My wife tried to iron and straighten it before I used it. I wore the vest once and the bottom of the back has rolled up again. I will return the vest."

Poor finishing, 19 September 2007
By: Tytop

"I had been waiting for this product to come back into stock since last April. When I received it, my initial impression was that I was in possession of an outstanding garment. The quality and weight of the cloth was excellent but the product was left down by poor tailoring. There seemed to be excessive lining sewn into the garment at the rear, and this overhung the waistcoat and showed at the bottom. Possibly a one off, I don't know as I did not reorder."
