Over The Channel Shearling Parka

In this re-creation of the famous coats worn on missions over the English Channel to Europe, we use American shearling for the greatest natural insulation available. True to the original, this shearling coat features a slightly distressed, soft antique finish, leather patch pockets made of soft kid leather, a detachable hood, warm stand-up collar, soft deep handwarmer-pockets; and toggle-style buttons that are easy to manage even with gloves on. Shearling coat available in brown. 100% shearling leather. Professionally leather clean. Coat sizes: M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).

"I bought this with great expectations. In short, pluses and minues are:
- Very warm
- hood is fabulous
-hook to tie unto button broke off in 2 weeks
-probably could use a zipper as well as buttons
-was hoping that Shearling would be "richer"
"
Response from Orvis:By Orvis Customer Service Team23 January 2009
Orvis Customer Service immediately contacted this customer and apologized for the malfunctioning hook. Orvis also thanked the customer for taking the time to provide this feedback and offered an exchange or a refund. Orvis will cheerfully exchange or refund a customer’s purchase at any time, for any reason; our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is the strongest in the business. Orvis also noted the customer’s suggestion about adding a zipper to this coat but points out that, as this is a re-creation of the famous coat worn on missions over the English Channel to Europe, modifications were kept to an absolute minimum.

"I'm 6'5 and have an above average length torso with long arms and the xxl fits perfectly! Great coat with very very high quality. Would definitely recommend for a man that has everything. I just wish the zippered hood was metal/brass or matching buttons as the front of the coat."

"I am very happy with this parka, the pockets are deep, it keeps the wind out. I can get away with just a sweater underneath. I have had many compliments."

"This is a very comfortable, warm and attractive coat, with a distressed look that suggests you've had it as an old friend for years. The quality is excellent throughout. When I wear it, I always hear positive comments."

"This is truly a one of a kind. The picture does not do the jacket justice. Do not miss purchasing this parka."
