Wylye Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Good piece of kit. Its a shame Orvis no longer sell their clothing in the UK as it was always top quality and hard wearing. Bit pricey mind - but you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptC Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I've got the trousers (but they did not come with the jacket) Bought 20 plus years ago and still as good as new (ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylye Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Well I've had a look this week and the only stuff I can find in the UK is fishing gear. Everything still available in the States but shipping/customs is $55. Not feasible really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Agree ...the range is reduced for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 In clothing, Orvis has moved "younger" and more "modern", ignoring the fact that it's purchasers are "middle aged" and "traditional" and hence their clothing range in UK has been reduced as it no longer sells, also noting traditionally it was always premium priced but hard wearing and long lasting.
