"My wife calls this coat "The coat of many pockets" and insists that I where it for travel so that I can carry the passports, tickets, etc.
I have traveled all over the world with this coat which wears well in a wide variety of climates and enjoy it's comfort, durability and resistance to wrinkles. It works as well with a tie as it does with jeans and a tee shirt. It is ,in my opinion, a must have."

Good jacket spoiled by dye running.. Orvis advice?,
October 19, 2009

AdviceNeeded
"Good jacket spoiled by dye running, October 19, 2009
I am in full agreement with the comment made by Tropicopter on June 14, 2009.
"The jacket is indeed a good travel jacket with plenty of pockets for every occasion. Sadly, the first time [I wash it at home, gentle cold water,] all the colour dye in the 'leather' patches ran and the jacket's appearance has been pretty much ruined." Orvis should give clear advice if other precautions are needed or what to do to restaure the original color of the 'leather' patches."

The Perfect Travelling Jacket,
July 27, 2009
By:
Stravaiger
"I have had my Zambezi jacket (stone colour) for a few years now and It is my perfect travelling jacket for trips to mainland Europe. It is ideal for flying, coach and train journeys and is still the perfect jacket for going out in the evening.
I am saving up for a Bandera for winter gallivanting.
Don't hesitate: get one now!"

STILL GREAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
May 11, 2009
By:
ALinSTLfrom STL
"GOT MINE AS A GIFT A FEW YEARS AGO & IT HAS HELD UP ADMIRABLY. I CARRY A LOT: 2-3 DIGITAL CAMERAS, PHONE, PDA, POCKET SKETCH BOOK, "ACCESS" GUIDES WHEN OUT OF TOWN, KEYS, SWISS ARMY KNIFE, SUN GLASSES, SUN BLOCK, ENERGY BAR, PENS/PENCILS, & WHATEVER ELSE I NEED FOR THE DAY (I PROBABLY SHOULD ATTACH RETRACTABLE WHEELS ON IT). WHAT IT DOESN'T HOLD, MY 15+? YEAR OLD ORVIS CAMERA BAG DOES...BOTH ARE FINEST KIND!!!"

Verstatile, durable and stylish,
April 22, 2009
By:
SpazMend
"Simply great. It can look 'smarter' than in the picture and works well with chinos. Has drawn compliments from colleagues. It is tough enough to cram into a cycle bag, or wear on a long-haul fligtl and still look OK at arrival."

Use those pockets!,
February 23, 2009
By:
Mackinac
"I've got a couple of items from the Zambezi group and they are incomparable. The potential uses for the jacket are almost too numerous to mention. Don't forget the style. This jacket will set you apart as a person of "individual" style and class."

Old friend,
February 19, 2009
By:
RonHfrom North East England UK
"I have worn this jacket for several years and although it dosen't look smart it does feel comfortable and cosy. It is rather warm during the summer (even English summers!) but still comfortable. Although there are plenty of pockets, some are too small for note books and if you store items in the lower inner pockets it inhibits the volume available in the outer pockets which are back to back. Great material love the leather but the elbow patches are too low down the sleeve for me. A good friend"

Excellent Choice for Travel,
October 26, 2008
By:
wrbtufrom Long Island
"This jacket has so many pockets (of various sizes, some with zippers, some without) that it's like wearing a veritable suitcase on your back. This is a very handy feature to have when traveling; it keeps me from misplacing necessities. Amazingly, filling the inside pockets does not cause the jacket to look unseemly when worn unbuttoned. I like the casual look & the color of the khaki. It's sturdy & fits me well. On many jackets, the sleeves are too long for me, but not this one. My one complaint is that the material is too warm to wear in the hot & humid summers here. As a fall, spring, or winter jacket, it's fine. Maybe Orvis will make a lighter version for hot summer wear."

Super Jacket,
July 19, 2008
By:
Fletchfrom From the UK. Like to travel in Africa a lot
"Really like this jacket, which I find perfect when traveling. It looks smart, yet rugged. Feels about the right weight and compliments my Zambezi trousers. Had plenty of compliments on its looks and once a request as to where I purchased it. As ever, eminently practical, built well and expected to age well as in the Orvis tradition."

Very Nice in Colombia,
July 6, 2008
By:
Jafer
"I'm very happy to wear this jacket, and now is my favourite. Always I wanted to have this kind of product, because I like so much the African Brittish Khaki Style. And finally I found it. Thanks Orvis for create the Zambezi collection. I just have one claim....the bottoms take off in my second wearing. Please review this....just for the future buyers."

Light Weight Traveler,
April 7, 2008
By:
Chicofrom Cincinnati, OH
"Great light weight traveler with plenty of pockets to hold watch, wallet, passport and keys as you run the gauntlet of airport security. Comfortable enough to sleep in on the overnight flight, and still holds its shape for the meal when you arrive. I smashed it in the bottom of my luggage for a week, and it still looked presentable on the flight home. The leather trim takes it up a step, but keeps the "snappy casual" look."

PDIRVfrom Canada
"While I recommend the jacket, I would suggest ordering a larger size. I ordered a 54 Long, yet find that the jacket is a full inch shorter than a XXXL Regular in another brand."
