Montana Morning, November 15, 2009
By: Blackberie from Sugar Grove, IL

"I have bought 10-12 Montana Morning sweatshirts over the years and have had excellent results. However, the last two I bought 1-2 years ago (w/ button placket and collar) have shrunk in length so I would suggest ordering a size larger or a least talk to customer service rep before ordering."

Great sweatshirt, BUT, November 10, 2009
By: Hayden from Cedar Rapids, Iowa

"I bought the sweatshirt in red, but now it is pink. Have tried to be careful washing it--cold water etc. but still looks washed out. Also, the top of the collar has started to fray and I don't wear it that often. In a perfect world, the pockets would be alittle deeper. Always worrying if I'm going to lose my keys."

Great.....but!, October 15, 2009
By: Stanier

"Like almost all of the other reviewers, I find Montana Morning sweatshirts ideal. The fit is just perfect, and they are so warm, and comfortable, but......as other wearers have commented, sometimes greasy stains will just not wash out of certain colours in the range. In desperation, you then try stain removal products, and you end up with a much lighter patch, invariably on the front of your sweatshirt. There is just one other point I would like to make........what has happened to the black colour ? I can't seem to get hold of one anywhere. Please reintroduce ASAP. Large size required (42"- 44" chest). Kent, UK."

Looked great; faded quickly, September 27, 2009
By: Bill44sb

"On purchase the sweatshirt looked and felt terrific. Several cold water washings later, it was badly faded and appeared much older than it actually was. While I liked the look, the quality and fade resistance need work."

Response from Orvis: By Orvis Customer Care, October 2, 2009
Orvis Customer Service contacted this customer and offered an exchange or full refund. We also expressed regret that this sweatshirt faded more than expected. Pigment-dyed garments by nature do fade for that casual, broken-in look. You can always shop at Orvis with complete confidence. We will cheerfully exchange or refund your purchase at any time, for any reason. Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is the strongest in the business. Note: I will put on bug tracker for shrinking, quite a few 1-3 reviews lately

A bit disappointed, September 2, 2009
By: SteveNJ

"I read alot of the reviews prior to purchasing this sweatshirt. I agree that it is comfortable, but I'm not crazy about the way it has washed. I follow all the directions. I wash in cold water only and dry on light setting, but the garment seems to have shrunk more than I would have expected. I am 5' 8" with 33" arm length, and the sleeves are now a bit too short, as is the length, which is really unusual for me. I always seem to be trying to pull it down in those areae. I purchased it last winter, so I haven't had it a long time. I don't think I would but another, especially at full price. Thankfully I got it on sale."

Looks great, but . . ., September 2, 2009
By: Anonymous

"Knit cuffs wore through quickly. Don't know why. Thought it might be wrist-watch rubbing, but both cuffs had holes in them within 4 mos."

Berkshire Evening Sweatshirt, July 21, 2009
By: Jagter from Berkshire, UK

"I don't often get to wear mine in the morning, but in cooler weather, this what I put on when I get home from work. I like the zip, which can be closed when it cools down outdoors, and the pockets are handy. Tell you what would be really useful - a glasses loop like the Signature Polo shirt."

marks don't wash out, May 24, 2009
By: surfandrun

"Very disappointed with my sweatshirt and marks don't wash out - on the field khaki colour anyway. And don't believe the 100% satisfaction gurantee - it only applies if you can still find the receipt!"

Comfortable, durable, and warm, May 15, 2009
By: caddisfly from Central Illinois and trout streams everywhere else

"I've owned lots of sweatshirts, but my Montana Morning shirt is the best of the lot. So, good I just purchased my second one and I'm sure there will be more in the future. The convenience of the zipper top and the side seam pockets are the top features that set it above all the rest. It is great to use in layers to ward off the winter chill or to grab for spring or fall mornings until the sun warms things up. It has been laundered many times and still looks new."

Great looking - poor washing, May 5, 2009
By: surferboi from cardiff

"I have had my Montana Morning for a couple of years now. Love the look, love the features......but the performance in the wash has been disappointing.
Always washed in accordance with the instructions,
anything which caused the slightest mark just doesn't come out. So, I have a small white patch on the front and something else on a sleeve. Which is a shame as I love to wear it so much but have to keep it for round the house. I would like to
buy another, but hey, I'm worried the same will happen."

My favorite!, February 23, 2009
By: Rustyduck from Morrisville, PA

"I bought my sweatshirt as a gift to myself prior to Christmas. I actually came on this afternoon to order another because I love this one so much. It's great as relaxed weekend wear with a pair of jeans, but the natural color is good looking enough with khakis for the casual office. It's keeping me comfortably warm in my drafty office this afternoon. I've gotten many compliments on it ... my fiance wants one for herself!"

A Terrific Sweatshirt, January 25, 2009
By: Jeff777

"The Montana Morning sweatshirt is a really nice sweatshirt. It's soft and comfortable, the colors are nice, it doesn't shrink when washing, and having the side pockets is a treat on a frosty Washington State morning. I like the Barn Red one so much that I'll be ordering more once they get some more colors in stock. Highly recommended.
One caution: The pigment dye on these sweatshirts - Barn Red in my case - bleeds like crazy, so be sure to wash them separately to avoid an unpleasant surprise."

Well worth it!, January 16, 2009
By: kzoo1

"I bought one of these about 4 years ago, and finally broke down and replaced it today. Very durable, and very classic looking. This is a sweatshirt that does not look/act like a sweatshirt.

I highly recommend this product."

Comfort Defined!, January 1, 2009
By: Gieser from Memphis, TN

"I cannot begin to describe the comfort level of this. Not only is it comfortable, it is warm and durable. The Montana morning line is one of my favorites offered anywhere. It fits very roomy and I like that because I am big guy. I will be adding more to my Montana Morning collection soon!"
