Good Jacket,
February 8, 2013
By: HongKongPaley
from Shatin,Hong Kong
"I ordered this Hamilton Distressed Leather Jacket medium size for myself,The jacket arrived it appeared well packed .
when I unpacked the box the jacket looked like it had been worn ,The leather is very supple and light-weight, size fit great perfect for me.
However,I found Two pocket of flaps and collar had become very creased.
I think they can (Orvis) improve this before packaging and shipping.

Perfect coat/blazer blend,
February 5, 2013
By: MNChef
from Saint Paul, MN
"This is neither a heavy coat, nor a blazer, but a perfect combination of both. I love it for times when I will have to keep a coat on because I'm outside or in a place where there is no coat check, etc. and want to look nice. Doesn't get too hot or heavy. Leather is on the burgundy side of brown, and unless viewed directly from the front the elbow patches are very distinct. Looks great with jeans and the olive Orvis Microsuede vest."

Orvis Quality is There,
January 31, 2013
By: Alphorn
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"It is midway between casual and dressy - I wouldn't go out to a fine restaurant in this jacket. The leather is very soft and mid-weight. The only things I didn't like was the reddish suede elbow patches - and the lining Isn't as nice as my Bandera jacket. The fit is similar to other orvis xxls I've worn."

Not for Everybody,
January 29, 2013
By: RhodyJoe
"I would say the quality is marginal. The first jacket arrived badly creased, a problem noted by several reviewers. The stitching in the bottom hem of the jacket appeared loose and pulled out easily. Wanting to like this item, I ordered a replacement that came in much better condition. Like the look, but still trying to determine if this jacket is a keeper. Not quite up to my idea of the Orvis standard."

Classy look,
January 29, 2013
By: parsony
from Cleveland, Ohio
"Saw this style at eton store and later ordered on line. I am only a size 40 with a small build but the medium was too tight. I called the store and reordered the large. It is wise to buy at a store for the rather expensive leather goods."

Leather is disappointing,
January 24, 2013
By: Roseland
from Charlottesville, VA
"When I received this jacket I was disappointed that the leather was not at all like what is shown in the picture. Must be the lighting that they took the picture in, but the actual jacket's leather is more like a thin naugahyde one might have seen in a 1977 Vega."

Gave in to temptation,
January 17, 2013
By: ErlangenGuy
from Stillwater, OK
"I had seen this jacket for months, maybe longer, but ordered other Orvis products instead. Finally gave in and got this jacket. I wear an XL and that size fit great. Good weight, not too heavy but not the lightest. Will wear well for spring and autumn."

Disappointing,
January 17, 2013
By: Andysugz
from Plymouth, Devon, England
"The jacket arrived it appeared well packed. The inclusion of a suit cover was a nice touch. However, once I'd unpacked it I found that one of the pocket flaps had become very creased. I did consider putting it under a heavy book or even carefully ironing it, but in the end decided that, for a relatively expensive item, I shouldn't have to compromise.
That aside, it was a nice jacket. The returns policy was straightforward and convenient, just drop it off at a local shop."

Perfect light dress jacket,

"I was looking for a light and, for me, dress jacket, to wear in the spring or fall. This fits the bill perfectly. The sizing is perfect. The distressed look of this jacket adds to its charm."

Not as good as I expected,
January 5, 2013
By: DiscerningTaste
from South Yorkshire
"This looked really good in the photographs but I have to say I am a little disappointed.
The leather is very soft and has a nice feel but I am am not sure it justifies the price.
The biggest issue I have with it is the cut. It does not hang right for me from the collar to the top button on both sides, but more on the left, it 'turns out wards'. This is accentuated when carrying anything in the left (or right) inside pocket.
I have had it 2 months now hoping it would improve and its too late to return. Perils of on-line shopping!"

Poorly tailored,

"The "medium" I ordered turned out to be closer to a large. This is consistant with another coat that
I had ordered from Orvis.

Orvis outerwear scores again,
November 24, 2012
By: chris10452
from Gallupville, New York
"With 3 Orvis leather garments already, why one more? Because it's so darn nice, that's why. And it fills a niche I needed filled. Sport jacket cut: so useful. Button cuffs: excellent touch.
Light weight, nice drape, has the look that dresses up a very casual outfit and will make a more formal outfit breathe a little easier. This jacket says: "Country/sportsman guy who wants to cut it in town."
It didn't hurt that my wife said, "It's so you, got the sorts of details you look for and makes the look you want."
My lawyer is going to be jealous."

By: Oct15
from Hayward, CA
"From the moment the image of the jacket (Hamilton Distressed Leather Jacket) caught my eye, through the process of getting the funds together, to the good luck of doing a live Chat with a courteous, knowledgeable consultant, to placing the order on line, to timely receiving the jacket, and of course, to putting on that marvelous piece of workmanship, all I can say is: Wow! This whole thing has been really fantastic, and if you can, get one. Thanks."

Walk In Style,
September 27, 2012
By: Steve777
from Amherst, VA
"The Hamilton Distressed Leather Jacket is one of those "feel good" purchases we all need from time to time. Its a well made, tasteful leather "take a walk outside" coat.. Its classy and timeless in design. Its sturdy enough for "bushwhacking" but also great for walking around town. Great color and consistency on the leather. Glad I finally got one."
