nice jacket,
May 6, 2012
By: joesmoe
from NYC
"Great looking jacket. I find myself wearing it all the time.
Two caveats: (1) I'm a large typically but I had to order this in an XL in order for it to fit properly, (2) the wool shawl collar picks up a little more lint that is ideal.
Regardless, one of the best purchases I've made with Orvis."

well-made waxed jacket,
March 28, 2012
By: meso
from Los Angeles, CA
"Construction on this jacket is top-notch, and it's medium weight, lined but not insulated. The fit is slim and flattering if you have a normal build. If you are used to mall brands you will have to size up. I have a chest size 44 and a L fits me perfectly. Taylor Supply are getting better each year!"

Great jacket. Made in NY,
March 26, 2012
By: YoungCastles
from BROOKLYN
"This jacket is my first TS purchase and will not be my last. The quality is top notch and it feels like armor when you put it on. It's a no frills jacket: Great fabric, sold construction, and great fit. Not too slim, and not boxy. I think a lot of people who purchased this jacket and complained about the sizing should maybe actually spend a little more time climbing hills. Kudos, Taylor Supply."

retro waxed cotton classic,
March 22, 2012
By: waxwing57
from London
"I liked this jacket so much I bought the model in Navy as well.
Oddly the brown jacket which I've worn almost every day for the last 8 months is 300 gms heavier? Why I have no idea?
I love all the pockets, especially the inside 2"

A Case of having standard sizes,
January 5, 2012
By: DissapointedBob
"Fantastic jacket ordered to my usual size -- only to find that not only did the jacket not fit -- but failed to fit by a huge amount. This was dissapointing as a shearling jacket I'd purchased from Orvis -- fitted perfectly. Orvis need to get their sizes across their full range standardised."

Great fall jacket,
December 2, 2011
By: TAYLORSUPPLYFAN
from NYC
"I had been searching for a good looking fall jacket for literally years. I decided to spring for this jacket because it was the exact look i wanted with the collar up, rugged, yet simple. It is probably the best purchase I have ever made. I get compliments on it almost everytime i wear it. This isnt a winter jacket though. You would definitely have to throw on a sweater if it was freezing out."

Great, well made jacket,
August 25, 2011
By: LewisReader
from World Traveler
"I was looking for another wax-cotton jacket. I have a Belstaff and have had Barbour in the past. The Hill Climber is as good as any I have had. If there is one complaint it is that I feel it fits big. The description says it runs small but I found it to be the opposite. But if you know your measurements then you should be fine. This is the kind of jacket you will have for a long, long time. It will get better with age and absolutely functions as it should. Feels great on does it's job. Makes me want to sell something to get another!"

"The Hill Climber jacket is sturdy and classic - it looks good and wears hard. The wool-lined collar nicely seals out the weather and the waxed cotton makes brushing off dirt and mud easy.
The jacket is flannel lined, but it is not insulated. For warmth, I'll add a down vest or heavy sweater.
I am a 38 and the size med fit my shoulders perfectly."

"This jacket is definately not up to par with Barbour. It is small for its size with an XL fitting like a L. This is the second jacket I've returned to Orvis and placing another order seems arduous at best. They can't place an order until they receive back my return item, at which point they then have to refund part of my original purchase then send a gift card for the remainder (which was part of a gift). So instead of placing my new order when they receive the return, I have to wait to receive the gift card in the mail, then contact them again and go through the whole process of placing a special order for a Barbour jacket. They should be able to transfer the funds to the new order with minimal hassle to the customer."

"Purchase decision made primarily on styling....and after receiving yesterday I have no problems with either the size (I like the slim fit and ordered my normal jacket size) or quality.
My concern after wearing the jacket today in DC on a 32 degree day....it's very lightweight. I agree with another reviewer that the product description implies that it's more of a mid weight...but it's definitely light."

"Sizing is definitely a problem, at least one size bigger is called for. This is not a warm coat in cold weather but it looks like it should be. A bit pricy for a light weight."

"Very disappointed in this coat! I received it as a Christmas gift, on my request, and when I opened it Christmas Day I was very disappointed for two reasons. The need for the coat was for a cold weather use, but the wool lining feature is misleading, this coat is thinner than my Barbour Bedale and Beaufort. Secondly, the one size up was not enough, I would have needed to go up 2 sizes.
My biggest disappointment is I had to pay the shipping both ways (actually my wife did) to find this out.
I purchase alot from Orvis, but this has been the biggest disappointment in 20 years. Buy from a store after seeing the actual coat,. especially for this price"

"I don’t buy clothes on impulse, so I checked around a lot before I bought this. First of all, when I put it on it felt right on me. The detailing is fantastic. The collar turns up and the cuffs turn back to a finished soft wool for a neat look. The roomy pockets inside and out are a great bonus. I’m 5’ 10”, weigh 185 and the large is a good fit. If I wanted to wear bulk underneath, like a heavy sweater, I might need an extra large."

"This is my first purchase from Orvis and was drawn to the store because of the US Patent Collection. I prefer a slimmer fit on my clothing so I ordered my normal size (Medium) which fit perfectly. I am about 6'1" and 185lbs. and the medium allows for just enough room for layering. The brown waxed cotton outer is very rugged looking and the flannel lining inside provides the right amount of warmth. The price is somewhat steep, but I think this jacket will last for quite some time, so I think it is worth the money. Overall, I am very happy with the jacket and will look to Orvis in the future for more products made in the U.S.A."

"I have purchased many items from Orvis over the years, and for the most part regardless of the price, have been happy with the quality. Now we come to the ''Taylor supply hill climber jacket''. The workmanship and overall quality of this jacket is not even close to standards one comes to expect from Orvis. The sizing is all off as well. XXL is not 50-52. Yes, we know this jacket runs small. But this runs more like a large.I will pay top dollar for an item that is well thought out and special.Also,'' Taylor Supply'' is a local company for me '' Brooklyn NY.'' I want to support those close to me. Not this time however."
Response from Orvis:By Orvis Customer Service Team, September 27, 2010
Orvis Customer Service immediately contacted this customer and apologized for the issue with the sizing. Orvis greatly appreciates your feedback about our clothing—we are constantly trying to find ways to improve our fit.
