Review Fear,
May 17, 2013
By: MartyG
from Burns, TN (Nashville)
"I have delayed ordering this jacket due to reviews criticizing the 2-way zipper & the waist circumference. I ordered it 2 days ago and got it today. The zipper is plenty strong and is picky like 3 other 2-way zippered leather and non-leather jackets I own by other manufacturers. Once you figure out it's idiosyncrasy..you easily deal with it. The waist was just what I like, not too big & not too tight. I ordered a 42. My waist is 34 and I am not overweight. I am pleasantly surprised at how pleased I am considering the expense...I was looking for faults and found none...I am happy and I can see it will last the remainder of my days +/- 20 years & then on to my nephew."

A true classic,
May 10, 2013
By: vsulov
"This is a great jacket. Heavy and thick but not rough leather. Gives you a bit of a "bad look". As others have noted - zipper looks somewhat fragile and is sometimes difficult to operate but nevertheless I give the jacket 5 stars because of its overall quality."

Good hunk of hide!,
April 8, 2013
By: Bjorn
from Evergreen, Co
"Good weight, texture and drape for bison hide. A bit tight in the 48 but thats my problem not the coats. Zipper does not match the coat. It should be installed in a nylon windbreaker."

Rugged in Leather,

"A fantastic product. Dapper enough to be country walks down the local gastropub, but equally subtle enough to be comfortable and practical in the chills of the UK weather. A delight to wear."

Restyle the collar,
February 5, 2013
By: banos
from Oakland, Ca
"Beautiful leather jacket! I would have kept it, but the collar just didn't work for me. If I zipped it all the way up, the collar rubbed against my chin which was irritating. It wasn't practical to fold the collar down since I don't think the collar is designed to be folded down and maintain the integrity of the jacket. Change the design of the collar and I would seriously consider this fine jacket."

The devil is in the details,
January 26, 2013
By: Urbock
from the high desert
"The classic style and the leather are first rate. Unfortunately, I must echo the problems that others have mentioned.
I read the complaints about the over-large waist dimensions, and figured the Coronado would be ideal for my fireplug build. Not so. The jacket fit fine across the chest and shoulders, but the waist was far too large.
The double zipper system was small and fussy. It seemed likely to fail each time I tried it. I doubt it would survive a single season of regular use.
For these reasons, I returned the jacket. If Orvis corrects these problems on a subsequent version of the jacket, I will buy another."

Tough decision,
January 12, 2013
By: ZRRIFLE
from USA
"The picture on the website and catalog is very stunning to the eye. However when receiving it, I found the color to be more of a chocolate brown, rather than the rugged, almost grayish-brown displayed in the picture, which is what attracted me. The quality is indisputable. However, as others have commented, I almost always had to struggle with the zipper. However that wasn't a deal breaker. The collar was the thing that I kept having doubts about the most. Very tall, and sure helps on those cold breezy days, but be a nuisance otherwise. I would fold them down, but not sure if it was meant to be folded....looked kind of odd. Also I found it not to be as warm and comfortable as I had hoped, but that's just personal preference. Lastly the fit wasn't perfect. The size 40 was too tight up top, but the 42 seemed just a bit baggy down below. Finally, after much contemplating and second thoughts....I made the decision to send it back. Had I kept it, sure I'd still like it, but there would always be that slight doubt. And for an investment like this, I want to be 100% sure."

Not as big as they say,
December 29, 2012
By: Donna13
from Reno, NV
"I read all the other reviews and ordered the smaller size for my son. He does have thick shoulders and a thick neck but is not totally filled out... I had to send it back for the next size ( the size I would have ordered if I had not read the other reviews). He is young and I was concerned he would not like it...but he loves it... Very styling."

Couldn't Resist,
December 29, 2012
By: Rassler
from Colorado Springs, CO
"This jacket "reached out and grabbed me" the first time I saw it in the catalog." It almost drug me into the catalog and forced itself on me. It was way too expensive for an old man my age who has probably more Orvis jackets than anyone outside the Orvis family. I also have leather jackets that are 40+ years old that I still wear. I resisted for over a year but finally broke down. It arrived and I loved it but the zipper is cheap and the collar, which looks great, irritates both sides of my jaw, especially when I had skipped a day of shaving. It hung in the closet for 6 weeks with me "modeling" it periodically. Finally, I ask my grandson, who is very specific in his clothing taste, if it was a jacket he would wear after I'm gone. He replied yes, so the jacket is a "keeper." However, if the zipper ever breaks, it's coming back. Incidentally, I have never had a zipper break on a jacked. Lastly, I'm impressed and a bit envious of the guy with the 46" chest and 33" waist but I'm betting he has has never bought a jacket "off the rack" that did fit. As a 3 time Olympic wrestler, I've been around a lot of "ripped" bodies and everything always had to be tailored."

Coranado Bison Jacket,
December 25, 2012
By: RCELLI
from Devon Pa
"Beautiful heavy leather jacket - pretty expensive. I agree with prior reviews - zipper is light and doesn't connect easily or slide up and down easily. I'm afraid it will quickly break. A larger, higher zipper would be expected on a jacket of this caliber."

bison leather perfection,

By: scottblack
from harrisburg, pa
"leather texture the most interesting
jacket leather i have seen in over 40 years. overall it wasn't 5 stars because i wanted a flight jacket style collar. a perfect size 40 fit and extremely well made, but ultimately
i purchased the wind river jacket
because of superior styling and features, almost equal leather texture, despite the usual sizing issues for that jacket (on the big side)."

Very Nice!,
December 14, 2012
By: GMan62
from Houston, TX
"Well… I really loved this jacket! Great quality leather with great texture and looks. This was my first leather jacket and didn’t know what to expect. The fit was good. The pockets were a little difficult to get my hands in and out of without some effort and the collar was somewhat on the large size. I liked the thick leather but combined with the linings the weight of the jacket was heavier than what I expected and needed. So since I live in southern Texas, I decided to exchange it for an Orvis lighter-weight jacket. Orvis exchange service was simple and easy."

"Very good jacket, but I would reaffirm what an earlier reviewer said about the zipper. It is under sized and not of the same quality as the rest of the jacket. I plan to keep the coat but wonder if orvis shouldn't re think this very poor zipper design."

Finally found the right jacket,
October 23, 2012
By: Magsman
from San Francisco Bay Area
"After trying other, less expensive jackets of various kinds from other companies and from Orvis, I finally broke down and bought this one. It cost more than I thought I'd ever pay for a casual garment, but you get what you pay for, and, all things considered, I think it's a bargain now that I have it. All the other comments indicating that these jackets run a little big are accurate - I normally wear a size 50-long or an XXL-tall, and the 48 regular, which is the largest size available for this particular jacket, fits me well. I wish I could say it was a little too baggy around the waist, as others noted, but I can't. The design is classic, the leather is really substantial, and the finish is both rough-hewn and exquisite at the same time. The lining material appears very durable. Fortunately it's not flannel lined, and there's no insulation to speak of, but it's roomy enough to wear over a sweater. As a result it's a perfect three-season jacket. Very glad I got it."

Bison Jacket,

By: evenstevens
"I'm 6.1 46 inch chest with a 33 waist - Nice Jacket - great on the arms and the top portion - but too baggy on the waist - if you have a 40 + inch waistline then this will fit nicely. Please Orvis - can you not make one for the folks on the slimmer side please!"

GREAT JACKET,

from Bloomington IN
"I've had a lot of leather jackets but this is by far the best jacket in terms of quality, fit and finish.
The Bison leather is soft and so comfortable, already broken in, with great texture as well. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. The jacket runs slightly big, so order a size smaller than normal."

Bad Zipper,
October 12, 2012
By: Anchor
from Pittsburgh, PA
"What a spectacular coat; beautiful leather, workmanship, and overall quality. Put it on and luxuriate in the feel of it -- THEN, try to zip it up! The zipper is undersized, nearly impossible to thread, and turns an absolutely gorgeous product into a nightmare trying to get it on. When they put a proper zipper on this coat, I'll reconsider buying one."
