Most comfortable jacket ever,
June 10, 2012
By: Anonymous
from Caornwall
"This jacket is so comfortable with multi pockets for all the things I carry around. It looks smart while being easy to wear and most importantly, it drew admiring comments from all the females surrounding me.
Next stop must be Zambezi trousers!

Train to London,
May 16, 2012
By: MuddyMark
from Stafford UK
"I have not used this on the Zambezi yet but it works fine for catching a train to London without losing my tickets, phone, glasses or wallet. I look forward to trying it out at the airport and being able to find everything without looking like an idiot at the ticket desk, passport control and security as is often the case."

After wearing only 4 times,
January 27, 2013
By: PapaR
from Baton Rouge, LA
"Ordered the jacket after seeing in store after Christmas.. Liked the look but they did not have my size in store so they ordered for me. After wearing only four (4) time one of the front buttons is missing... The sleeve length is not as I was told by store saleman it would be.. So now I must take to tailor and have two new buttons put on and also have the sleeves shortened.. which on this jacket will not be easy.. I liked the look so I will spend the $$$$$..."

Not what i expected.,
January 17, 2013
By: amphibian
from Florida
"I had wanted one of these jackets for over a year and finally decided to purchase. The cut of the jacket was boxy with no appreciable taper, yet the chest was cut tight and the lapels wer wide and not proportioned well as a two button jacket. It did not look right buttoned or unbuttoned. I was disappointed since I had such high expectations and i had eagerly looked forward to receiving and wearing it.."

The Zambezi jacket,
December 6, 2012
By: Wilbert
from London UK
"On paper this was described as a ideal travel jacket, and as I travel often on long flights I thought I would give it a try.
I am certainly not disappointed, the jacket was sold out in my size and I tried a size smaller, and it fits perfect.
Its very comfortable and the casual style in obvious good quality really means I can use it traveling for business as well as on holiday.
For those that are considering it but not sure, take the plunge I am sure you will love it.

Nice Looking Casual Jacket,

By: LoveFeetUp
from Rohnert Park, CA
"This jacket seems not to be cut as generously as items from other mail order houses. Consider ordering a larger size if what you are planning to order is right on the edge."

Very disappointed,
November 28, 2012
By: Gothic
"I have a !0 year old Zambezi which I have worn continuously, it has lasted well and I was well pleased.
However, the replacement was of such comparative poor quality and faulty that it was returned and a refund given.
Quality control ?

Quality,
November 7, 2012
By: Sidesid
from Wales
"I had one of these jackets many years ago and loved it, but this version is just a cheap copy, no leather trim on the pockets and has a fit like a sack, no tailoring at all. And you must standandise your sizes the 42 was miles too big. I was thinking of buying Orvis waders but now I'm worried about the fit."

High hopes,
October 18, 2012
By: medfisch
"This Zambezi jacket replaces the one that has seen some 15 years service on 3 continents and who knows how many planes, trains, ships, buses, trucks, trams, and walkways. It will take several trips to determine if the new arrangement of pockets works as well as the old. But the Zambezi remains one of Orvis's most practical products and I would recommend it to any traveler."

By: Runforfun

"I'm a size 42" chest but this jacket (42" long) was far too big & not shaped at the waist and looked as if I was wearing a sack. Quality/service & returns procedure all fine."

Bad fit,
September 10, 2012
By: Mancity
from Manchester
"I received this jacket very promptly. While the product is well made. I found the fit disappointing. Making for the appearance of a boxy look. Disappointed because I have been looking for a travel jacket for some time now. I intend to try more jackets from this site as I was impressed by the quality just not the fit"
