Two chest pockets,
February 25, 2013
By: Raindrops
from Portland, OR
"My husband loved this shirt. Orvis is one of the few places where you can actually buy a two pocket, easy care fabric, men's shirt. I'm not sure exactly why two pocket shirts are so hard to fine, but they are. Some guys don't like sitting on wallets, so two pockets is a necessity. Keep making them, and I'll keep buying them. Would love to see more of those beautiful plaid wrinkle free ones you had in your catalog several years ago."

Great-looking shirt!,
September 27, 2012
By: peaandbee
from Winnipeg, Canada
"Fits just right, it has beautiful print on the cloth, and best of all -- the cloth doesn't have that chemical sizing, which my husband detests because he has sensitive skin & most shirts irritate."

Watch the sizes,
August 13, 2012
By: PhDig
"I'm 5'10, 180 lbs, 42" chest - and large swallowed me. Had it replaced with medium, chest and shoulders ok, but neck tight. Since I don't plan to button the collar, I kept it. It is a beautiful and high quality shirt, but the sizes are off."

Met All Expectations!,
July 4, 2012
By: nodakman
from St. Louis, MO
"The Kalamkari shirt looks great and feels right. The first time I wore it I went to a Gelateria for a meeting over coffee and dessert. Less than 15 minutes after I sat down a waitress stopped by to remark how nice the shirt looked. That was confirmation enough for me!"

Great Shirt but...,
June 28, 2012
By: Stubo
"This is a great shirt if you are very tall and have very short arms. The body was long (not marked tall) and the sleeves were about an inch shorter than I would like. The real reason I did not keep it was it was not good with my complexion (color)Great design, good material, well made. If this was made for a real person 5'9'' 155 size M I would buy a bunch. Longer sleeves and two pockets covers a lot of defects in most folks (Target?) I hope this helps Stubo"

Great print,
July 3, 2011
By: EgyptJo
"This is a really nice print - very attractive and suitable for wearing with any colour. The fabric is also very good - substantial without being too heavy. My only comment is that the shirt (a medium size) is very long and therefore not suitable for wearing untucked if you are under 6 ft tall."

Nice enough,
June 29, 2011
By: Oceanspray
"Nice enough shirt, good quality, I was just a bit disappointed in the colors. They were more muddy and muted than they appeared on the website. However, this is one of very few shirts that Orvis sells in a men's small, so the pickings are slim. Make more in small, please!"
