Unusual Patch Shirt,
May 14, 2013
By: Cucarilla
"Great looking shirt that looks good with jeans or khaki slacks and very good with shorts. Very soft and feels cool to the body in hot weather. Washed it and short time in dryer then hanged damp to dry. Type of shirt that looks good slightly wrinkled. Many were asking where I got the shirt and commented how nice it looked. GO FOR IT!"

Favorite Shirt,
May 14, 2013
By: MonsMeg
from Cape Cod
"I bought the precursor to this patchwork shirt on sale at an Orvis outlet two years ago, and it quickly became my go-to shirt for the summer. And the next summer. It was comfortable, light, obviously well-made, and colorful in a discreet way. I wore it out. This year I replaced it with the new model, which is slightly brighter in color. I happily paid full price for it and will no doubt buy another one in two years."

Enticing colors but . . .,

"I really like the idea of this shirt, especially the patchwork colors. But the sleeves seemed a bit too short. Maybe I just need more muscles."

Wrong Sizes - The small is actually a Large,
January 15, 2013
By: TomCan
from upstate, new york
"In this shirt the Size Medium has a chest and bottom hem measurement of 48", The Size Small has a chest and bottom hem measurement of 44".
The Orvis Size Chart tab online says a 48" chest is an Extra Large and the 44" chest is a Large.
Orvis doesn't even label this shirt to reflect its own standards for sizing which says a Medium would be 38-40 inches. Since the size small in this shirt is 44 inches customers cannot buy a size which will fit someone who takes a Medium even if the order a small."

Sizing,

By: Base
from Michigan
"Seems to be a nice shirt so I bought a medium. The shirt was huge! I matched more of the measurements in your medium catagory then in the small catagory however if I received a medium, a small would probably be too large as well."

"I call this my shirt "of many colors." Taken from the Biblical Joseph's coat of many colors. The coat had to look something like these colors!
This is difinitely a summer shirt.The madras does its own keeping the wearer feeling "cool."

My brother's favorite shirt,
March 28, 2012
By: boxmaker
from Menlo Park, CA
"My brother Gordon died last week and he was a beautiful fly fisherman who taught me his skill. This was his favorite shirt and he gave me one that was too big so I later ordered the Large size instead of the XL which is fine. This shirt tends to run larger than you think so you have to be cautious. I am a 44 Long normally."
