Lambskin Munitions Vest

Inspired by a style first worn and popularized by Royal Air Force ground crews who needed a comfortable, rugged outer garment they could move in as they rearmed the Spitfires and Hurricanes that won the Battle of Britain. Longer than most vests, it won't ride up when you reach, and it's made of rugged lambskin leather with a smooth grain that is soft and supple. Lined with our 100% soft cotton moleskin for all-day comfort. Four exterior pockets. Two-way front zipper. In cognac. Professionally clean. Imported.Sizes S(34-36), M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52). About 29" long in size large.

Absolutely delighted,
July 10, 2012
By: Whisperer
from Essex
"Item arrived within a few days, well wrapped. It was on a quality hanger and zipped protection cover, very impressive. The quality is excellent with no flaws or blemishes in leather. Good lining and stitching. Zip is of a very good quality and should last for years. It provided a very comfortable fit if slightly generous. Hangs well and has plenty of good sized pockets. Being both smart and casual I will wear this for many different occasions. Will look good over both jumpers or shirts. Highly recommended."

Lambskin Munitions Vest,
February 6, 2012
By: habbers
from Aberdeen
"Excellent quality of leather with a lovely grain and colour to it.
Also the leather is very soft & supple which makes it extremly comfortable & versatile to wear.
This product screams quality and can be worn with either a thick sweater on very cold days or just a shirt on milder days.
Best Orvis purchase todate which says a lot as I like all my Orvis clothing.

"I've looked at this waistcoat for a very long time, but feared the price! Would it be worth it? That much money?
Well, it is!!!
The leather is so soft and nice. Since I've received it, I just can't make myself wear something else.
Orvis, as we know Orvis!

Style and durability,
April 2, 2013
By: Melvyn
"I purchased this product because I like style that is off the beaten path. While leather vests are nothing new, the quality of this product surpasses the norm. It's perfect to make a bold and subtle statement all at the same time. I'm not a hunter or outdoorsman by any means, but I love the statement it makes about style."

What I expected,
March 28, 2013
By: Lancaster
"I ordered down one size, based on reviews, and the medium fit fairly well. It was a bit snug across the chest. The interior moleskin lining is superb. The weight is what you would expect of an outdoor vest. The finish of the leather was, unfortunately, most disappointing. It looked and felt like a wet, slick synthetic. Too bad."

A great vest!,
March 13, 2013
By: Philosquire
from England
"Wonderfully supple leather, very well crafted as expected from Orvis. Warm and comfortable over a sweater, but unobtrusive for working with. I'm glad I decided to take the plunge even though it was a little costly. I will be wearing this often."

Beautiful vest,
March 6, 2013
By: kdl42
from Des Moines, IA
"however, it did not fit me and I have to send it back, sadly. I am a 3X woman, so took a chance on your XXl fitting when I read reviews that it was large for its size.
However, it was too small. Also the shoulders stand up in a straight line, so gives me an almost military look.
I do recommend it for anyone it fits.

Was not disappointed!,
February 5, 2013
By: explorer007
from BC, Canada
"I've been eyeing this vest for four or five years now, and finally broke down and bought it. Wow! The leather is soft, supple and beautiful. The vest is substantial and great looking. It is cut long. I agree with others: it does run large. I'm 5'10' tall/175 lbs. I normally wear a medium, but ordered a small, and it fits perfect and trim (unless you were planning on wearing this over a heavy jacket).
Love it! Wish I would have bought it a few years ago!"

"Been looking for this for a long time since I out grew one purchased before my "He man chest" dropped down into my chest of drawers. Full cut to the chest size 50 - 52 (inhale exhale) and still covers my baby bump."

Exceptional Clothing,
February 3, 2013
By: BigEd101
from N Ireland
"This is without doubt one of the finest pieces of clothing I have ever ordered from Orvis. The quality of the leather is great and supple and so well put together. The vest has a beautiful lining and great stitching especially around the hem of the garment which will help prevent sagging. Styling is great and the vest sits well and looks great. Best buy I've made. Great range of pockets and the beautiful feel of leather all leads of a great product."

The Jury's Still Out,
February 1, 2013
By: Geelover1
from Stockton Calif
"Initially I was disappointed when I saw that the color of the leather was darker than on the illustration I saw on-line.....The cut is ample so although I usually wear extra large I had to return the vest and request the large size...as always the quality of materials is unquestionably top notch but I can't get it to hang on my body as attractively as the illustration appears..It lays too flat on my body for my taste's and won't stay open at the collar..Maybe I've just got to wear it a little but The Jury's still out."
