ORVIS JACKET WAX FIELD COAT Mens L BEAUFORT NAVY BLUE Made in UK
RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VINTAGE GENTS ORVIS WAXED FIELD JACKET. HANDMADE IN ENGLAND AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO AQUIRE A NUMBER OF THESE OF THESE JACKETS FROM A RIDING ACADEMY IN GERMANY (THUS THE GERMAN CARE INSTRUCTIONS) – THEY WERE ONLY USED BY THE RIDERS DURING LESSONS SO HAVEN’T BEEN USED MUCH. THESE ARE OUTSTANDING QUALITY PIECES – FAR MORE ROBUST THAN THE TRENDY MODERN EQUIVALENTS AND WERE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY WITH THE OUTDOORSMAN IN MIND – THIS IS A SERIOUS WORKING JACKET. PERFECT FOR FISHING, HUNTING, RIDING OR HIKING. ORVIS ONLY USE THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS AND, AS YOU’D EXPECT, THE CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT’S GONE INTO THEIR CONSTRUCTION IS SECOND TO NONE – ALL SEAMS ARE HAND DOUBLE-STITCHED. This is the classic Mc Orvis Field Jacket in superb condition (now this model is called the Orvis/Barbour Beaufort). This particular model has now been absorbed into the Orvis/Barbour collaboration – Please visit the Orvis site for a full history of the collaboration. These are, by some distance, the best quality out-doorsman’s jackets on the market. This all-purpose Mc Orvis waxed-cotton jacket has a broken-in, shine-free Sylkoil finish for the ultimate in classic weather resistance. It features two front bellows pockets with snap storm flaps and two chest pockets. It’s lined full length with cotton tartan. The corduroy collar is studded for an optional hood. Snap-closed throat flap and storm-fly front provide additional protection. Raglan sleeves with underarm ventilation, storm cuffs, and brass-finish two-way metal zip. Specially treated 100% cotton shell. ORVIS AND BARBOUR HAVE RECENTLY BEGUN COLLABORATING ON SOME OF THEIR PREMIUM LINES AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW BARBOUR WERE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO MERGE WITH ORVIS… THEN COVID HAPPENED SO IT’S ALL BEEN DELAYED. THIS MODEL IS THE SAME AS THE BARBOUR BEAUFORT USING THE SAME MATERIALS AND WITH ALL THE SAME FEATURES. OBVIOUSLY, THE ONE YOU’RE LOOKING AT IS AN OLDER MODEL WITH ORVIS BRANDING BUT BASICALLY IT’S THE SAME THING. THIS IS THE PERFECT COAT IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT, PRACTICAL (IT’LL KEEP YOU DRY AND WARM) AND LONG LASTING IF YOU LOOK AFTER IT, ORVIS RECOMMEND THAT THESE SHOULD BE PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS! NB – THESE JACKETS ARE BIG! DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR A CHUNKY JUMPER OR FLEECE UNDERNEATH SO THE SIZING IS WAY LARGER (MAINLY THE CHEST SIZE) THAN YOU’D GET ON A NORMAL JACKET. I’VE INCLUDED THE MEASUREMENTS BELOW AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU COMPARE WITH ONE OF YOUR OWN BEFORE MAKING A DECISION – WE HAVE ALL SIZES AVAILABLE SO PICK THE MOST SUITABLE ONE. MENS JACKET BY ORVIS. PIT TO PIT – 28 inches. SHOULDER TO SHOULDER – 24.5 inches. SHOULDER TO CUFF – 23 inches. LENGTH – 33 inches. WATERPROOF AND WIND RESISTANT. DOUBLE-ZIP & POPPER CLOSURE. WAIST, HANDWARMER & INNER POCKETS. STORM COLLAR & CUFFS. CHECKED COTTON LINING. HAND CRAFTED IN BRITAIN. THIS IS THE BEST PART! EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE USED JACKETS (AS MENTIONED, I BOUGHT THEM FROM A RIDING SCHOOL) – THEY HAVENT UNDERGONE ANY HEAVY USE. WHILST THEY’RE NOT BRAND NEW THEYRE NOT FAR OFF. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO RIPS, NO LOOSE STITCHING, NO HEAVILY WORN PATCHES. THERE MAY BE SIGNS OF WEAR AT THE CUFFS AND THE ODD MINOR SCUFF BUT THAT’S IT. ALL THE ZIPS AND POPPERS ARE PRESENT AND FUNCTION AS NEW. THE WAX COATING IS STILL GOOD AND IT WON’T NEED TO BE REPROOFED FOR A FEW YEARS (ABSOLUTELY FINE AS THEY ARE BUT, IF YOU DO GET IT REPROOFED IT’LL LOOK BRAND NEW). WE SELL A LOT OF JACKETS AND I’D GIVE THESE AN 8.5/10. NOT PERFECT BUT VERY, VERY GOOD AND WILL KEEP YOU WARM AND DRY FOR DECADES! NB – ORVIS HAVE BETTER PHOTOGRAPHERS THAN MYSELF SO PIC #1 IS A STOCK IMAGE. THE REST ARE OF A VERY SIMILAR JACKET TO THE ONE YOU’LL RECIEVE (ALL ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SO IT MAY BE MARGINALLY LIGHTER OR DARKER). FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. CHECK MY FEEDBACK – LOTS OF HAPPY CLIENTS! ALL 100% AUTHENTIC AND EITHER BRAND NEW WITH THE TAGS OR IN EXCEPTIONAL USED CONDITION (WE ALWAYS POINT OUT ANY FAULTS) AND AT ROUGHLY 60-70% DISCOUNT ON RRP. PEACE AND GOOD LUCK!
