False fabric content on Left Bank Coat I bought the Left Bank double knit sweater coat #GE24NT. The catalog says it is Merino/nylon/alpaca/silk/cashmere/spandex. Calling it a lush merino/alpaca blend. When received, the tag inside states that it is 30% wool, 35% viscose, 35% nylon. I spent a considerable amount of time sewing snaps on before I found this, so I don't think I can return it. I only wanted natural fabrics, this is disgusting. I have always loved their quality, but now I don't trust them.

I have used Orvis products for years I have used Orvis products for years - but no more. The quality has fallen far below acceptable. A pair of waders that leak this year and then I tried the Hydros Cold Water Intermediate and the loop at the end of the line separated on my second day out. Very poor quality. Additionally, the shipping is awful. $9.95 for a small box - a fly line. One order took 11 days and the next good 12 days. Orvis has lost it.

Don’t waste your time! I stopped by the ORVIS flagship in Manchester, VT last fall with my wife and was aghast at the drop in quality and selection, throughout the store. What was once a wonderful source for clothing, house items and outdoor equipment is now a joke. It appears that the new generation of the Perkins family does not know what they are doing and running the iconic brand into the ground. Very sad indeed!

Even when the website is working it is… Even when the website is working it is not helpful. Many items that they have in the store are not listed on the website.

Very Tough Animal Squeaky Toys I purchased the Trout and Frog Animal Squeaky Toys for my two small dogs (mini size). I also have two large and one medium-sized Australian Shepherds that love to tear the stuffing and the squeaker out as soon as they get a new toy. Well, these toys can co-exist with all five dogs! They have yet to pull out the stuffing or the squeaker and I've had them for 10 days now. It's a new household favourite and I will definitely be purchasing more from Orvis.
