The Orvis Big Bear is a substantial outdoor flannel designed with the structure and utility of an overshirt. This example uses a deep blue and charcoal plaid across a brushed 60% cotton and 40% polyester material.

Its practical detailing includes two large buttoned chest pockets and concealed side-entry handwarmer pockets with soft internal pocket bags. The front closes with dark buttons, with matching buttons at the cuffs. A curved shirt-tail hem allows it to be worn comfortably over a T-shirt, knit or lightweight sweatshirt.

Additional details include a reinforced grey inner collar, back shoulder yoke, central box pleat, locker loop and Orvis branding at the neck and chest pocket. The combination of a long 80cm body and substantial construction gives it the appearance of a shirt jacket without the bulk of a fully lined outer layer.

Presented in excellent pre-owned condition with no holes, pilling, fading or shape loss observed. Every button remains present and secure.
