Does anyone own a Boyt Safari Jacket that can provide review?

[DUKE NUKEM]

I just picked up two each of these for the wife and I and was wonder how well their holding up?
TIA,
Duke

We also ordered these Boyt pants but they are no longer made.

I'm looking at these to go with the Jacket. http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=0L90

I've been looking at those also, I am curious about the quality.

I had the old style vest, which was the same as the jacket minus the sleeves. Fabric is stout and sturdy, construction excellent, attention to detail also very good. Boyt is known for making very good quality shooting apparel/gear. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Be forewarned that if you actually plan to use the jacket's cartridge holders for their intended purpose, anything shorter than a 375H&H will get lost down inside. They're definitely intended for magnum cartridges.

Thanks for the response Mike. My Safari guns start an 375 and go up.

Those dont look like they are made from as course of material as the standard pictures show. Mind if I ask who you ordered them from? They look good!

I think she ordered them from Optics Planet.
And yes the material is real nice.

I know I'm necro posting here but how is the fit on these? I'm 6'2" and kinda long in the body...I usually need a tall or long. Stuff I get from WPG has to be the long size. Boyt's does not offer a long size. Do these run long or are they the typical US sizing?

Thanks!!

I am just a little shy of 6'1" weighing in at about 230. The XL fits me fine, plenty of length in the sleeves. I actually picked up several styles a few years back when they were on sale, a full long sleeve jacket, a couple with short sleeves, and a couple of vest types. I probably use the short sleeved models the most.. One thing I like is the softness of the material which is holding up very well..

Thanks!

I forgot to mention, Dallas Safari club has the jacket and vest with their charging elephant emblem embroidered, in their on line store.

I am not a member, but went over to one of their annual meeting/shows a couple of years ago and picked up one along with getting measured and ordering a pair of Russell Moccasin boots.
