Orvis clothes are cut generously to accommodate an active country lifestyle. In addition, we build plenty of “wearing ease” into all our garments to ensure you will enjoy them for many years. We field-test all of them on Orvis associates, and we take into consideration how the clothing will be worn. For example, when we fit outerwear, we always size it with the appropriate layers beneath. That means you do not need to order a size up for a comfortable fit.

In
all instances, hold tape firm and level, but not tight.
a. Head: Using a flexible/soft tape measure, start 1" above the ear. Follow around head staying 1" above the ear. This will give your most accurate reading. Then refer to the chart for size.
b. Neck Circumference: Wrap tape around to the base of your front neck and allow room for wearing comfort; OR measure the collar length of a favourite shirt.
c. *Sleeve Length: From the centre back (CB) of your neck with your arm slightly bent, follow the tape around to your wrist bone.
d. Chest: Wrap a tape measure evenly around the fullest part under your arms.
e. Waist: Wrap a tape around your natural waistline, or where you actually wear your trousers.
f. Seat/Hip: Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hip (approx. 7-8" below the waist). Don’t forget to keep the tape level.
g. Inseam: Best taken from an existing pair of trousers you like. Measure along the garment inseam from the crotch seam to the hem.
h. Glove Hand: Measure all the way around the flat part of your hand, excluding the thumb, and around the widest part at the knuckles. Refer to sizing on product page to convert this measurement in inches to your corresponding glove size.

The Fabric
Orvis Hemp fabric is constructed of 100% hemp fibres – which are longer (each a foot long or greater, compared to 2-4" for the best cotton fibres) and stronger than cotton—woven together using a unique cross-weave technology. Hemp fibres are hollow so the fabric has the same cooling properties as linen. Each fibre moves heat and moisture away from the body. As a result, it breathes as well as linen and better than cotton yet is more durable than either—in fact, it’s 26 times stronger than cotton. All this in a fabric that resists wrinkling, is machine washable and dryer safe, and the easiest of the natural fabrics to care for and clean.Tough Enough for Old Ironsides.
The U.S.S. Constitution, launched in 1797, was outfitted with 8 miles of running and 6.6 miles of standing rigging—14.6 miles of hemp-tarred cordage that carried Old Ironsides through 30 battles at sea without a defeat.
Hemp Clothing
In those days, hemp was the strongest possible roping material available. Hemp fibres are much longer than other fibres, such as cotton, and longer fibres make stronger rope. Resistant to UV damage, hemp stayed strong in the harsh conditions common at sea. Hemp fibres were first woven into long strands and then woven by hand into long continuous lengths in unique buildings called ropewalks. When the U.S.S. Constitution was virtually rebuilt from 1927 to 1931, a steam-powered rope-making complex at the Charlestown Navy Yard was still able to manufacture the ancient-style four-stranded hemp shroud-laid cordage required for the warship’s standing rigging. America’s only remaining full-length ropewalk, this stone structure stretches one-quarter mile long.
Garments woven from hemp owe their strength to the fibre itself—with fibre lengths of a foot or more, it betters the average cotton fibre, which measures only about 3/4" long. Longer fibres make stronger yarn. Stronger yarn makes stronger garments.Hemp Facts
- Twenty-six times stronger than cotton.
- More abrasion resistant than any other natural fabric, including denim.
- Breathes as well as linen and better than cotton.
- As effective insulator as wool.
- The easiest of the natural fabrics to care for and clean.
- Hemp grows well without herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides.
- The hemp industry dates back more than 10,000 years. The Columbia History of the World claims that the oldest artifact of human industry is a scrap of hemp fabric from around 8,000 BC.
