Jacket for Men, Lightweight, Multi Pockets, Perfect for Explorers, Photographers and Journalists

This jacket is a faithful reproduction of the vintage Safari style jacket. It is incredibly lightweight and breathable, while remaining very stylish and versatile. As someone who lives on a tropical island, this jacket bridges the gap between nothing and an actual coat, perfect for sun protection during the day, and can be coupled with other undergarments to be warm on chilly nights. It is very easy to dress up or down, and I consider it an essential garment for those who like to dress nicely even in hot conditions, which is notoriously harder than in a colder climate.Some of the other reviews say that this garment is too thin, or seems of cheap quality due to its lightweight fabric. However, this jacket fits the bill in nearly every way, and is of sturdy construction and high quality. I purchased the Stone variant, as I believe this color is more in line with the vintage style, the actual product being an off-white, light-khaki color.For reference I am tall and of slender build, I ordered a large and am quite happy with the way it fits. No tailoring was needed.

Fits mostly as expected, but nowadays that's somewhat roomy so be aware not to size up on these. 100% cotton means it will shrink, and since mine was a little big, I washed in hot water and used a hot dryer with good results. Sleeves and length shrunk almost an inch. If I had preferred the fit out of the box I would have just washed in cold and hang dried.Some reviewers have been surprised this jacket is more of a shirt-weight fabric and not a jacket you would wear for warmth, so keep in mind this Tag product is exactly what a Safari Jacket is supposed to be. Safari jackets were developed for tropical weather back when it was still not appropriate for a gentleman to be out and about in shirt sleeves, but for where it was too hot to wear a jacket over a shirt. So these were traditionally worn over an undershirt/singlet at most, buttoned up most of the way, with belt tying it all together. Very soon the Safari jacket overlapped use with the more military-in-origin Field Jacket style which were generally designed to be worn over a shirt, so the Safari jacket can go either way. I wear this over a business casual shirt in a high desert environment for business casual work situation where it's appropriate (but too hot) to wear some kind of jacket. This one is about as light in weight as it can be and still be substantial enough to look right. That means it might not be as durable as it could be in real bush wear, especially in dense or abrasive foliage. That doesn't stop me from wearing it in the outback desert where it functions as designed. So far the light all cotton fabric has held up fine.Safari jackets also became associated with (big game) hunting since that was a common pursuit of people buying them for overseas tropical travel. This Tag product has a couple hunting details--elastic cartridge holders in the tops of the hip pockets--but mostly a gesture to authenticity.The Khaki is a little more tan and a little darker than some will expect for Khaki, but is a good a functional color. I needed a second one, somewhat lighter, so I got the stone. Stone is a very good color but a little too light and bright for my uses so I used a little dye (2-to-1 tan and grey Rit) and now it's a good Khaki, a little lighter and less tan than the Tag Khaki, but very close.

Bought this for my husband for his birthday. I was so excited when i spotted it about 8 or 9 months ago.The styling is beautiful. The fabric is the sort that wrinkles easily. Buttons only and no zippers. It is more for a look, rather than warmth. My husband- who is barrel chested found it too tight across the chest. It fit well in sleeve length and body length.Ended up returning it. The next size up would have probably fit across the chest but would have looked like a dress.

A quality product good hot weather jacket/shirt

light weight . more like a long blouse, shirt than true jacket. easily can be worn as a long shirt ie tunic like. Feel it is overpriced for what you get.

This piece is awesome! VERY functional, lightweight, and stylish. I'm 6FT at 160LBS, athletic build of 38R chest, slim fit. I bought a SMALL and it fits like a glove; if that's how you like it. (The sleeves are long, just rolled and buttoned at the bicep.) Everyone that gave this piece of clothing a 1-2 Star just for it "Not being a jacket" is stupid. One woman even complained that it came in a mailing bag, not a box, AND said she isn't even going to try it on. Again, it's completely functional and named a safari jacket for a reason. People don't know how to size themselves across brands, varying nations and continental measurements. I don't know what the #@%& else people expect a "jacket" to be when you're wearing it in 90-120Fahrenheit working in the sand or jungle. My only complaints are - the armholes are a bit high and the buckle is made of plastic, not metal (for 90USD?).

This product should not be marketed as a "jacket". It is almost too light of fabric for even a shirt. I should have heeded earlier reviews. Using the suggested chest, sleeve and waist size chart...it was too small. I never review products....this one deserves a poor review.

He had been looking for a lightweight jacket to wear in humid Florida. This one fits well and is just what he wanted. It wad a little pricey for just cotton but it is well made in Africa.

Fit well but got one size larger to fit a shirt under. Thank you for something different.

the belt is missing

Fitted well but Sleeves were much too long and had to be altered.
