As someone who lived in East Africa for almost seven years, worked at the real Abercrombie & Fitch when they sold guns and safari gear, and wore several A&F safari jackets over 20 years I was so happy to see a bona fide safari jacket for sale. Bellow and pleated pockets -- check. REAL belt -- check. Decent all-cotton construction -- check.
I've got several suggestions to make them perfect. The jacket is simply too long by about 3 inches, so shorten the whole thing! Double flap in the back would make it better suited to walking and hunting. A lighter and finer cotton would be great! The old A&F jackets were, I think, made of a fine and very tough poplin. I often wore them without a shirt underneath both in Nairobi and out in the bush.
For the price, especially, these are an excellent product. Thank you for making them. I'd pay another $30-$50 for those improvements and bet a slew of folks would.

The reason I give this a 5 star rating, is because of the quality and the fit and the fact that this jacket is 110 percent like the one Hannibal wore on the A-team, I got this for my son for his birthday and he loves it and so do I, I'll be getting one as soon as I can, the price is the best. Thanks guys for making the best Jacket ever.

I am always impressed by the quality of Historical Emporium's clothing. This jacket and the pants are both heavy weight, but not too heavy to be hot in warm temps. It fit to my exact size. I received many compliments on my outfit at our Mardi Gras ball. I am anxious to wear it Mardi Gras day! Thanks HE!

This safari jacket is extremely well designed and made. I love the extra length look which is totally authentic for this product. While I am European, I lived in various countries in Africa for 12 years. I used to have such a jacket (bought in England) 40 years ago.
I am very pleased to have found such a wonderful source of clothing design as Historical Emporium.
Separately I have also bought the matching pants and suspenders. All three items are high quality, and I would highly recommend Historical Emporium to any potential customer.
Payment was easy, and delivery was extremely efficient and fast.
Congratulation to the Management and Staff of the company!

Not the color I expected, but worked out well in the end. Good thing i waited to make the pants after i received the jacket. The khaki in real life is more British Army Khaki than the color shown on the webpage (on various monitors it looks more cream than dark army khaki)
Ordered the 2XL for my 5'8" tall husband. Needed a 2" hem but i washed it first based on previous experience. The sleeves were perfect after washing :)

This Bush jacket is what I was looking for. Well made, fits well, material strong. I wish it had a few inner pockets but they can be added if necessary. I've shortened the jacket...but that's individual preference.
