What Orvis makes and sells in the US are great products. Period. The over re-branding of Chinese imports and junk was always a stain on an otherwise amazing company. Blaming something as trivial as tariffs as “soul-searching” makes you look petulant. Raw material prices will ALWAYS fluctuate, but the reason they stayed high 4 years ago and didn’t come down has to do with one thing- IMPORTING SAID RAW MATERIALS WHILE KILLING OFF A MANUFACTURING BASE. That wasn’t tariffs, and Orvis did their political part in making that happen, as did Patagonia. Reaping what you sew.
