After a couple of months wondering what was going on at Flying Canoe I had the pleasure of speaking with a man called John who is now heading up Flying Canoe Traders USA. The company has apparently made several changes in recent months which has left their website out of date but I am happy to report that they are still in business and I received my new sleeveless waistcoat today (it’s Monday and the waistcoat was mailed on Friday, so very fast shipping). This is a great piece. A bit stiff, just like the reviewer said, but sturdy and I have no doubt it will wear nicely.

I submitted an order online with Flying Canoe Traders last month and other than an automatic confirmation e-mail I never heard from them. This past week I tried to follow up by calling them (got a voicemail and left a message) and submitted an e-mail message through there website and still nothing. Does anyone know of any problems Flying Canoe are having or is there a better way of getting in touch with them? I have wanted to purchase a waistcoat from them for some time now and am ready to do so but have been having no such luck contacting them to place my order. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have recieved my waistcoat and it is all the Bilge said it was.
I ordered mine in “rust” and was expecting something more of a reddish brown.Was in face more of a light sand stone brown,not red at all.But still very nice.Changed the color of my hat order with the Mckay to Tobacco Brown. Also I`m glad I ordered the XL(48in. chest)wanting it to fit slightly looser.It just fit with out being too tight.I informed FlyingCanoeTraders of this.Me having a 44in. chest. Still i`m keeping it! Quality is outstanding.Thx Bilge!

My breeches from Flying Canoe have withstood many wearings and washings, the buttons are great . Total quality.
