Default Old Orvis Stock

Does anyone know of any retailers that hold old Orvis stock ranges?

I'm looking for the previous version of the Safe Passage DS Sling Pack (Forest Green) but Orvis UK and US can't help and only have the new brightly coloured ones of this year.

I have put up a wanted post in the correct section in case there are any second hand ones out there but this post is about sourcing a new one from someone who still has stock.

Any ideas?

Might be worth contacting the Orvis outlet at Clarks village.Ive never been there but my wife informs me that amongst the mass of clothing there was some fishing tackle-may well be older models

all the best Nick

Keep a look out on ebay.com (not ebay.co.uk). I got mine from the US which is actually a brown one...older than the green ones. I assume you think the new colours are pot!!
Me too.

Is there an Orvis shop in the outlet village? Its not listed in the Clarks outlet info?

Thanks for that Andrew. I have sent them an email to see if they actually have one in stock and will wait to see what they have to say.

Hopefully, if they have one, it will solve my problem.....even though the shipping cost is nearly as much as the cost of the item .....but I don't really care in this instance.

Thanks to everyone for your help

Fingers crossed for you Steve; if you have some time to do the searching you could also check out the Orvis distributors in other European Countries, I have looked at some of their websites (sorry can't remember which ones ) to see if they have one. Would probably be cheaper than buying from the States but will take you some time trawling the sites (which I have now run out of!), some of which have an English option.

Here's the link for the dealer search...

Orvis - Location Search

Good luck... Andrew

As already mentioned, keep a watch on ebay.com. Everything in the world will eventually go up for sale on eBay.
