Boonie hat $20 -- Orvis boonie hat $45
Men's walking shoes $65 -- Orvis men's walking shoes $125
Fishing Kayak $1000 -- Orvis kayak $2000

So I was not too far off on kayak markup though I missed the starting price.

As with fishing rods mere price is not the whole story. Does the boat come with a lifetime guarantee?
Does it have a nice big Orvis logo on the deck? Doesn't it just make you feel better to know that, when you stand in this Kayak, Orvis is standing behind you?
