Did it so one of you could have a chance at this price.
Ordered. Thanks Rixon! {[]
Looks like the cotton/silk version.
Awesome. Glad that worked.
It looks like mine. I take a 48IT and it's this color. It should be 100% cotton. The sheen is simply because it's a solid, heavy weave with a hydrophobic treatment. The inside is half silk half rayon.

Be careful of that website, the monkeys who list the stuff mess up on ITA UK/US labelling sizes all the time, sent me a 48 that was supposed to be a 38, offered to swap it for a different one and they got size of that wrong too. Check the measurements in the info and message them to double check. Unfortunately only found out once it had been through customs and tax applied
I got the jacket this afternoon. (I live in California, so shipping from RealReal in San Francisco only took two days.)
The measurements from RealReal were off a bit, as expected.
The Chest is 22.5 inches from Pit to pit, so 45 inches total (not 47).
The back shoulders are 20 inches with an outer arm of 25 inches for a total sleeve length of 35 or so inches.
Based on the QoS Harrington Project Sizing Chart the tan Harrington is closer to a Size 50 than a 52. Thanks to Rixon I found the size tag. My jacket is a labeled 52.
Yes, it fits. Trimmer than my size 52 QoS, but it fits quite well and looks great.
The jacket is stunning. It has the leather piping around the pockets as well as on the inside of the collar. There was no fabric tag on the inside pocket and no indication that there ever was a tag that was removed. There was a Tom Ford bag with extra buttons.
The Made in Italy tag has the word "Made" in green. Very odd. I wonder if this jacket was originally a production sample.
There isn't a mark on the jacket I could find. What looked like a mark on the inside in the RealReal picture turned out to be lint. )
I got one of those personalised private offers from this seller the other day...was willing to sell it to me for only $6500USD, a massive $500 off the buy it now )

I've dealt with the seller of the auction I mentioned back in 2017 when I bought my first pair of 108's and I liked them so much that I bought a 2nd pair a month later. I've corresponded with him a few times and he offered the current pair for €900 but I opted against it as that was a QOS polo money!
The corgi Jaws Figure is for sale on E-Bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223561656432 and i've heard that only 250 were made. Does anyone know if this is true. Thanks
A 155$ for shipping? Is this guy buying the shipping company with it? )
I asked him, he is trying to avoid fees by offsetting on shipping
He's really not avoiding anything because eBay and PayPal charge you based on the total sale price including shipping. Here in the states you pay 13% total fees (10% to eBay and about 3% to Paypal) and that doesn't even take into account currency conversion. Granted the rules may be a little different in Russia but I'm not 100% sure.

Hopefully its the cotton / silk blend version. Ive had both and the silk blend is much nicer!!! {[]
I'm in the US, so returns not an issue.
I am very familiar with RealReal's problem with measurements.

I will remember that Jordan.
Please forgive the dirty mirror.
Thanks again, Rixon.

That's a very different attitude from other fan sites.
Well done, Rixon!

It has a Connery vibe to me, yet very reminiscent of recent Orlebar Brown releases.
