    Hopefully the sizing is better on these, and they have longer sleeves then the QoS jacket. Still, this is a very nice budget alt. jacket.

    Do we have any prices on the jacket ?, i would be very interested as the wife won't let me spend any more money on my Bond whim as she puts it , but i might be able to get this past her .
    What colour is it if it's not green ?

    I had an email today from the guy who makes the harrigton jackets on ebay. He has made a great replica of the barbour jacket for $199 aud. It looks great.
  • FrigilianaFrigiliana Posts: 165MI6 Agent
    That works out to £ 130 according to google not bad , wonder what delivery will be.
  • VinnyMacVinnyMac Posts: 246MI6 Agent
    That's a pretty solid alternative, but $200? Sure, it's better than the price of the authentic, but it's still a bit much for my taste. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of the Barbour. It's "meeeh" to me.

    He said the sample jacket in the picture was brown but the actual production line would be the waxed olive green. Speaking of Magnoli I'm hoping when he reopens for business at the end of Jan he has some cool new stuff.

    I agree. I actually emailed the seller about this as I bought one of the Solace jackets and the sleeves were to short, so I had to take it to a tailor to adjust them. He says the sleeve length will be fixed on this jacket to avoid that problem again.

    Fingers crossed as I think the photos look good of the sample.

    how about this as an alternative to the N Peal? Color looks somewhat close to the original, more blue than teal (storm blue heather)

    Definitely. I wanted to pull the trigger on his other jacket but the sizing was off for me.

    You should check in with the seller again as he says the new batch of the Solace jackets fixed the sleeve length. I must have bought one of the first runs with the shorter sleeves, so I've been it touch with him to double check that the lodge jacket will be different.

    Here are the measurements for the lodge jacket coming out. I've taken some measurement of existing jackets I have just to check and it looks ok to me. Any comments from anyone else about these measurements and whether they look ok?

    Will know soon as have just ordered a Large, had held off as agreed with most that the sleeves were too short.....

    See when it arrives

    If you get the shoulder width right then the 25.5 inch sleeves should be fine. Fingers crossed !!!

    BTW I see the DSW Red Tape Cowboy Wingtip boots are out of stock. I was going to order them but with working part-time and my wife's hours getting cut to 25 hours, I put it off. UGH! X-(

    Jcrew has the 484 cords in Dark Slate on sale, plus an additional 30% off with promo code on their site currently. I personally think they match almost 100% in colour based on looking at a pair of Iggy pants in Bitter (same style as the movie ones, just not cords).
