Great alternatives guys , just wondered if you can answer for those who have the zara , mango and Hboss versions.
Which do you consider to be the most SA ?

Thanks for taking the time on the info buddy , most appreciated
Pics not showing on my iPad though , shame I'll try my Mac later
Gives me a better idea now cheers
i tried to capture it with a better camera but for some reason the JV is always much lighter (as you see on the pictures)
In my opinion you can compare the zara and HB versions and the JV have allmost the same colour as the zara one.
i wold say: if you are athletic build to get the fitted look and want something more "luxurious" (the suede is like butter) get the HB one.
otherwise go with the Zara
Hello
Could someone post the dimensions of the armpit of the Zara jacket
Cause due to capital controls in Greece I cannot shop it and my cousin from Germany will shop it and I want to know the cm of the armpit of the medium and large
Thank you in advance
Went to the local Zara this Saturday and had the chance to try it. Unfortunately the only size L available had an ugly bend in the collar (not properly sewn) and will have to order online. Oh well.
For those in doubt, I'm 42"-ish in chest and yes, L is the one for me. It's indeed a slim fit, so if you're a bit too ample in the waist (like I am ) ) you may want to go on diet for a while before being able to zip it comfortably. Well, the missus decided last night that we're going on diet, so that's two birds with a stone I guess...

my cousin send it and today i just received it in large.
thanks to pkk posting the dimensions and writingsonthewall who is 42 inch like me i order it in L and the jacket is almost perfect for me.
i say almost cause the sleeves are kinda long.
the colour is dark navy blue.in specific lightning you can tell that is blue black.
overall the jacket is value for money for us who cant afford the varvatos jacket.
Went to Zara to look (again) at the Tan coloured jacket and although it has chest pockets I think it's a good version and cost effective not a perfect match but certainly in the spirit for the Morocco jacket.
Throw in black sunspel polo, QOS 307's and Skyfall enjoying death des boots and hey presto you have the look!
I will post when I have assembled it all
Cheers :-)

I tried the Zara jacket on in Manchester yesterday...tried a large on...it was a good fit apart from trying to zip the blooming thing up ! I wouldn't say my belly was THAT big but it was a struggle to zip up !
I looked at the tan jacket - I think they had a couple of different designs in that (?)...didn't try that one on though...
Picked up my alternative Zara version today. Was torn between the small and medium (38 or 40). Both were okay but I felt the small fitted that little bit better. The medium wad longer in body and arms. Now need the rest of the oufit!
Will try and post pics when I get chance but for anyone thinking about a budget alternative to the Varvatos I can confirm it's a great buy. Can't knock the fit and quality for £99!
Popped in to NPeal to look at the charcoal jumper but didn't take the plunge. Back to London in a couple of weeks anyway so will return..

Yes, I looked at those before, but 65% Polyester

Mango has a budget alternative to the black JV zip-through that DC was photographed wearing:
The PIQUÉ PANELS BOMBER JACKET, REF. 53063007
Mango USA for $79.99: http://shop.mango.com/US/p0/men/clothing/jackets/pique-panels-bomber-jacket/?id=53063007
Mango UK for £59.99: http://shop.mango.com/GB/p0/men/clothing/jackets/pique-panels-bomber-jacket/?id=53063007

Not sure which to get.
so you can choose for yourself
but in my opinion, the fitting and overall apperance is more SA on the Zara one (colour, fitting and the zippers on the sleeves),
but quality is much better on the HB version which (on me since its 48 size and i am 37 chest) dont have that fitted look but a more SA coller.
i think if you go for SA, choose the Zara one (which can be altered by a tailor to get the coller right and the pocket zips removed).
but as mentioned earlier, i will take some photos tomorrow.

Edit: maybe the navyblue?

HB JV Zara
colours are not 100% true on the pictures

Thanks for the comparison, PPK. The pictures aren't embedded in your posts. I had to copy the url into my browser to view.
Pity the HB jacket has BOSS embossed (no pun intended) on the back of the collar.
The jackets are very similar in style, yet different in the details. How do the colors look to the eye?
All I have to do now is decide which one
thanks again

Thank you in advance
on the medium one, armpit to armpit is ~49cm
See full ensemble below
And on its own
Cheers :007)
It looks a great jacket for the money...it'll be Friday before I can get to a store that carries one...will have to take my credit card with me
I'd order on line. Can always return to a store ☺️
True...but I want to get the size/fit right...don't want to have to pay for two upfront
hello ppk thank you for the info
anyone with large please post the armpit dimension
thanks again
It looks cracking

Manchester is my nearest city...I always have something LFC with/on me...and NEVER hidden
Bond wears Sanders in suede brown so I would say any suede brown boot will be fine.
