I compared the Royale V3 with TF's chart.
The only big difference is the waist measurement.
Just because of that, I will go for my regular size to play it safe.
I have a Royale V3 size M.
The 1/2 waist measures 50cm.
Size 48 on the TF chart has a waist of 50cm.
For your information, I wear size 48 with TF.
According to the chart measurements, I should go for size 46 in terms of shoulders, chest,..
ONLY the waist is a problem...i advise you to check the waist's measurement.
I measured a few jackets and although I'm a 48 in almost all of them, the half chest measurement of 54cm coincides with the size 46 on the Harrington.
Ergo,I'm going with a 46 (like Mantis)
Are we about the same size in other things?
Mantis, I think so.
i'm checking more of my jackets now because i think it may be wise to consider the material of the jacket. it won't stretch. and the chest measurement may be deceiving because the harrington style has a bit of "round" or billowy shape at the chest...
it may be better to compare shoulder and waist measurements (as has been discussed by a few folks here already) because there won't be any give.
i'm thinking of revising my contention to size down because if the chest fits but the shoulders don't, it's all for naught....
so, here are pics with some measurements of 3 jackets of mine: a Belstaff H Racer, the JV spectre, and a Levis denim jacket (all size M)...[i'm a 48 in almost everything I own and that most often translates to a Medium ...occasionally a Small....]
of the 3, the levis gets the closest to the Harrington size 48 but the other two seem to align with the size 46 ....
Hi folks, I was out of town this weekend with limited internet access. Glad everyone is getting things worked out with TF, the sooner all orders are in the sooner everyone will receive their jacket.
I think its still possible to add people so please PM me if you wish to be added to this list.

I have the same issue - After initially thinking the 46 would be right I am going to go for the 48 because of the difference in waist size from the Royale V3 Medium to the 46 - I'm not sure I could wear the Royale v3 with a further 4cm off the total waist.
I'm assuming TF Sloane Street will make adjustments albeit at a price?
Mr. Luigi has kindly responded to my queries, images, and concerns...
He says based on those images, the safe bet is the size 48.....(he suggested that 46 would be a risk)
So to all: if you consider that i'm typically a 48, the images above compared to the measurements on the chart, our contact at TF says I should stay in my size.... which means this thing may be true to size after all....
Still deciding on size. All indications point to a chart size 50. I would have to remove 12 cm from my Royale harrington to hug my hip bone, so the loss of 4cm should be okay. I will send another round of emails off to Luigi, with some pictures and hopefully remit payment in a couple days.
I tried to explain our confusion over the sizing table, but I think the language barrier got in the way. Is anyone here fluent in Italian?
The next issue is what, if anything, to include on the tag. I don't want my name in it, but something would be nice.
The following fit the 17 character per line limit:
Looks like everyone is going with their true size.
Good to know.
As far as personalized insignia, I like the idea, but I'll be fine without it.
Simon, do we know how many still need to process payment?
I assume that if 50 orders are not placed by the end of December, then the project will be terminated. I may have misunderstood that portion of Luigi's letter.
Been doing a lot of measuring and trying on. Def going with a 50 (usually a 41 in TF shirts and 52 in TF casual wear)...
Thats what the chart says will give around 5 inches in the chest, esp as this has next to no lining)...
Sending Luigi forms tomorrow and asking the size 50 chart measurements are guaranteed minimums
Simon didn't ask me to do this, but what does everyone think of emailing Luigi and asking him to GIFT a jacket to him for his tireless work as project leader (you have no idea the amount of time and angst he has been through)...I haven't thought of the vernacular around this yet, but I think if we mention it in numbers that some sort of nod from TF for Simon would be great they might listen to us?

I support this and if TF is not willing to do it, we should collect the cash for one jacket for Simon.
If everybody pays, it would be EUR 40,-- each @ 50 takers.

Still trying to narrow down the right size.
I've decided either a 48 or 50. I guess that's progress...
of the 3, the levis gets the closest to the Harrington size 48 but the other two seem to align with the size 46 ....
I will follow other members' advice to take the true size and have it altered if needed.
I think its still possible to add people so please PM me if you wish to be added to this list.

revised order at this time: 48 for me...

The following fit the 17 character per line limit:
[list=*]
[*]Quantum of Solace = 17 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[*]Harrington Jacket = 17 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[*]Bolivia Jacket = 14 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[/list]
Unfortunately the 17 character limit per line means the following are to long:
[list=*]
[*]Harrington Project = 18 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[*]Bolivia Harrington = 18 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[*]Atacama Harrington = 18 characters incl. spaces[/*]
[/list]
Basically, "Harrington" is too freaking long at 10 letters.
If anyone has any suggestions, please chime in.

They wont write that on any of these but the point being if DC had his name on the inside...
If that still doesnt float your boat how about:

Simon, are you going with a size 50 on the final product?
heeeeeeere we go.......
Good to know.
As far as personalized insignia, I like the idea, but I'll be fine without it.

1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
Will do
1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
Let me know if you come to a conclusion Westward drift.
If the size chart is accurate, I'm a dead on 48, but if the prototype is an accurate 52, I would go for 50.
if the prototype is true i would wear a 58. But the measurement on the chart im a 54. I would rather follow the chart.
Here,here -{
Absolutely
Good idea!

Agreed. I'd be delighted to chip in.
