was the measurements accurate? I know couple of us sized down.
I have several other Tom Ford jackets, suits, tuxedos , knitwear etc and the this jacket fits pretty much like a normal Tom Ford garment. Fitted, but not Slim like his more recent Harrington jackets. Please excuse my rail-thin embarrassing appearance in the photos- I have been traveling a lot and not been to the gym. My opinion is that this jacket will look great when I put some weight back on / on someone who has muscle mass on their shoulders like Daniel Craig did in the photos.
First two photos Daniel Craig, second three Tom Ford, last two Royale. I'm wearing a size 52 T.F. Large Royale. I'm much taller than Daniel Craig but like I said no muscle tone. Just to give you an idea of the fit- hope that's somewhat helpful. I think if you sized down one size you will have a more screen accurate fit unless you lift weights, then normal size should be a D.C like fit.
Ok, off to lift weights now..
Thanks so much, such a great jacket. My two cents is that the jacket looks much better with the buttons tightened to make the jacket look a bit slimmer on the bottom. I am hesitant to tailor my jacket at this point as I am usually a good 10 pounds heavier than I am now, so I will see how it fits in a few months after lifting and then perhaps do some tailoring.
Looks good anyway -{
I just thought that waistline for this particular jacket is going to be a lot slimmer comparing to other jackets(in general) I was afraid from that there won't be any give as its solid waistline,not one with rubber inside )

Simon! I thought you would at least receive yours first! What an amazing thing you have achieved for us all..... I too can't wait for mine.
Next time you're in London Vespers are on me!
Hope you're well.

Have to disagree, in both the shawl neck cardigan and the Harrington, the fit is "comfortable" in the film...
The later pictures of the Harrington are following "action"... The earlier pics from the bar and outside the hotel show it in the condition we have and much more loose.
And of course, on DC's honed physique everything looks good / different
Glad I didnt size down...
Would be skin tight and not everyday wearable for my shape. Measurements are one thing, but they cant account for the full shape, the weight of the material and how it sits on different body shapes...
The TF is ever so slightly bigger than my Royale, and that is very slim fit on me. To drop another 1.5 all round just wouldnt work...
If I button the adjusters the TF is grippy on my waist. Another size down and I wouldnt be able to use the adjusters.
I guess same size or size down comes to what fit you want and also your body shape, bigger shoulders / chest will need usual size.
Interesting to see when those who did size down get theirs.
Pretty much the same measurements as 007JBDCMWR so quite glad I didn't size down and stuck with my regular TF size. Now hopefully not too long of a wait until I get my package here in Aus!

Did the Medium Royal V3 really run that big? I thought TF52 was considered XL.

Hi, sorry my Royale is L
TF is virtually identical, but the heavier weight means it fits a tad closer
My jacket arrives this afternoon...will get some pictures and maybe a quick video up this evening. I am happy that people are happy with their jackets thus far. I ordered a 48 and I vacillate between a 48 and a 50 with TF jackets. I was not looking for the relaxed fit that it seems others were looking for, but as some mentioned it really does depend on your body type. Also, your shoulder to waist ratio has a LOT to do with how this jacket looks on you. If there isn't much difference between the two the jacket will look relaxed on you no matter what....
Indeed Mantis, it greatly depends on body type. My jacket just arrived and its spectacular - the usual from FT. I ordered a 48 as I wear 48 with my other TF jackets. The size is spot on. Some photo's to follow...

There really isnt an official Size equiv. I class 52 / 42 as L
When I bought my Quantum cardigan back in 09 it was Large, tagged somewhere as 52 also
I certainly wouldnt expect someone with a 39-40 chest to buy Large size, Def more a medium....

I'll be disappointed not to see a beaming selfie JTM when yours arrives! Looks fantastic everyone. Well done Simon for achieving this.
I didn't get one of these jackets! Just popping in to express my admiration for this community's commitment and patience on projects such as these. You deal with armchair experts, naysayers and grumblers the whole way through, and now it's time to reap the reward. It's great to see.
I hope you gentleman all enjoy the spoils of your endeavor! -{

Well I don't like to disappoint so you can bet i'll be straight onto that :007)
Glad everyone is happy with theirs! I am still awaiting mine and not sure yet when it is coming, but I am excited nonetheless. This endeavor was most impressive.
I also missed this run due to expenditure elsewhere this year, but happy to see so many enjoying pulling the trigger! They all look great might pick myself up a spare Royale as you all start eBaying yours
Enjoy in good health all
Cheers :007)
P.S That's why I love this forum you can equally enjoy others enjoying their moment!
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
Had some good and bad news, the good was receiving the jacket which is beautiful, the bad being that I did go a size down and it is too tight I guess I have learnt a valuable lesson.
For reference I do take a 44-46 and went for a 42. Anyway I am sure there will be some swapping going on but will see if Luigi can help.

Sadly not GS but I will hold you to that!

He gives the 52 chest pit to pit as 60cm which is 23.6inches
Mark says his newly arrived 52 is 23.5 inches pit to pit
Guess that means jackets run true to the size chart

Went for the standard packaging... I am going to live in this jacket :007)
And the jacket itself:
Not good at taking selfies:
Now back to work...

Damn...sorry mate. Hope you can find a fix.

I have sent an email to Luigi, will keep you posted if a solution can be found. Slightly annoyed with myself, but hey that's life.
FedEx sent a text the day before and then another on the day with the tracking number.
You will not be disappointed by the jacket, it is beautiful

I thought it did, on the chest it is just about OK, the waist is a struggle, I barely managed to zip it up.
The shoulders are perfect, as is the back length, sleeves were a little long, but I knew I had to get them taken up.
It is just the waist that's the problem
