Just to let everyone know that I have just arrived home and tried my jacket on ....... PERFECT FIT
Sized Down ..... Normally 52 Std. ...... went for Size 50 based on the Size Chart.
My actual Chest measurement is 41.5" and waist 32" ..... can also easily use the Second buttons on the cuffs & waist band if I wish ..... no problem.

Congrats on your Jacket and your fit. No more worry now lol.
My jacket arrived last thursday but unfortunately I am out of town until the end of the month.. The suspense is killing me! Really happy for everyone who has received theirs, wear it well! :007)
Did anyone else's jacket arrive with retail price tags? Mine did, but 007JBDCMWR's didn't. I'mm wondering if the tags were attached only to jackets sent outside the EU for customs reasons.
Not sure about the tags but the FedEx rep did say on the phone that the package was marked as €1100 value, so that's going to save me a bunch on Aussie customs fees!
My customs declaration is for full cost. Of course, almost half is covered by the $800 exemption here in the US.
Mine was supposed to arrive today but will arrive tomorrow as FedEx having problems at. Charles de Gaulle distribution centre... it does mean they will refund the shipping to TF who I'm sure will pass it on 8-). Apparently been a problem there since Friday...
So I'm one of the few who missed signing up for the project from the beginning, and someone advised here I contact Luigi, so I did and he confirmed that he can do a re-run if there are 5 interested people. So if there's any one here in the same boat like me, please let me know so we can coordinate with Luigi.
Here's the small list:
1. fleiter
2. 006
3. TSRGus (size 44)

Hi everyone
I'm one of the members who ordered a size down from my normal size.
I've just contacted Luigi with regards to this.
My jacket has been delivered but I won't be able to try in on until I fly home tomorrow.
Luigi has asked me to pass on this message:-
If any members wish to reorder (Second Jacket) in a different size he needs a minimum order of 5 jackets to allow a small batch production run.
I will find out if I need to request this when I try my jacket tomorrow.
If anybody else needs to do this ..... start making a list ...... and add your name ..... so if ness. we will know if we meet Luigi's minimum to allow production.

Me too - had a total MARE with FedEx due to CDG space issues (or lack of) on their aircraft and they couldnt tell me what was happening - my jacket has been in Milan, Paris CDG, New Delhi, Guangzhou and finally Hong Kong...some carbon footprint. I am a little worried about the size as everyone has said that downsizing would be best - am a TF suit 48 and I ordered a 48. Anyway, an amazing project and pleased to have been part of this, thank you Simon and everyone involved.
I have to say in retrospect I wish I had been one of the people that sized down. I will need to get my 48 tailored down. If I had ordered a 46 it might need little to NO tailoring. SO, for those that tailored down don't be surprised if you are exceedingly happy that you did. A lot depends on your body type.
Hi David, I'm a bit concerned after reading your post that I should've sized down from a size 48 too. Am I right in thinking that the Harrington's in this project are slightly bigger than the original run? Looking back through this thread you posted pics of you in the cream coloured Harrington which seemed a perfect fit.
I haven't had my Harrington delivered yet (Fed Ex said it was being delivered yesterday but hasn't arrived yet) but will wait and see. From what the other members are saying the jacket is amazing. Like everyone else, I was thrilled to be part of this project and hopefully, in due time, we can get other projects like this off the ground. I'm antipating getting the sleeves tailored but hoping that the rest of the jacket will be okay, however like you said it all depends on body type.

1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
If you mean California, yes, it is too hot for any jacket.
And thank you all for your words of comfort and support for our loss. It really means a lot.

The one you have looks incredible, are you down sizing?

Glad I went with a size 50. Has the same armpit to armpit, and waist measurement as the Y-3 size small.
Thanks again Simon!
Simon, many thanks for all your hard work and efforts! And thanks to all those who made this possible.
Glad it has arrived. Did you decide on a 50 or 52? Hows the fit?
If Bond can wear this jacket in the middle of a desert in Bolivia,
I think you can wear it in California. :007)
