The more the merrier, please check the list on the first page to make sure you have not been missed!
If this goes ahead it will certainly, like the TF Morocco tie and C&J Molton's be a one time deal so do not sit on fence. Surprised at the number of people that have contacted me about both of those after the fact kicking themselves for not getting in on them.
If anyone owns this jacket and could post what size it is and what the measurements are such as shoulder to shoulder, bottom of collar to bottom of jacket, across the waist, armpit to armpit, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.
Since if this happens, it's a one time thing, so no exchanges for another size. Want to make sure we choose correctly.
Sleeve length: 64cm
Shoulder: 52cm
Pit to pit, when jacket laid flat: 55cm
Back length: 63cm
Back length, including collar up: 70cm
Waist when laid flat: 51cm
For the retail version, size 56 my TF Harrington measures:
Outer Sleeve length: 68.5cm / 27 inches
Shoulder seam to Shoulder Seam: 52cm / 20.5 inches (Blair - is your measurement correct? Yours same as my 56?)
Pit to pit, when jacket laid flat: 66cm / Approx 26 inches
Back length from bottom of collar seam: 64cm / Approx 25 inches
Back length, including collar up: 70.5cm / Approx 27.75 inches
Bottom hem length across when laid flat: 56cm / Approx 22 inches
DBS - what size is yours? EDIT: Doh! See yours is same size as Blairs.
Logic would estimate a 54 is in-between this 52 and 56 lol so *guess* the sizing would be in the middle of these e.g .... 19.5 /20" across shoulders / 26.75" Sleeve / Approx 24" pit to pit etc which would be perfect for me!!!!
I'm no mathematician, but as a rounded off average, assuming that there is consistency in Tom ford sizing, based on the accumulation of all those given measurements... (feel free to correct me) it seems there is the least amount of difference in the shoulder to shoulder and arm length and body length measurements as sizes get larger, ranging from (19 inches to 20.5 inches in the shoulder to shoulder) and (25 inches to 26.5 inches in the arm length) and (25 to 26.5 inches in the jacket length) which explains why this jacket is dubbed a "slim fit" now the main differences seem to be in the chest. So as an average I get this size chart for the chest measurements:
Im sure if this project goes ahead we will have asize asistance by TF. However if you have access to TF store it would be worth popping in to try a jacket on
If this does get a thumbs up I will be interested in more than one.
If that's true, then you should tell Simon to put you down for 2. He said the more the merrier, and I'm pretty sure the higher the count, the more likely it is TF will go through with the project. Simon said speak up now because this is a one time event. Once the door closes, that's that.
Obviously, make sure you can pull it off, but if you want to add more jackets to your order, nows the time.
I'll get the tape measure out again tomorrow, guys. I was measuring from sleeve top to sleeve top, not the bar across the upper back. But I'll remeasure and take photos so you know where I'm taking the measurements from.
It would seem we have no more takers on this jacket, I have submitted numbers to TF and will let everyone know as soon as I hear back - fingers crossed!
Do these kind of projects normally take this long to be green-lit? I'm beginning to think Tom ford is pulling our legs, perhaps as payback for the mantis's video and mockery of how their CEOs make decisions and about overly priced polo shirts.
The contact person at TF was on holiday. A delay is to be expected. Whether it's approved or not remains to be seen. Hopefully the numbers work for them.
We've seen photos of Mantis with Tom Ford since his videos, so I am sure it's not a consideration. Corporate entities move at their own often glacial pace.

LOL....really? I wasn't mocking them...I was critiquing certain aspects...and I have been back to the NYC store MANY times since that video and in fact they great me open armed. Believe me, I am a gnat on their radar vs. running a business (empire)....and in fashion you have to have a pretty thick skin to survive....

That's a ridiculous assertion. It's also unfair to David in my opinion.

Take this size 52 measurement accuracy with a pinch of salt (measurement from eBay seller)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOM-FORD-Mens-Leather-Trim-Baracuta-Jacket-42-/331869567020?hash=item4d44f7b82c%3Ag%3A3OsAAOSwR5dXTcy%7E&nma=true&si=BflqmVo1DfQMV8KEQP7dGUPA%252Bi4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Tag size is 52 or US 42
- 19" across the shoulder
- 26.5" sleeve
- 26" length
- 23" across the chest (armpit to armpit)
Logic would estimate a 54 is in-between this 52 and 56 lol so *guess* the sizing would be in the middle of these e.g .... 19.5 /20" across shoulders / 26.75" Sleeve / Approx 24" pit to pit etc which would be perfect for me!!!!
48= 21.5 inches
50= 22.5 inches
52= 23.5 inches
54= 24.5 inches
56= 25.5 inches
58= 26.5 inches
I hope this takes out some of the guess work, but obviously my formula is not full-proof. Just an educated guess.
