Just a heads up if anyone wants one of these they are now going for 50% off on Mr Porter.

Too bad it's not the screen accurate version and sizes are limited BUT it's a hell of a price!
Hopefully you keep one of them as that's the best price I've seen! Keep in mind this version runs a size smaller than the screen used version.
Maybe worth trying before they are gone! whats to lose...yu can always return as postage and returns are free.

Only sizes 46 and 48 are available.
Well the US price would have been $2138.50/£1635! Also keep in mind that VAT would be taken off which is around 12% off the price then duties and s/h. I'm thinking it would have been just under $1100 total.
Mike, thanks for the information. That's about exactly the amount I was prepared to pay! Now I feel even worse! Lol. Oh well. All the best my friend!
VAT is off and shipping is free!!!
VAT is not removed until you add the item to the cart. Whenever I made purchases from MrPorter they always give me free shipping on regular priced items but sale items they always hit me for £30 s/h when shipping to the states.
Don't feel too bad, the one on MrPorter was the navy wool one, so it wasn't the screen accurate TF one anyway...well that being said, even TF's SA one isn't actually SA...but yeah, the one on sale wasn't TF's "close enough to SA" one.
Well I think the only difference I've seen is that the current Solden jacket had blue wool and based on the size chart it runs small.
Yes I believe the screen-used ones used grey wool (instead of blue for the newer version) but anyway, the jackets TF sold after the movie were not accurate because the pockets were shorter than screen-used ones !!!
Correct me if I'm wrong....
Correct the pockets are different on the screen used jacket.
Are you sure the size chart runs small?
According to MrPorter the newer version is a trimmer fit. The 1st image is the sizing chart for the current color wave and the 2nd one is for the Spectre version. For a point of reference based on chest measurements I should have been a 54 in the Spectre version but it was actually too big. I've tried and owned a 52 for a while and it was perfect! If you look at the new color wave I would need to size up to a 54 MAYBE a 56
I have the same measurements as the Porter model...
I have ordered a size IT48, which is my size with TF.
I hope it will not be too small.
Thank you for the kind proposition -{
I also got mine in size 52 a while back and it fits me perfectly, however the sleeves are a bit long. Did you notice any huge difference between 52 and 54?
I have long arms for my height so the sleeves didn't really bother me on the 52 but they could be a hair shorter. The 54 overall fit but it was ultimately too big overall for my liking and the sleeves were too long.
Can you please measure the chest on both?
Thank you.
