SOLD: NTTD Connolly Linen Cotton Giubbino Jacket (Large)

I purchased this jacket in size Large over the winter when Connolly announced it would be doing a "limited" run. I wore it half a dozen times before I realized I needed to go up a size to an Extra Large.
I'm offering the Large for sale for $400 USD (net to me) plus shipping. It is in like-new condition and includes the unused garment bag (no extra set of buttons, sorry; Connolly never sent them). This jacket is currently sold out on Connolly's website but retailed for $575 or £490 if you had to pay the VAT.
The sizing on these jackets is deceptive and hard to determine based upon Connolly's own size chart. For reference I have a 43" chest, am 6' tall, and weigh 190 pounds. I could continue to wear this jacket (more as an overshirt) but preferred a more screen accurate look so upsized. These are the measurements I have taken for this jacket:
Chest: 22.5" pit to pit
Shoulder: 17" (this is the deceptive part as I take 19" in suits and this is fine on me as the design is soft sloping)
Sleeve: 24.5" (sleeves are longish, Bond cuffs his in NTTD)
Length form bottom of collar to hem: 25"
I believe this jacket would best fit someone shorter than me with a 40" chest (or thereabouts). In other words if you usually wear a Medium in anything else this is probably the size you want.
There are plenty of alternatives out there (I owned the Mango) but none of them I've seen manages to capture the luxe quality of the cotton linen fabric The color can vary depending on the light to what you see in my pictures to a brighter blue as seen in the movie,. It's really a beautiful jacket, perfect for warm evenings, and yes, I wish it had gotten more screen time, too. Feel free to message me with questions or for more pics. I have done sales here before and also on eBay as Cheverian where I have a 100% rating.

I have the same jacket from the current run. I guess they no longer offer the garment cover. Mine came wrapped in paper, no cover. Love the jacket.
It’s one of those pieces that needs to be worn to be appreciated. It gets noticed for the right reasons.
I had to pester Connolly for the garment bag an the SA buttons.
And sold! Thanks, AJB. Mods, please close.
