I hope Craig doesnt mind me using his ad, but I gave it a shot and hoped my arms would shorten by the time his jacket arrived, but I will have to admit failure. I am still too lanky. 
Therefore it is up for resale in the hope someone else has better luck!

DBS wrote:I recently purchased and received my Magnoli Quantum jacket which, as most of you know, is Tony's version of the Tom Ford Harrington jacket from the Perla de las Dunas sequence in "Quantum of Solace." I haven't seen many photos of it on here, nor have I heard much feedback from those who have purchased one, so I thought I'd weigh in on it and post some photos. In my opinion, it's a fantastic jacket and a spot on match for the screen-used version. Tony did a great job matching the color, as well - it's a close comparison when held next to a swatch of the screen-used fabric. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing or trying on a TF in person, but as a stand-alone jacket, this item delivers. At 1/8th of the price, it's a steal! It has two inner pockets - the left inner pocket has a zipper closure, while the right inner pocket is open. I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight this jacket is too. The cotton twill material seems very durable, and the satin liner keeps the inside cool. I live in Los Angeles, so the last thing I need is a heavyweight wool jacket. For me, this is the perfect all-season jacket.
I spent quite a bit of time watching the sequence from the film and studying screen grabs and behind-the-scenes photos in order to assertain measurements that would give me a screen-accurate fit. It's definitely a slim-fit jacket, as the Harrington-style jacket is supposed to be. The best way for me to determine the measurements (as Tony also suggests) was to measure a similar-fitting jacket and adjust those measurements for this jacket. I was thrilled with the end results. I had only one issue with the fit - it's a tiny bit snug in the chest area (when I cross my arms) as I've been hitting the gym a bit more, anticipating the holidays right around the corner. I've decided to make some adjustments to my initial measurements and will be ordering another jacket, so I'm offering this one for sale here. Now for some photos -
If you're interested in purchasing this jacket, I'm asking $250 for it, which is $100 less than the retail price. The jacket is brand new as I just received it on Wednesday last week. I only tried it on inside and snapped these photos in it. I am a 40Reg for suit and jacket sizes. This jacket would be ideal for someone closer to a 38Reg. Here are the exact jacket measurements (with the jacket laying flat):
Chest - 22 inches
Front Length - 24 inches
Back Length - 23.5 inches
Sleeve Length - 23 inches
Bottom Width (length across the bottom of the jacket) - 19.5 inches
Sleeve Opening - 4.5 inches
Armhole - 10 inches
Full Shoulder (across the back) - 19.5 inches
Please PM me with any additional questions.
Kind regards,
Craig
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.

It's not actually me in the pictures, so im not sure my sizes would help guage much for you? The photos above are quoted from DBS' earlier advert on here http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/34185/magnoli-quantum-jacket-review/ . I bought the jacket from him in the hope it would fit, but I have a need for 25" arms.
Chest wise etc is fine, as I'm 40" chest. 2.54cm to the inch means the jacket sizes in cm are.
Chest - 22 inches 55.88cm
Front Length - 24 inches 60.96
Back Length - 23.5 inches 59.69
Sleeve Length - 23 inches 58.42
Bottom Width (length across the bottom of the jacket) - 19.5 inches 49.53
Sleeve Opening - 4.5 inches 11.43
Armhole - 10 inches 25.40
Full Shoulder (across the back) - 19.5 inches 49.53
Hope that helps.
