Ha - at least it is not the superduper sized pony that RL seem to plaster on stuff
Yes I know, it's awful isn't it? But that's the result when a company hands the reigns over to 'new blood'. The brand is marketed to the parvenus and is degraded overnight. Many people who used to wear RL now don't bother because it's obnoxiously plastered everywhere. A bit like Jack Wills, the university outfitter for pre-teens. 8-)
It's actually happening to Gieves & Hawkes as we speak, too.

Big Pony is a monster. So many cheap black teenagers at my high school somehow managed to have tons of those shirts. And those RL Rugby shirts too. For some reason it is a beloved trend specifically amongst blacks in my town. Well, actually the school is one town over and I have since graduated high school, but anyways, that was the trend there. White teenagers all bought American Eagle junk that I also avoid for its tacky spray paint graphics and logos. I know that is generalizing, but my point is modern teenagers like tacky-looking crap.
Maybe that is just my opinion since I was more inspired by what the Bond movies achieve while the rest of 'em seemed overly impressed by MTV and, well, each other
Thanks for the information on the Lands End jacket. I just ordered it in tan, I already have a black one from another company. It will look good on the links.
Bond: "But who would want to kill me, sir?"
M: "Jealous husbands, outraged chefs, humiliated tailors . . . the list is endless."
I think when I get paid I will plug for the river island one .... Forgot to mention I bought a navy blue harbour polo from marks and Spencer ... It's missing the pocket but apart frm that it's close .. Cost me £12
"some men are coming to kill us, we're going to kill them first"
How about those photos? I'd like to see them. I spoke with Indy, and he told me that he had corrected the length of the collar "tab" to make it longer (more accurate), and I was curious as to if the jacket had TWO inside pockets (I'd request that), and if the zipper could be made to match (both the same).
roi, I agree with Martin. I'm looking into the Magnoli jacket for next year - it looks exactly how I want it to look. I didn't get to the Land's End jacket in time for the clearance special, otherwise I MIGHT have settled for it.
Glad you finally got it, the Ben Sherman is nice. You and me are in the same boat, we've just bought our Harringtons but can't wear them until at least the Spring, pesky Winter!

Haha, pony. I dyed mine blue using a q-tip, hardly noticeable now. -{

Looks like I know what I'm asking for NEXT Christmas!
Bond on a Budget
Yeah I agree!! I had the real thing but too small. Looks like Magnoli is my next call

Cant remember if it had 2 inside pockets - I think only one but could be mistaken!!
Interesting about Indy revising - would pull the trigger on one but not sure if material is similar enough for my liking!

That looks great - pity its clearance and only size S
I didn't forget my friend
Here are my pics of the Tom Ford Harrington: http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/kultschar/TF%20Harrington/
I wonder where the Tom Ford factory is here in Italy! Wonder if I could get an "irregular" for cheap!

The quality is superb even though it has elasticated sleaves.

Looked at this one first.
