    Be aware these jackets are quite small - maybe consider a XXL if you haven't factored that in.

    It depends on how you want it to fit, but in your actual size it will likely be a form-showing clingier jacket. If you want it less tight because you may not have a Bond body for it to squeeze, then size up. This is what I have gathered from people talking, but I don't have it first hand so research more first.

    Weren't the jackets that adidas sold different than the one Craig wore? I believe they had strips on the cuffs and bottom of jacket. A good alternative is this T. Nash jacket. http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_094010470560_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EMen%7ECoats+%26amp%3B+jackets
    I just got one and it's not too bad.

    Not a bad alternative that! :) Shame it is 100% polyester though but the style is good.

    Don't know what experiences you guys have but I sized down from my usual large to a medium to get the right fit. Two others I know went from mediums to smalls. I wouldn't say it's oversized by any means, more true to size, but to get the slim screen fit sizing down works for most from what I've seen.

    Yes, the sleeves are very long. I just had the buttons moved to tighten up the cuffs as the extra length is welcome riding the motorcycle. A decent tailor or even a good seamstress can shorten the sleeves though.

    And no, there were no stripes on the cuffs or anywhere else. The only visual difference I see from the screen accurate jacket is the Y-3 logo on the back right shoulder which doesn't appear to be in the film.

    Logan's Closet is already making a repro of the jacket, after having studied an original. I assume from the pricing of their Smallville jackets that they will be nicely priced.

    Just pics of him wearing mine, but as good as he does without jackets in hand, I'm assuming this one will be perfect. Over at filmjackets one member said he'd already gotten one from Dan but we're still waiting for pics.

    This is Dan from Logan's Closet in my jacket.

    No kidding! If I didn't wear a 36" sleeve and ride a motorcycle, I'd have cut them down long ago. Why didn't you have yours altered?

    Actually a Harrington Jacket is designed to have the collar turned up AND also for the sleeves to be turned up once as well. When the sleeve end is turned up, your sleeve will now be the correct length for you arm.
    It's a style thing and that's THE Style of a Harrington Jacket.

    I e-mailed Logan's Closet about the jacket last week, but haven't heard back from anyone yet. By the way, I would go down 1 size on the Nash jacket if anyone gets one. Normally I wear a medium, but exchanged it for a small to get the same fit as the jacket in the film

    I heard back from him and got some pics and info. He sounds like a busy man!!!!!!

    Hmm strange, I changed a few emails with him and he is waiting on my sizes (can't find my tape measure) :)

    Try another email? I was quoted $190 and he sent me some pics of the jacket

    at what e-mail address to you contact him? Did he say what the lead time on the jacket would be?

    Thanks
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,320MI6 Agent
    I used the one on his website, didn't discuss lead time however he has already started making them as someone of the FilmJacket forum received one
