Yes with the 50% off Im really tempted and given the rate of returns to Mr Porter I may even stand a chance of getting one now!
Jackets are no longer available : the waiting list is only for previous customers exchanging for size.
Mr Porter is not restocking the returned jackets.

You have to keep checking/refreshing the page. There is currently a M listed on the US site as "Only one left."
As far as differences in quality are concerned; I just had jackets from Peggs and Son and a Mr. Porter recently. The only difference was in the size and distressing (which varies on the whole). The Peggs and Son medium was very large and loose while the Mr. Porter medium was much smaller and true to size. The Peggs and Son jackets were much more distressed than the Porters as well.
I have to disagree with you on the distressing, as the Mr Porter one was far more distressed and felt inferior in quality
Im assuming Peggs and Porters are different batches, hence size differences ( they are made in Italy, after all!) but I think the distressing varies so much, obviously some from Peggs are very heavily distressed and some not so, and vice versa with individual jackets from Porters ( other distributors are available!). Im extremely pleased with mine ( from Porters) which FOR ME, has the right blend of distressing.
I just received a mr porter jacket in size medium. Very nice. Fits me well and I'm 41 inch chest. Arms a tad long but that's the style of this jacket I think.

Often bike oriented jackets are long in the sleeve, because that's the position you will be riding in (outstretched arms).
Perhaps that is the case with this jacket too.
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.
Just got my other medium from the US there is someone out there who likes to distress the hell out of these jackets! I am a 40 chest with broad shoulders and fit is just right the previous small I had although a svelt fit was too tight and short in retrospect.

We should start leaving notes in the pockets of our returned items to see whether they land in the hands of another board member. (Though I would assume a returns department would check the pockets.)
For all you medium owners, I see that 40-41" chest is the norm, is that tight or looser on you?
I'm a 44" chest w 20" shoulders, and wondering if a M would be way too tight. My L is def a looser fit, and the shoulders sit very wide.
I was looking for that snug leather jacket fit, and I think the way it's cut wide in the shoulders with the back pleats, a M may be the way to go. Unless you all think the M would lock me up.

I would stick with the large. I'm a 41.5 chest and if I was much bigger it would be too tight.
My Large has arrived much better fit - bit of room inside too breathe Arms just a tad long but its fits ok - the jacket looks cool. After 3 sizes and 3 returns Im pouring myself a large McCallan
Just got my Medium from Mr Porter, its been distressed so much that it looks a suede jacket!
Yep same with mine. I received mine medium today, and it fits like I expected it to based on the measurements. Its somewhat fitted, arms aren't baggy, and due to my long arms it hits me in the proper spot length wise. Overall, solid jacket. I will try to post some fit pics later. I feel it fits like Craigs on screen.

I think I prefer it, I wasn't sure at first but after comparing it a different one I think mine looks better, not as shiny as the others.
I'm same measurements.... I found the large too baggy around the middle. The m is a sung fit and will still zip up. I've included fit pic for reference

That looks like it fits great to me, although from the responses on here it seems like there's some inconsistency in sizing. I guess worse case scenario it's leather and should stretch some. Since it's snug on you, have you noticed it loosen up at all?
And how's the sleeve length? I wear a 34 in dress shirts. The L hits at my knuckles, so I'd definitely need to get it adjusted (which will be a pain because of the belted cuffs, guess they'll have to take from the shoulder?), but I'm hoping I could get by without it in the M.
Probably just plan to hold on to the L until I can try a M, then put whatever doesn't fit on eBay.
Now I'm debating if I should return the jacket to Mr Porter. Not sure I'm feeling it 100% after trying it on more for the fit, and length in the body. I have 14 days to decide, so I'll think about it. I think the earlier sizes from previous season runs were a bit longer in the body, which is what I would prefer.

They were only longer in the arms not the body

Has anyone found a way of making these jackets play ball. I have let mine hang for a while but the rear bellows still fail to hang correctly still forever laying it flat to try and flatten them out
Distressed look still growing on me

I am loving my Skyfall jacket so far! When the inevitable time comes to condition it, what would you all recommend doing? I don't want to make it darker or change that suede-like feeling. Thanks

I don't think Levi make specific models for different distributors ! Peggs may have an older model, that had sizing that better suited you.
