Probably been done to death but is the Royale Harrington and the Baracuta G4 the best alternatives to the TF or are there any others?
Yes. Considerably!

Really glad I saw your post. I've been interested in the cream jacket he's doing. I didn't know he was doing another navy as well. Just shot him a message to confirm I'm still on the mailing list as I haven't gotten any emails since March when he was unsure about the cream going ahead.

I've looked at the sizing chart of the last run to get an idea and am agonizing over the small or medium.
To OP, Magnoli also does a replica, but it is more expensive than the Royale and it doesn't look as accurate. From pics it seems the pockets are off. It's probably best to wait for Royale to release the new version.
Thanks Big Z...
Having been knee capped with production a few months ago... I was looking at the beige version (I especially like the new fit) and as time passed I decided... you know what, I think I may just be crazy enough to do another run of the these dark navy bad boys haha... (Always getting harrington emails haha) The new version will have a tad more length than the 2019 version, just enough and we are pitching the collar forward slightly so the top of the collar will nestle just under the chin, you'll see that in the beige harrington photos of the sample on the store. It's a small detail that escaped me, but I wouldn't forgive myself for not improving on it if I could. I don't think they'll take too long to produce, my manufacturer knows the drill with these ) ) )

Also, just to reiterate as mentioned on the store, this beige harrington sample is an XL, so not the best fit in the photos as I'm basically always a Large... the fit in the right size will be pretty slick. The photos are me trying to make it look like it fits properly )

Loving the new colour it’s on my list for sure!
Just a question on sizing back in the day (maybe version 1) I grabbed a Navy Medium, with all the changes made over the years would you say stick with that or downsize for the new version?
For the Haiti was a small in the end having tried both S and M.
Cheers :007)
I've thought a lot about it... it's a great jacket, goes with everything. I think if I did it would be a pretty restricted run, I do know there is a Y-3 original project underway, but not sure how that's really progressing for everyone. I wouldn't rule out doing it again but it would likely be a fairly limited run.

Very hard for me to say Bond44, sizing has changed so much over time especially with the harringtons. Unfortunately, I don't even have the originals anymore for comparison, they went back to my manufacturer butchered with changes haha... I paint in broad strokes and he pulls it together for me, he's the real genius of this operation ) As always, I highly recommend to measure up your best fitting jacket and compare with the specs given in the table it is really the best way to go. I can't really make a sizing suggestion until I have the final product in hand just in case there's a curve ball... (there's usually a curve ball) but rest assured I'll have the most accurate sizing table I can produce, once I receive them. :007)

I would be totally in, would it be a help for you if we make a list of people who are interested in one of these?

Hi Dan. I was wondering if you may have an idea on when the Harringtons will go on sale. Just curious
Also I would also be interested in a Y-3 if you do another run.
I am pumped! I've been looking at the sizes and am probably getting both in a small. So no one buy a small until I say so
Can't decide between the beige that is beautifull or the screen accurate navy one. I'm leaning on the navy.
?? When they’re listed for sale they’re in stock. Dan doesn’t do preorders or backorders for things.
Having briefly owned the Tom Ford version (with leather accents) in light beige it is a beauty. I already have a beige Baracuta G9, so I don't need it. I wonder how much willpower I will have this weekend?
I tried to reason with my self as well but i gave in. )
hopefully its going to be in stock before the harrington is sold out
there is a beige TF Harrington on ebay at this moment

Anyway, both the navy and beige are amazing. I'm glad I went with the small. They fit me pretty well and there's room to bulk up. The cotton feels great. All my previous jackets that fit in the fall/spring category have been polyester or some kind of mix so this is a nice change.
Attention to detail is pretty good. The stitching is good overall. Some sloppiness here and there, but it's mostly on the inside so not noticeable. The sloppy stitching on the outside is minimal and I only noticed it cause I went over them closely. In reality no one will notice and I will probably forget about it.
Dan did a fantastic job. I'm eagerly looking forward to the run of the Haiti jacket next year -{
Edit: Adding for reference on sizing. I'm 5'7", 130-135 lbs, about 36 in chest and 31 in waist. Like Greg137 said below, the sleeves are also a smidge long on mine, but using the second button stops it from falling over my hands so I won't be changing anything there. The overall jacket length is good too. When Dan said he lengthened them on this run I was a bit worried since I'm on the shorter side, but the length is perfect.
