I believe I found and waited to long on the CR Armani jacket.

Stupid me.

I messaged customer service telling them to alert me if it comes back for whatever reason.

Anyone else come across this jacket ever?

    Its funny, I was idly looking for some stuff and decided to check if they would have this jacket (thinking no chance in hell) and there it was.

    I then thought this was too good to be true and spent 15-20min looking at photos of the one from the film and comparing this one and it sold X-(

    If it does come back I will check if my tailor can bring it to my size, if not I will release it into the AJB007 wild. Should be about Paul's size anyway.

    Brilliant! So pleased for you. Does it fit?!
  • Westward_DriftWestward_Drift Posts: 3,091MI6 Agent
    About time it arrived.

    Right thrilled for you. Pity the poor bugger who called dibs. :D :))
  • nafets47nafets47 FloridaPosts: 939MI6 Agent
    Yes Paul, what do we have? Perhaps some Ted Bakers?
  • 007JBDCMWR007JBDCMWR Posts: 2,516MI6 Agent
    That was a wait Paul. But watching the parcel track for the last few weeks was exciting for those of us who knew
    So glad it went to you and dibs second wasnt needed.
    Way too short for lanky Steve :))
    True find for a true fan

    Cheers guys!!! Thankfully this one fits this time!!!

    After the first one (size 54) was rather tight etc I thought my chance for this jacket was over and I was not sure if a size 56 even existed!!

    Here are some quick (poor) pics, excuse the dirty mirror, I must discipline my butler!

    Non-related technical question: how did you change the thread title? I looked in the FAQs a while ago and couldn't find any info.

    Back on topic: congrats Welshboy!!

    I was very lucky!! Told a few guys here the story!

    In a nutshell on the 27th December I was off to the cinema and my mate was late picking me up. I was waiting on the curb outside my house for him to turn up etc so being bored I whacked out my phone and surfed the net and boom there was the jacket!!! I rushed inside to fire up the laptop and dig out the credit card and ended up being late for the movie :D

    So glad my mate was late otherwise I prob would have missed it
