Mantis- when you receive the prototype, be sure to inspect the zipper. I'm pretty sure the movie jacket had a hidden zipper (like the y-3) and not an exposed zip.
Yeah, that's what it should look like.
The zipper in the picture of the prototype looks
a little more like the John varvatos in the sense
that the zipper doesn't appear to be completely hidden.
Probably won't know till it's in hand.
I think it will be safe to say that they won't give the green light to TF until they are 100% happy... with MeestaBawnd owning a Screen used one, and David Z having the white cream version made for DC but not used, along with the fanatical attention to detail that Simon and the rest of this motley crew have, it will be spot on.... I'm just jealous i don't have the $$$ at the mo
I also owned a navy screen used one and have copious pictures of every detail...sorry we have been a bit quiet this week, but Simon and I have both been obliterated by work etc....that being said when we post pictures and video I believe there will be a renewed level of excitement around this project. In the meantime, look at the size of the box the harrington came in! Talk about treating it well.

OK, here it is...The Tom Ford Quantum of Solace Harrington Project Vlog (now that's a mouthful) is now up! And to fully make you go rabid here are some pictures of the prototype....drooling is allowed.
Great as ever Mr Z
Just annoyed the hell out of Mrs R playing it twice in bed (nearly midnight here)...
Just one thought, do we think this (pic attached) looks more fitted than when meeting Felix? Looks kinda loose fitting to me, which would work in the real world for me....
Ive always felt it was "looser" fitting in every scene, similar fit say to the cardigan when meeting Mathis (which I have in a 52)...
This is a (another) big purchase for me and sizing / getting it SA is my biggest fear, especially after the size chart seemed so odd...
I trust you guys (Simon, DZ and Blair) will truly deliver the detail tho, big thanks gents..... Just awesome
I have a question about payment, which has me hesitant,
and perhaps there are some like me.
What happens if you get 50 confirmed emails, start taking
payments, but not everyone pays, and you don't have 50
orders total? What happens to the payments that are already
processed? I'm assuming those people won't get jackets
if the order total is below 50...
7007, Tom Ford is an international empire that will not take "your money and run"....if you are concerned you won't get your money back from a company of this size and reputation then perhaps you shouldn't embark on this journey.
I have to say this is my favourite Bond jacket from the Craig era and after seeing this video and the closeup pics, I'm even more impressed with my Royale Harrington.
Happy for everyone that's in on this project. -{

It feels VERY durable...the material is soft, but not flimsy. It will take the wear and tear of every day use and then some. Also, the zippers and buttons and details are robust and would stand the test of time and use.
I have a brown retail TF harrington, in addition to the SU one, and I wear it all the time. It is my go-to jacket for everyday use. It still looks as fresh as a daisy after 6 years or so on, and the quality is amazing.
Did I say anything about being concerned that Tom ford would take my money and run? I'm not an idiot. I know they would refund everyone but that still sucks. Because you do realize that even some of those who have "confirmed" their orders will drop out. So in reality you most likely need about 60 "confirmed" orders for it to happen. You can act snobby if you like David. I have thick skin, but you certainly are not helping your list grow with an elitist attitude.
7007, your last post was offensive you should apologise. If you knew the answer then why ask the question? I certainly did not think David's reply was snobby in any way nor is he being elitist by dedicating his time to grow the list. Your 12 posts to date have not been the most helpful.

I don't have you on the list, please PM me with your full name, email and location.
Only 2 away!
I hope Meesta Bawnd is okay with me reposting one of his photos from another thread.

Good spot!
I am really looking forward to your video, David. Will we get an epic unboxing?
Excessive yet impressive.
Thanks Welshboy, I try.

Great video David
Looking amazing! Great work Simon and everyone who has helped on the project to date. {[]
I've got my money ready for when we hit the magic 50!

1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
All set with payment. I do trust all sizing issues and construction details will be worked out.
Let us know when you have a chance to measure
the 48 David. Thanks.
PS - glad I was wrong about the zipper!
and perhaps there are some like me.

You do realise this is not the first TF project that has been done via this fine forum?
The last project required a large number also etc. Its nothing new to most people here and worked fine.
(I'm kicking myself for requesting off the list a month or so ago)
Props to you guys for getting the job done!
Write to Simon and try to get back on the list if you so choose.
