Could you tell me a little about the fit? Slim, baggy or somewhere in between?

And what about general finishing and quality - is it the high quality garment the price would suggest it to be?

I've looked at their wares a few times myself, but the lack of measurements and any real details have so far put me off. Of course, hearing that they don't reply to inquiries doesn't help either...

I don't have a history with Harrington-style jackets but to me the fit is really good, not too blousy, not model tight. I think the price is high but worth it, I know there are some other brands that are built in the UK as well, but what also appeals to me is the quality of materials and the manner in which they are assembled. Haven't noticed any loose threads, they use real horn buttons, there's good quality satin lining the arms, real wool cuffs, waist band and collar lining. One big thing for me is the Grenfell cloth itself; I've had a few jackets using this cotton over the years and it's water resistance, though good, is not the main reason I love it so much, it's more the way it ages.
I ordered it from https://franzundemil.com/ because reasons...

Thanks a lot, that's extremely useful!

Thanks too for the link, although they don't seem to carry any of the Grenfell items I'm after. I'm not actually interested in the Harrington, but rather their golf jackets and trench coats. However, I see there's a number of other tempting things there...
