oi polloi has a new one for S/S 09 that is made from the same waxed cotton as Barbour jackets on their website, I think it was added today

How do I find it? Going to the flash site, select mens, then jackets, and I see a page with 6 jackets. None of them are harringtons... the first couple are harrington'esque (one black, one grey). Flip to page 2, see two more jackets, a black and red, same deal.

Is there someplace on the website I'm missing?

I've got brand new italian Mario Matteo jacket from YOOX, never worn - it feels like one size small for me, and I've missed the return time. The quality is awesome and I like the sleeve openings more than in classic harringtons. I'm 6" and 175lbs with 40" chest. I think 5"9' - 6", 36-38 chested guys will fit well into it. PM me, if interested.

Just picked up the Baracuta G4 slimfit. I can't rave more above the fit.

It has side-tabs at the waist instead of elastic at the hips. Also, cuff tabs at the wrists, instead of elastic. Nice and slim fitting. The lack of elastic makes for a more streamlined look.

Oi Polloi has the measurements, if anyone is interested:

size\tpit to pit\tback\tarm
36"\t20.5"\t27.0"\t20.0"
38"\t21.5"\t28.0"\t20.0"
40"\t22.5"\t28.0"\t20.0"
42"\t23.0"\t28.0"\t20.0"
44"\t24.0"\t28.5"\t20.0"​

I was at an H&M today here in California and saw two G9-like jackets, one in black and the other in grey. Both had a grey plaid lining. It's rather slim-fit, more so than my JTG jackets. Unfortunately, quality is really pretty low, cloth is different (inferior and wrinkles easily) from a normal G9, and the plaid is not red Fraser. But it's close enough in most details to a Harrington copy that I figured I'd go ahead and mention it here, especially since the price is less than $35. Sorry, no pics.

I don't believe my JtG Harrington's are treated. Water does bead up a bit in a light drizzle but I haven't tried taking it further, choosing to take an umbrella and/or raincoat.
