Was just in Rogersons Fine Footwear. Bought the Islays! The brown leather ones are labelled as Harry in-store, and the Islay is the same shoe in a roughed out/weathered suede. The latter is possible the one used in the movie!
By the way, the shoes are a good 100 pounds cheaper from Rogerson! So if you're lookinf for one in the UK, I would suggest that place.
Can you explain a bit more mate, don't quite follow
Basically, Rogersons order massive amounts from C&J. I've been told that they request changes in shoes, so they have models that you don't find in the standard line, and they have different names.
Fo example, I just bought a pair of Islays. But on the inside of the boot, it says Harry. You can get the same shoe in a different finish (the roughed out suede) and on the inside it'll say Islay.
Hi
These seem like a great find at Rogerson's - thanks for sharing!
Can I ask if the actual shape of the Rogerson's Harry shoe is any different to the C&J version? They both seem to have the same scotch grain leather and dainite rubber soles but I'm not sure about the shape/last?
Also, are they waterproof?
Many thanks

No problem. I tried on both the Islay and the Harry. The Harry is on a different last, but I couldn't really feel a difference in the hosrt time I tried them on. The Harry is on the 228 last, while the Islay is on the 365 last. I'm sure if we emailed C&J they'd clarify the differences between the lasts.

Thank you for your enquiry through our website and your interest in Crockett & Jones.
The boots which we supplied for Skyfall were 'Islay ' in Dark Brown Scotch Grain. These are made on the 365 last. This is a calf leather so it is not waterproof but it does have a storm welt and Dainite studded rubber soles which should help in wet conditions. The Harry boot is a style which we make for our customer 'Thomas Rogerson' in Scotland. This is very similar but is made on the 228 last. This would only be available from Rogerson's shops in Scotland.
We do also make a version of the Islay boot in Bronze Oiled leather for our retail shops. This is a heavy, waxy side leather which would be more water resistant. This also has a heavier Ridgeway rubber sole and storm welt which also makes it more waterproof. It is a more rugged version I would say. This is not a calf leather and doenst require as much finishing/polishing as the scotch grain calf leather which is why there is a difference in the price.

Are the suits DC wears in skyfall all have similar cuts to them? Basing on pics they all look the same except the color/fabrics used.
I believe they're all Tom Ford's "Falconer" cut/model, but don't take my word for it.
Sorry if this has been discussed, but has there been any explanation of the difference(s) between the alleged Falconer suits used in the film and the O'Connor suits being sold as the Skyfall Bond suit by Tom Ford? Is the difference just that the Falconer jackets have 3 button 2 fronts and the O'Connors 2 button fronts?
Last, can anyone confirm the colours of the previously unseen dark suit in the "Word" and "With Pleasure" TV spots? It appears to be solid navy with either a really pale blue or grey shirt and a darker grey tie.

I wouldn't really call the suits in Skyfall 3-button-2 since the lapel doesn't roll to the middle button, it just rolls over the top button, as most full canvas suits will. The Quantum of Solace suits are 3-button-2.
I heard from someone who saw the film that the other suit is navy, but I have yet to look at the television spots.

D'oh! I really should have noticed that. I really don't understand why they went for the 3 button look in Skyfall. As photos of Craig at a recent photo call in New York have shown, better fit aside, 2 button suits seem more flattering to his muscular physique as they were for Connery.
Bought the Highburys today in London and a Sunspel Riviera. Can tell Bond fever is about, both shops asked me if I was aware of the 007 connection (I of course said No) (:
Also had a good look at the smashed up Land Rover in Harrods!!

I was in Milano yesterday and of course I paid a visit to the Tom Ford flagship store. A very polite shop attendant, Emanuele, show me all Skyfall clothes, suites, coats and, of course the ties. If I am not wrong they used 6 or 7 different ties.
So far I took one but soon I will take few more. Besides this I found also the John Lobb Romsey ankle boots with the 35% of discount. It is since the release of CR that I am chasing them...

Can you tell how many suits they using in skyfall?
Unfortunately, none of the ties being sold as 'James Bond' ones have been seen in any of the Skyfall screen shots so far.
+1. The suits they are selling as Skyfall suits are also incorrect, since they button two and not three like in the film. It seems like they don't want the average man to be able to dress exactly like James Bond.

But they're under a different name, because they're a different last.
Rogersons have other finishes that C&J don't offer.

True! But the one's at Rogersons were brown suede and not bronze. http://www.rogersonshoes.com/men_smart2.html

ASOS were doing a light blue. I had a quick look and this is as close to the OB as I could find with the right sort of back pocket

The Islays are cool but prefer the other version (lighter)

I hear it's out of fear of potential over population.
