How did you find this out Cedric? It's not on their website... Do you know if I could preorder a small?
Dear Customer,
As you know, Levi's Vintage Clothing, the specialty brand of Levi Strauss & Co. and the creators of the "1930s Distressed Brown Menlo Jacket" worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall, reissued a very small batch of these "James Bond" jackets at the film's release. All have completely sold-out worldwide.
Due to the overwhelming demand, we've spoken to Levi's and asked if they would reissue a special, private batch for us limited to 30 pieces (sized S-XL). Levi's has never done before this but they agreed in this instance. However, as this is a very special order exclusively for Bench & Loom customers it would be a pre-order secured by a non-refundable deposit. Here are the details:
Pre-order secured by deposit
Non-refundable deposit of $450 billed when order is placed
Balance of $450 due at time of shipping
Jackets are handmade in Italy; Shipping could be as early as February or as late as March
Shipping is free only in the continental US; international shipping $50
Orders cancelled before delivery will be non-refundable
Jackets may be returned for store credit only
Please let us know at your earliest convenience if this is something that you would like to do as we currently have approx. 40 people on our wait list. Once we have confirmation from the first 30 people we will confirm with LVC and then contact you for order placement.
Kind regards,
Bench & Loom
Try to contact them at general@benchandloom.com and ask if they can add you to the waiting list. But honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if pegs and sons or unionmade come up with a re-issue aswell.
i would really like to pre-order a size small but i already bought the barbour jacket, the acne pants and the smedley sweater this month and my credit card billing cycle doesn't end until dec. 9th. if there's anyone here willing to pre-order this on my behalf i would really really appreciate that!! i could paypal the 450$ to you as soon as dec. 10.
i know this is kind of last minute seeing as the pre-order ends in a couple of hours but it would really mean a lot to me.
It's nice to have this as an option for those who haven't been able to obtain one, but for that price, one could be patient and watch the secondary market and pick the actual jacket up for that cost. There was a Large on filmjackets that was sold for $700.
Has anyone ever bought from celebswear or Hollywood jackets etc. they seem to have decent looking replicas of other film jackets for around $200.
Btw, I would buy a real one if I could but having the build of a football player does not lend itself to small European sizing that most of Bond's wardrobe seems to favor.

Magnoli said he'll be offering his in early 2013 for $695
True but it depends on what size you need and how the jacket is cut. I would need a XL, XL long or XXL for my size, 6'4", 235 lbs and long arms.
I have an original issue in XL and the arms are too long and a fair bit of room left all round, im a 43" chest and 210lbs so a XL might be fine for you if you can find an original.
Guys, I discovered this site a little while ago and it is a great resource. I was hoping someone could help me. I am looking to buy the Levi's Vintage Leather jacket in Skyfall, but don't know what size I am.
I am 6'4'', 205 llbs and a 36-38 waist. I can't decide if I should go with the large or the XL.
this is going to sound strange but is there any of this jacket available im in the states and really like the jacket and would take it in the black model if anyone could find this jacket for around $200 to $300 could you let me know please

I'd take a couple of black ones at that price but it ain't gonna happen even the black ones in the states are selling on eBay for over 900 dollars

Like the Barbour jacket they have jumped up to crazy money, before it was known they were in bond mr porter was selling them off for 188 pounds in the sale

Yeah, I am hoping I will have the ability to return for an XL if I need to. I really didn't want to be swimming in the jacket. I think it should have a bit of a fitted feel.
I'm going to order a large from bench and loom. I'm 6/3 215 with 44 chest 34 waist. Do you guys think the large will fit. It's a big investment and I'm not keen yo get it wrong!

I'm there with you jimbo. None of this stuff seems to fit guys like us.

Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks so much!

Any one try one of these or one from moviejackets.com yet? They look a little different due to the color but some distressing should fix that.
Very tempting as there is no way I'm going to find a real one that fits my build (46 inch chest).
your best bet, is to look on ebay,, type in Vintage Horsehide jacket,,
lots that are similar to levi
how about this......

people will post to other countries..
I sound the same as you stat wise, I have a XL and although I love it, felt there was too much room hence I now have a Large coming to try
Thanks for all your replies to me by the way.
