    Not so. I have an email in my inbox from Barbour UK customer service confirming this. The name of the jacket style will be 'commander' according to her

    This would be cool if this happens as I missed out on the Tokito.

    BTW found this online, a Barbour jacket already named Commander...

    Not far off, wouldn't take a tailor much to alter and you have the same jacket. probably cheaper too

    Not to be negative but I notice that they said "different version"

    That could really mean literally anything, diff colour, diff design etc like the other items which get reissued for a diff season.

    I would still try and hunt one down for retail price if you really want the SA

    so the commander that the guy posted above is already out. I saw the PDF from barbourbymail.co.uk, its listed at 200 quid.

    Looks like pre orders are gonna be taken for this new jacket, like at http://onwardreserve.com/clothing/commander-jacket

    ...this is gonna cause no end to the confusion of getting the right jacket.

    Yeah that is not SA at all. Strange they are even marketing it that way.

    Look up the barbour stock version of the jacket. If you're looking for an alternative, I think that it's better than the "commander" jacket above.

    im sorry guys but that jacket looks NOTHING like the bond one. I mean, they are two totally seperate jackets. Its as if a member here was trying to find a similiar budget alternative and even if this was that, I would still shoot it down. But to market it as a skyfall piece and then charge $750...wow, i just feel sorry for the chaps going to buy this..

    Yeah, you don't get all the cool 'special' features either-poacher pocket, detachable hood, etc, either....
  • CrwilsnCrwilsn Posts: 65MI6 Agent
    Anyone think barbour may be reusing the name of the old jacket for a new more SA one? Sites that want to do a preorder have nothing but the old commander jacket to go by so that is the picture they are using. I don't think Barbour is so deceptive as to put out a jacket that is not pretty close and promote the Bond connection.

    Hello guys,

    Has onyone got to the bottom of this yet?

    I have been trying to buy the jacket posted above but can not find it in stock anywhere on line (including Barbour by Mail). I phoned Barbour and gave the model name "Commander" and was called back after 2 hours and told that the jacket was not out yet and wont be released until early July (at "£400ish).

    I am pretty sure they are talking about the re-issue jacket and not the one labeld "Commander" above or am I wrong?

    (this is the one I want to buy http://www.lifetimetraining.co.uk/apprenticeships/view-all-apprenticeships/programmes/customer-service-l2/)

    Vandrell, what's the confusion? The Skyfall version of the Commander jacket is apparently part of the AW2013 collection so won't be available for months....
  • edmarriottedmarriott Posts: 23MI6 Agent
    Sorry, I meant SS2013

    It could be me confusing myself 8-)

    So the one in the picture IS of the re-issue they are going to be releasing?

    V, the link you posted doesnt work so I cant see what you are referring to.

    However, the Onward Reserve link a little higher up looks like what the jacket would look like with all the stuff taken off like they did in SF.

    THIS jacket is not on the barbour website so i dont know where they got their information from. I would just keep checking with Barbour to see whether they have a release date......

    Is this not the same jacket as discussed by Northshields on the Lodge Jacket thread? If so, it is supposed to be coming AW2013 - see post 1,556.

    http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/38733/skyfall-lodge-jacket/page/63/

    Part of the new Barbour Department (B) line apparently - see post 1,593

    Sorry my man, posted the wrong link!

    This is the jacket I was after:

    From what I can gather now I have had a more in depth google it has been discontinued. I was confused because when I phoned Barbour they must have been referring to the leaked one above. May just have to bite the bullet and go for that one now.
