Has anyone ordered the Skyfall pea coat from Baron Boutique? I ordered one yesterday and was curious to know what others think of it.
Raj from BB was most helpful in answering all of my inquiries and given that other BB products have received great reviews on here, I'm feeling confident in my decision.
However, I would still like to hear the opinion of fans who've purchased this coat (if there are any).
Once I receive my order I will post a review with pictures.
I tried Googling "David's royal peacoat" but couldn't find anything.
Search for:
Dan Love
Royale Film Wear
He's a member on this site and has posted so you can search for him also
I have his other two replica jackets from QoS and they are fantastic

Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
Hopefully my BB pea coat will be as nice as promised. However, I think I will order a pair of the Skyfall swim trunks from David.
Daniel C - I also am interested as to whether Baron is still reliable. I am usually quite wary of these types of sites and have only ever ordered from Royale. (Yes, I’ll also plug for Daniel Love as he does a fantastic job!) However, I am very intrigued by the Quantum suit.
Any feedback anyone has would be most welcome. James Boldman - your review in ‘13 was great. Anything more recent would be much appreciated.
Daniel C - which item are you considering?
I'd rather buy the Royale from Dan, but there are only large sizes left. I'm looking for a medium. I think anything bigger could be too big for my shoulders and hard for my tailor to fix.
(I realize the Royale is heavier, but it's a fair trade off given its lining and inner pocket)
He made me a replica of the CR light blue linen shirt PTS shirt and a dark navy one from CR the one and only ocean club scene.
Also made me the navy herringbone one from the end scene of skyfall , this was not advertised on his site but produced it brilliantly from emailed images.
Before he took any payment he sent me swatches to choose from FOC , outstanding service and reliable.
Not ordered anything now for 2 years , recommended
Thank you all for your feedback. I was initially concerned about the integrity of the site, but you have quelled my concerns. I look forward to receiving the final product.
In 2015, I purchased the Bond peacoat from Baron Boutique. While Raj was very professional and consistent with answering my emails, I was not satisfied with the overall product or dealing with BB.
The first thing that went wrong was the delivery service (TNT, I think). They made several "attempts" to deliver the package to me but were unable to locate my apartment for some reason. I recall on the day I was expecting it to arrive, I was sitting by the window keeping an eye out for them. I saw their truck enter my apartment complex, do a lap then leave. Apparently, they made several tries over the next few days to drop it off but again, were unable to do so.
When I still hadn't received my coat after several days, I called TNT directly and complained. The person I spoke with was very sympathetic and stated the issue would be rectified. Well, they still couldn't find my apartment, handed the package off to USPS and they finally delivered it.
As for the coat itself, while it is screen-accurate in features it's not well made. The fabric feels thin and not sturdy at all (a peacoat from Target has better feel). The front buttons have come loose and I debated on taking it to a local dry cleaner to have them repaired but have since just given up on the coat. The stitching for the inner lining also ripped in multiple places. I had that repaired once but decided not to bother with it after further tears.
Lastly and most importantly, the coat does a horrible job of keeping me warm. Honestly, I feel like I flushed $400 down the drain after dealing with them. I have recently decided to just save up for the real thing (unless someone can suggest a more cost-effective alternative).
I don't mean to sound like a troll as I post infrequently but I just had to share my experience after reading the praise for BB. I will try to post pictures within the next couple of days. And no, I didn't contact BB as I was put off by the whole delivery process. Maybe for a costume piece, it's a good idea but I can't suggest them for real-life winter wear.
That is some informative feedback! Most valuable!
The peacoat is only 14 oz so I'd assume it wouldn't be of much use if temperature gets below FP. Of course, if the quality of the wool is poor it's a quite different matter. What material did the inner lining consist of? By the way, horrible to hear about the stitching. Sounds like awful workmanship.
Reading this thread I was surprised of all the praise since people had reported mixed experiences on other fora.
Once again, thank you, Skyfell!
I received my Baron Boutique Quantum suit and couldn’t be more pleased. Raj was indeed s pleasure to work with and he was incredibly attentive to all of my concerns.
I wore the suit for the first time last night to a gala and received many compliments. I recommend Baron Boutique enthusiastically!!
Thank you all for the guidance!!
Has anyone purchased a Baron suit within recent years? I really want an Instanbul suit. I know someone posted a pic of their’s a while ago, I’d love to see any more pictures if anyone has them!
I bought both Skyfall suits from them when that movie came out. Both suits are fine, but I would highly recommend buying an Anthony Sinclair conduit cut suit from Mason & Sons. They quality is so much better. I wish I knew that before I bought replica suits from both Magnoli and Baron Boutique.
How accurate are they compared to the real Tom Ford?
