Hi, The Mango jacket was a great find. It was my contact at Aston Martin who clocked the jacket. I have also bought the Mango jacket 30% off with code 5BLACK4 bargain!
I popped back to Tom Ford this morning, and took a few photos of the jacket without the shearling collar on:
And also went into Mango to check out their version, which, I must say, for £59.99 is an absolute steal:
For the record, the Mango jacket was a size medium, and fitted well. I'm normally a 48 in Tom Ford, a medium in the Barbour, and a medium in the Levi's Menlo.
Oh the folks in TF London took the pics! They love the whole Bond thing. I was in today to pick up my QoS suit, altered for the 2nd time, and they gave me a free atomiser for my Tuscan Leather EDT display as my old one was knackered (I lnow, the diamond shoes are pinching). They could not have been more accommodating. I did hear a rumour that this next film could be DC's last, and if so, the TF link would be severed. I thought that DC had signed up for at least 1 or 2 more. Any comments, guys? Also, the bomber jacket has sold out. At least here in the UK. No more news on TF wardrobe, unfortunately.

Over and out.

He signed up for two more after Skyfall, so I'd be surprised if this was the last TF collaboration (unless another company is lobbying hard to take over - e.g. Brioni, Gucci, Boss, etc...).
I also heard he had signed up for two more after Skyfall etc however I guess nowadays that means nothing and I guess nothing confirmed by EON themselves.
"MI6 is confirming the new contract for Craig, but points out there’s a precedent for Bond actors dropping their commitment early – as happened with both Connery and Timothy Dalton. Moreover, EON Productions heads are said to have enjoyed the non-aggressive production timeline for the 23rd Bond film, resulting from a prolonged break between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall (as a result of MGM’s financial woes). That could mean the studio will be less inclined to adhere to a rigid two-year break between installments from hereon out – and, if an extended delay were to occur, it could encourage Craig to walk away prematurely after just one more Bond film."
Absolutely agree with you, particularly the grey shawl cardigan photo.
In the 4 x photos that 007 and a half has posted above, I see nothing wrong with what he's wearing in the 1st & 3rd photos either tbh?! Then again we all have different tastes & styles we like.
I am only referring to his dress sense & general attire ... not whether he facially looks like he's had a solid night on the booze etc. DC seems to cop a fair bit of stick regarding his looks, which personally I find a tad tiresome to read, but hey ho I guess.

I think this a look for this season as I've recently seen a couple of other similar items recently. Someone likely showed something at a fashion show and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

Yeah I agree.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he often dresses 'poorly' in the hopes that he won't get noticed in public, but can't find a source on that at the moment.
I think like most of us, he just has days where he wakes up and only feels like throwing on a random assortment of things, with mixed results. It's called being human for christ sake. Judging his ability to dress as a whole based on selected unflattering photos is rather daft.
I bought the Mango Jacket. It was $60.00 US shipped and I must say it is worth every penny's! Great craftsmanship and the fit is great (size L, 5-11 200lbs.). Whether or not that Danny wears it in the movie it is still a great find.......
Just as an fyi, some of Tom Ford's outerwear is made by Lardini. So you might want to check them out to see if they have their own branded outerwear (much cheaper than TF).
Then again they are prob out every winter, nobody pays attention since not Bond until now

Just a heads up for anyone going for the Mango version , mine arrived but was quite surprised on the fit.
It states a Medium is a 41" chest which is my size , too tight.
Gone for a large , pics to follow when exchange arrives.
Any of you guys going for one , I suggest a size up.
He's wearing a classic charcoal chesterfield coat with a fly front and velvet collar and a navy scarf. His suit is a grey narrow pinstripe and the sky blue shirt has a spread collar. The coat fits well but I hope the suit does too. The spread collar is certainly an improvement over the tab collars in Skyfall.

No worries, its a really usable and nice quality (for the bargain price) jacket...
Teamed mine up with black slim jeans, white shirt, JS black merino, grey scarf and black levis hobcap boots. Good look Ive been told !

This was for Joan Collins birthday they all dressed like Dynasty characters of the 80's/90's
In the 80s and 90s men wore a size too large, not a size too small
"The name's Magoo. Mister Magoo."
I disagree - whenever I've seen him in casual wear (jeans, boots, cardigans etc etc), I've always thought he looks fairly decent tbh.
Over and out.

Do you think he looks fairly decent in these photos?
He looks awful in my opinion.
other then those tacky suspenders, I would say he looks awful just because his face looks haggard and tired, just bad pics.

For a min there when I saw the pic where he is off the boat, I thought might have been a tab collar!!
