I like it. Can't imagine that I could afford to buy it, but I do like it. It looks very comfortable, warm and doesn't seem to restrict movement too much. I could certainly picture Bond wearing it in the right context.
I'm hoping they do include pieces that are a bit more attainable. That's what was nice about Skyfall. Most of the wardrobe pieces were not $1000+ other then the suits. The peacoat, the Barbour, the LVC jacket (even tho it was close), cords, sweaters, henleys, boots were all somewhat affordable and attainable, especially when the Barbour and LVC jackets hit a sale.
Until we see it on film, it's always speculation...I did not buy this, but my source took this picture and double digits of these were purchased. Action scene?
I wouldn't mind seeing that jacket. It's in the spirit of 80's Roger Moore, which I consider one of the best eras of Bond clothes.
I'm a bit surprised by this, as I tend to think of the 70's/80's as a sartorial dark age (though I still enjoy the films from the period). I would be curious to hear/see your rationale.

The mid to late 70s was indeed a sartorial dark age but the early 80s brought back the classics. Roger Moore's 80s suits are some of the nicest of the series. The rest of his wardrobe then was fairly classic too. Roger Moore never went for any of the 80s trends in his suits except for a low button stance. His suits didn't have the low gorge or power shoulders that were becoming more common towards the end of his tenure as Bond. The black Tom Ford jacket in question is like a black version of the shearling jacket Roger Moore wears in For Your Eyes Only, though not as conservative as Moore's jacket. The mid 80s into the mid 90s was pretty awful again for clothes. That's when baggy clothes were in, as you can see in Licence to Kill.

Taking a look at the early 80's films again I can see what you mean. Thanks for the explanation.
Wanted to share some news. At Tom Ford yesterday, it was shared with us that Craig was refitted at Tom Ford only 4 days ago in the NYC store. In addition to being fitted for clothing there was a discussion of what he might be wearing from a casual standpoint. I was able to see blue chukka boots, a very strange purplish/royal blue jacket, and a VERY cool black bomber. No suits were discussed but most of his clothes will be from the 2015 lines and thus nothing discussed is available publicly yet....watch this space though for more news to come as it breaks and of course right now none of these things might be in the film...but it's a first glimmer......here are some fun pics of our visit (3 hours, 3 bottles of champagne, and too much money later)...also, my wife and I attended a Washington DC event this past Saturday and I was able to wear a certain SkyFall tuxedo...just fun stuff....
That jacket it from the TF Autumn / Winter 2014 range and its around 7K ish. I only know that as I looking at the leather jacket from the range and that was coming in at around 5K

Tough call, I'd like to know what denim he's been wearing lately. I own 4 pairs of Ralstons, absolutely love them, but I'm not convinced he's been wearing Scotch & Soda since last year. I'd love to be proven wrong though, as they're my favourite jeans.
The Lanvin he wears is from several seasons ago...was able to snag one that someone let go...I can see why its his go to sweater...light weight, fitted, comfortable...easy.

Nice one! Reminds me of a classic WWII RAF pilot jacket. I guess a winter setup will more than likely appear in the new movie?
Do you know the price

my first thought was not too bad but this is something like Burberry brit would put out.

Cool Pics guys. Trust everyone is well.
Not sure on the neck tie lol
Come on Daniel. A little smile would be nice!
He was laughing and joking throughout the match...heck, he even waved when he was shown on the stadium screen !
It's actually a neckerchief, and it's still a mistake. The two-button cardigan is also odd.
Item, in my opinion. Then again what do I know and if he's happy {[]

7K US$$ or £££?
Ouch, guess we wont be getting one lol
PS which one is it - I can't see it
Yeah, that's a different jacket. I kind of like it better, honestly! Those ribbed cuffs, ugh.
Thought it might have been Lanvin again but couldn't find it in that colour
Guess those are Scotch jeans
