Maybe email JV to ask for a reissue the suede jacket from winter 2013 in camel. It would interest me more than the Matchless "original."
+1. Especially with the way Matchless is handling the situation. It's ridiculous how much they copied that design. Hate that symbol on the arm too. Either way, that jacket is gonna go down in history, being so limited, even if it's for infamous reasons.
We really should write JV about rereleasing with a lighter color. I'd be on board with a movement in that direction.
Absolutely agree on the idea of a JV reissue... From what I've read and seen, even if I had the funds available to have gotten the Matchless I wouldn't give them my money... Seem to be lacking in integrity and class ..
Come to think of it, has any Bond actor worn obviously branded clothing?
Yes. Sean Connery in Thunderball. He wears a Fred Perry polo shirt and three different pairs of Jantzen swimming trunks. They all have prominent logos.
And the Slazenger golf jumper in Goldfinger -{
And Bogner ski wear in TSWLM, FYEO and AVTAK. :007)

You've forgotten OHMSS. But at least the branding isn't as obvious on Bogner. Are we supposed to notice that both Bond and the bad guys have "B" zips on their skiwear? At least in OHMSS it makes sense, since Bond store his skiwear from Piz Gloria. But then we see both Bond and the Soviets wearing Bogner in TSWLM.
Not wanting to piss on anyones or anything, what with all the, erm, "issues" shouldn't it be a case of waiting until these are actually in hand before any bunting is put out?
Just to reiterate what hthomas posted, AJB member Flighty has said that you should be sizing up for this matchless jacket, so maybe grab a large if you missed out on the mediums.

More expensive than Matchless. I think in my email I'll broach a JV Star USA version like the blue jacket.

I didn't mention OHMSS because I thought that branding was not visible.
