I think it's matter of own taste.
I don't like this outfit.
Mock neck is too baggy around the waist comparing to John smedleys turtleneck. Jacket is so,so.
I think it's possible to find better suede bomber. And boots,they just not for me! Also looks very cheep.
It's just me,but he should wear something better.
I was able to get a Small and Medium ordered. I believe the Small will be the size for me but ordered a Medium to be safe. If anyone is interested in getting a Medium when I get it PM me.
The jacket has been confirmed by JV...details are the same, but thinking the sleeves were altered a bit (maybe length)...sorry for the crappy pics but this will give you an idea of what a size medium looks like on a 40R chest, and 31 waist....as mentioned video and pics coming tonight. BTW, mediums getting scarce already and no re-issue planned.

To be honest though it is quite a simple and popular design. I'm sure with a bit of digging / searching there will be a near on exact same / very close alternative out there. It's not like the Barbour from Skyfall for example where there were quite a few exact details and look to the jacket. With any look now we have the identity of the jacket we can find a reasonable priced alternative as personally for me , the price point of this is quite a lot for what it is! I am sure the quality , fit and overall package is second to none but I'm purely voicing it from a price perspective for myself. I've bought some of the expensive pieces in the past , the Levi leather jacket again from Skyfall being an example but for what this jacket is , I feel it's a lot of money for what it is. I have the mock turtleneck and would be interested in the trousers but I'd happily complete this outfit with an identical alternative.
As mentioned this is just my perspective / opinion , but I'm sure it's of unparalleled quality !! -{
Interesting how this all pans out and the path the costume department takes.
If I remember rightly Mantis (correct me if im wrong) had some info given by TF that he kindly shared before any shooting was begun (donkeys ago) where im sure he mentioned a blue suede jacket had been looked at etc. i think at the time TF had them in a denim jacket style etc
I presume this jacket stems from that search for the London scene and they were looking at diff options
Maybe im talking rubbish

Close enough example on just a quick search on ASOS!!
At £125 is a great deal! Compromise on the colour however in some photos the jacket looks black anyway! The collar isn't an exact match however the suede element is there plus it's a simple design like the jacket on show in London
Just got my C&J Camberley's today. This is my first C&J purchase. I love them. Very great quality and very comfortable. Video review coming this weekend.
that's cool its a John Varvatos jacket, I bought my first JV item a few months back, a V-neck that Jamie Dornan wears in Fifty shades of Grey which made me a fan of the company. But I think this is a jacket that looks good on someone broad shouldered and jacked like DC and not the average joe.

Not the best model for the size of jacket!

Looks better on the Bloomingdale model instead of a kid
Its the other blue one from the trailer that has the more detail (one which we thought was Tom Ford but ended up different, well a diff model anyway)
