Black Wool Overcoat/Topcoat CR

hcantrell

I've been interested in seeing if anyone on here has found good, affordable ways to get that "breaking into M's apartment" black overcoat from CR. It's an underrated look to me and is just quintessential spy attire. I know some people on here aren't Bourne fans, but I love all things spy - even though Bond is my favorite. I think it'd be cool to find a Black overcoat that functions as the CR look and as the staple of Jason Bourne's wardrobe throughout Identity and Supremacy. Anyone know of any alternatives or items?

It's not black. The topcoat is made of blue and black barleycorn tweed. It's more like a sports coat material in a topcoat cut. Tweed outer coats usually aren't make in the dressier style that Craig's coat is made in. I haven't been able to find anything like it, but it would be something easy to get made-to-measure from someone who makes topcoats and has a good selection of tweeds.

That is a really cool and unique coat. I'm not sure if canoe2 saw this thread, but this sounds like a job for Iconic Alternatives!

The best thread for alternatives to Bond clothing on AJB is:

http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/47031/budget-bond-collectors-resource/

People on there are always posting fantastic alternatives. I haven't seen any posts regarding this coat yet, but if you post about the coat over at the thread, you might get some good options. I'm certain canoe2 will cover this coat at some point. Maybe even sooner than later if there is enough interest. He is a wizard at the hunt.

I see that you are new here. A hardy welcome to you sir :007)

Always liked that look myself, recently treated myself to a nice long sleeved black polo. http://m.boden.co.uk/en-gb/mens-coats-jackets/coats/me092-chr/mens-charcoal-herringbone-british-tweed-overcoat?cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-Shopping-_-Product&istCompanyId=a40e1fa1-0635-4a1b-8d9a-2caa763eeee2&istItemId=xxrixipqip&istBid=tzat&gclid=CjwKEAjwhILABRDwo8mlqt6ug38SJACNSq_kNnXu8Bx8fb_ZWat_co0B2g94dk_QGEi_ER1zNqbgZhoCfiPw_wcB

Have you had. Look at Marks and Spencers Autumn and Winter range?

Some good stuff that might be what you're looking for.

Thanks for the welcome! I've loved this forum ever since I luckily stumbled upon it. Been using it for a while but only recently made a profile. I will definitely say that Marks and Spencer is my favorite company for Bond. I've found amazing alternatives at great prices, great quality, and shipped so quickly. I recommend them to everybody. Thanks for the responses this was my first post!
