Goldfinger Hacking Jacket

hcantrell

Well since it's fall and soon heading into the winter season, I was wondering if anyone had found budget alternatives for the hacking jacket that Sean Connery wears in Goldfinger. Honestly if anyone would like to share alternatives for the whole outfit I'd be more than happy to include that discussion in this thread topic. Really interested in this jacket it's so cool to me!

I find it hard to believe nobody else has interest in this iconic look of Bond's. Driving in the Swiss Alps in Goldfinger, just having won 5 thousand pounds in a golf match with a larger than life villain. C'mon now I know somebody has something they can add to this topic

Its an iconic outfit, I have a still as my lock screen on my phone. To me it's obviously the inspiration for bonds morrocco outfit with the colours and hues I know the materials are radically different but when I first saw that outfit in Spectre it immediately reminded me of Connery's outfit in GF and tb.

+1 on what Chris said. I haven't really looked for alternatives because I live in Florida and wouldn't get much use out of it. Iconic as it gets though. I love the chukka-shoes if you will. Been putting together the Spectre outfit, which is so similar in concept and is much more lightweight. In due time though, I will have no choice but to complete this outfit. I'm sure http://www.iconicalternatives.com/
Will cover it. I might even write a post in it sometime, as I tend to like the old fits. Actually, canoe2 is always looking for more authors for IC. Let him know if you might be interested in writing an article up in this outfit.

Funny enough while I was digging through my house and looking at some of my dad's old clothes from when he was younger (and thinner ) I found a tweed or tweed-esque sport coat and its actually not a terrible alternative. It isn't very close but it'll do for now and is cool that it apparently was one of my grandfather's. Fits me like a glove though it's uncanny.
