Kind of liking this look with the CR Loake Tappers
MAN does that look fantastic with the Trappers!
Sadly, I returned the RGT jacket because I just can't get over my texture aversion to waxed cloth. I really wish they'd do a "dry" version in the same color.
Agree it is a little stiff for starters but all more excuse to wear it in!
My guess was the wax coating will wear off with time also becoming more supple and then it will look well slept in, like a good Barbour!
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
Stupid question or maybe even answered before but couldn´t find that out. With the RGT being confirmed and the similarities with the Billy Reid reversible jacket, should we conclude we did a wrong assumption thinking that was the one Bond was going to wear or does anyone see any potential to still see bond wearing the BR too?

Guess never say never until seen the film but I think its safe to assume the costume dept collect many items and test them out. I think your right saying the RGT was quite probably preferred over the BR

I wondered about the colour of the RGT jacket. It looks more of a light green in some of the photos on here. I have this wax jacket and wondered if it was similar enough not to make the investment. Other than the collar (which I have been able to pop on mine) is the colour that different? Any feedback would be so helpful!

Certainly looks close enough to me in color. Very, very close to the color of my RGT for that matter. Took me a few seconds before I realized it was a close enough!
In any event, how is the fit on you? Because, as can be seen on folks wearing it in this thread and a general Google search, the real deal has a VERY flattering fit if you have the right body type for it (ie slim athletic).

The fit is very tight but flattering. I'm very slim and quite tall so it sits nicely after having worn it in for a while. I'm still tempted to trade in and get the RGT anyway. But this is a great alternative which could be picked up on Ebay for a lot less than the original $200.

Thanks guys for the clarification. I don´t believe there is anything to be sorry about. Detective work is not an exact science and you guys are right 99% of the times. 1 wrong identification per movie is an awesome performance to me

Let’s say colour is close enough.
Actually you could double up with grey/ sand chinos, blue sunspel and desert boots and it would be a good inspired by SPECTRE look too - two for one!

They have confirmed it is currently in production in the Navy colour, my other request was to see if they could do the elbow patches to match the shoulder ones and what the cost would be.
Ive since heard back after a bit of chasing and they are happy to supply me with the jumper in Navy, with drawstring collar and matching elbow patches. Timescale is that once ive received the invoice it will be a matter of days to get it and the additonal cost for the elbow patches is only £5!!
So all in all itll be £54.50 for the jumper with additional elbow patches. I think this will make for a very close to SA jumper at a fraction. The herringbone cuffs to the sleeves really finish this off and will give it a more polished finish opposed to alot of the £20 odd jumper off ebay etc i appreciate its not bang on and those wanting this actual jumper will simply buy it but those looking for a close as possible SA and not pay the NP price and dont want to start customising stuff themselves this may work for you as it will for me.
As this jumper seems to be of reasonable significance in the film its worth getting in my opinion but the likeliness of it getting regular wear casually for me isnt vast (unlike the RGT jacket and R&B Henley which ive practically lived in!). I will from time to time but not a daily piece so for £55 i think its worth snagging and my order is in the can!
Im happy to have got to the bottom of this one and anyone who wants to request the same can email them direct at:

He is definitely wearing a size small R&B Henley for fitted look. The Medium would be too baggy judging from this picture.

Possibly, I have a medium and when I tuck the Henley in and roll up the sleeves it gives me the same look even without the suspenders. When the sleeves aren't rolled up you can see its not skintight around his wrist either. I'm gonna take an updated pic on this look soon.

I feel the same way about the fit. I haven’t found the R&B (in my normal size large) to be as loose fitting as many have here, especially when I roll up the sleeves and tuck in the hem. Craig is a muscular guy but this look isn’t skin tight.

Just a thank you to DB6 for posting the customs info on the stag RGT jacket
Managed to get back £30 so not bad considering.
Guys if you've been overcharged too its worth the stamp.

A few days ago, I was talking to somebody who's work uniform includes Crye Combat pants. When I looked them up, they immediately reminded me of this outfit that Bond is wearing. These are not the same as the screen, but many of the elements are similar - wide belt loops, front pocket, etc.
Before where I thought they were snowboard pants, I think we can safely say he's wearing some brand of tactical combat pants. I'm just not having luck finding them with metal snaps and the built in ankle knife scabbard. Do we know what brands that the British Royal Marines where or Protection Teams wear?

Pussy Galore: “My name is Pussy Galore.”

I've heard back from Connolly regarding the Giubbino jacket:
Thank you for your email.
The measurement chart for the back is shoulder to shoulder, as we don't have the actual jacket at the shop I can't provide the measurements you were requesting.
I will contact the manufacturer and get back to you with the information regarding the back measurements .
It looks like the size XL shoulders have the wrong measurement based on the size progression of the other measurements.
Regarding shipping:
delivery charges are, £30 for EU, £40 for international and £10 for domestic postage.
sorry but thats so confusing
I thought the first table shows the full center back length and not the Shoulder-Width, thats why I never understood why it says " Back-Length (Shoulder to Shoulder)" what does that mean?
and what measurements did you request? thank you

I used the sizing chart from the Tom Ford Harrington to compare the Giubbino sizing. If i bought one i'd need a size large as it's 2cm smaller than my harrington and the XL would be way too big for me. I think the shoulders are probaly 66/67 cm but i am surprised that they do not have correct sizing information (shoulder seem to seem and back length) on hand seeing as it was an item that was produced recently.
Noi, it looks like they are using the term "length" interchangeably with width. In this case back length shoulder to shoulder means width shoulder to shoulder. Here's what I wrote to Connolly:
I can't be sure from your chart if the the first measurement listed is the shoulder width or the back length. I would be interested in both measurements, namely the shoulder width across back from seam to seam and the body length from the bottom of the collar to the hem. I hope you can confirm which measurement is listed and provide the other.
We really need the jacket length from back collar to hem. as the fit untailored may be quite boxy.
I see, thats why it says "Chest Length" too, thanks for the explanation. wow the Jacket seems to have huge shoulders hmm difficult to choose the size with the correct sleeve-length now. Size L got a sleeve-lentgh about 38 inches if I calculated that correctly

All good, I’ve seen many great projects that others have put together on here and it’s nice to be a part of something to help others in the search for something, even though it’s only in a minor way.
The person I’ve added to contact via email is incredibly helpful. I think the herringbone cuffs add an additional quality and now we have the drawstring collar and matching elbow patches I’m excited to receive mine and I think that’ll be me done for the Craig era sadly.
It’s been a real pleasure and I’ve been lucky to experience various pieces from each film under Craig’s tenure I think in particular the wardrobe has become incredibly stylish, modern and cool again. I feel the wardrobe had lost it’s way a touch under Brosnan (my opinion).
I feel confident that the wardrobe will follow in the same vain under the next actor though so all good, one hopes.
In particular the casual outfits for Craig have been great with some stunning leather jackets. I feel very content with my pieces from NTTD, the R&B Henley will be worn to death, as will the RGT jacket, this commando jumper will get some time and I bought some alternative cargo tactical trousers which are cool for casual wear, the budget mango linen jacket snagged for £15, I’m away next month so that will be a signature holiday piece for me going forward (much like the sunspel polo). Team these with various other Craig pieces I can look back at this period with happiness in terms of the wardrobes we’ve had.
Regarding the Connolly jacket, I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of that size chart too.
The shoulder and sleeve measurements seem outrageously large. Could that have anything to do with it being a linen garment which is known to shrink significantly?
I agree that they need to be a lot clearer with their language. I found this generic blouson size measurement diagram on google image, these are really just the measurements we need:
a) Chest width (half/pit to pit, or full)
b) Waist width (half or full)
c) Shoulder width, from seam to seam
d) Back length, from bottom of collar to bottom hem
e) Sleeve length, from shoulder seam to end of cuff
Westward_Drift, if you could show them this in your next exchange and ask about the shrinkage factor I would really appreciate it.
(please correct me if I've mad a mistake anywhere here)
Nice work JG007... I may follow suit once you post up pics of yours.. I just cant justify NP prices for what is essentially a modified military/police sweater, but made of fru-fru material... Well done on your end... (and to be honest.. expensive / "gucci" tactical is not "tactical" at all...)
