Which more or less confirms the holster is a modified Blackhawk or Eagle brand. The black and grey leg straps are another clue (the grey stripes are rubberized for positive grip). Blackhawk’s holster originally comes with prominent Blackhawk branding on Fastex-style nylon buckles.
Review was spot on, Ray. The gloves probably wouldn't tolerate much duty use, but are a steal as a piece of SA gear.
You mentioned Mechanix, which is my go-to brand. The first thing that wears out on those in my experience are the hook and loop (Velcro) closures, which is one of a few reasons some prefer elastic-cuffed slip-ons.
Readers should understand that at least in the field, tactical or "shooting" gloves are a consumable additional layer of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) with a predictable lifespan. Once they're torn or come into contact with a potentially hazardous substance like body fluids, etc. they're immediately replaced. Affordable off-the-shelf styles (like Mechanix) readily available at auto parts, hardware, and military exchange stores are most commonly used unless one has a special glove spec like Nomex or Kevlar.
It looks like the old TF Johnny Polo to me or perhaps he has resurrected the Sunspel Riviera.
I don't think it is that Barbour Technical jacket as there is no obvious zip and 1 too many buttons by the looks of it (although we know the wardrobe department likes to remove zips on Barbours - Skyfall)
I definitely think it has poppers rather than buttons through holes.
And it looks like there is a throat strap hanging down on (his) left side of the jacket
I would simply start looking through the previous brand relationships at last seasons Jackets.

Looks like you have nailed it. The jacket ticks all the boxes. Even the storm flap. That’s why the collar looks like starting a little further in the back.l (I am not talking about the throat latch).
There are different types of the graham jacket. A waxed version and a washed version. Concerning the Caribbean setting I would suggest it could be the washed version.

There is even a third version of the jacket called “Upland” with a detachable hood. Except the hood it is the same jacket.
It looks very close, but i'm not convinced its the Graham.
The Graham has quite prominent stitching next to the buttons running all the way top to bottom and also over the shoulder.
Given we can see the poppers/buttons I'd also expect to see that stitching or at least some light change where it would be but it looks like one piece of fabric with no stitching on DC in the image and no evidence of a pocket.
Also the collar looks more splayed on DC.
I'd bet its a Barbour and similar model though, they have so many variations available.
Im in the 'looks probable' camp - I think even though the stitching is prominent in reality, the image of DC os just too blurred to make that level of detail out. Structure detail is there, with the flap, the neck piece, and I think the very distinguished shoulder 'gussets' are visible too - sorry for butchering your photo Harveymushman!

Exactly, I always went for the ordinary stuff you'll find in a hardware store, my personal favourite was a Swedish Tegera brand with very tactile feeling in fingers, it was almost like wearing Neumann Football gloves, except cheaper and more hard wearing. Any overt branding would just be spray painted over.

The most requested video of the year is now here! We discuss Bond's No Time To Die navy ribbed sweater made by N.Peal and designed in conjunction with No Time To Die costume designer, Suttirat Anne Larlarb. In this full review we discuss the fit, the feel, the style, and even how to wear it and not look like you are storming a villains lair!
I have the email, but does anyone know if they're selling them in-store yet or is it solely online for now?
I'm small in the other n peal sweaters (Spectre collection) so considering small again.
Secondly, don't suppose anyone has an idea where the trousers are from that the model is wearing in the promotional photos for the commando sweater? Look quite nice, possibly even a corduroy.
I did ask n peal customer service but they coyly didn't answer when I asked about the trousers.

I was looking at the LD fisherman sweater last night and clicked the size guide:

This is what came up:
If that's the case then my usual Large will fit perfectly. B-)
Matchless Captain Civil War Jacket size Small
Matchless Craig Blouson original ES of 700 size Small
Lynch wears another design by them as well for Nomi's tactical look.

Good call. It has been said that Bond brands from before will be returning. This is a really nice piece.

Madelaine item already mentioned in article last month - believe it is a cashmere Tee
NTTD inner tag is pretty cool.
