the Mil-Tec Gloves arrived today in L and XL I think they fit tight, I need the XL. I bought them on Outdoor-Fan and have now a 10% Voucher so if anybody wants the Code please PM me. first come, first serve.
Does anybody know if MA will re-release their duster coat in green from the movie?
Yes you can contact them and put your name down for it, think they said it was about €800
I’m intrigued by this coat but reluctant to pull the trigger until I see how it looks in the film.
To me the idea of a long summer coat is definitely fashion forward. People will know you’re wearing the NTTD duster. I can’t help but think of guys in black Matrix coats back in the day.
On the other hand, maybe it will spark a trend, the way the TF Solden blouson seemed to open the door for a bunch of similarly styled pieces of winter wear. Maybe dusters will become a thing again.
yeah I know what you mean but afterall Bond was and always will be directly connected to a tux or a suit at least and finding a green/grey corduroy duster? good luck! there will be not many people wearing a similar item. I like the coat and will pull the trigger. A duster has something of a Western-Touch and wearing those coats in the sun have a special place in cinema-history; think of Sergio Leones Once Upon a Time in the West, unforgetable. looking forward to Mr. Zaritsky review.

here the measurements, hope it helps (if you need more details please let me know)
the XL (11cm) were 0.5cm. larger than the Ls (10.5)...so M should be a 10cm and so on.
I don't know where or when I need them in my life because wearing Combat-Gloves in Public im literally like: https://youtu.be/yLLCFJGEMvs?t=103
but they look pretty cool (combined with the r&b henley):
I would refrain from wearing them socially. Wearing black tactical gloves in public is probably not a good idea in todays world unless you're a actual police officer or something.
Wearing it to bed wasn't that bad lol
It did break it in nicely and now I'll just wear it normally
Does the jacket fit true to size (even after wearing it to bed)?
Are the sleeves a bit short?
Thanks
I wear XL and went with XXL- sleeves are perfect and length is at belt line like it's supposed to be. Probably picked up. 5 to 1 inch in the chest. Can't wear anything more than a t shirt or Henley underneath.
Thanks for the info.
So the consensus is to size up -{

You're welcome & sizing up was definitely needed in my case with the Maden knockoff
FWIW, I received this email response from Danner on Dec. 31st re: black Tanicus side zip 8" boots:
Dec 31, 9:26 AM PST
We did make the tactical boot in black, but currently their are no plans to make them again in black.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Happy New Year!

Sirs,
isn't this in some way a contradiction to the earlier message that the company are "not able to disclose this information at this time as it is confidential"?
Would they really custom make the boot in black only for the production team/costume department - which liked the Tanicus in sage or brown so much that they wanted this specific boot in black?
Regardless of the fact that several boots in black are available?
Best regards,
7
Perhaps it was different departments/people responding to email queries and hence the different replies?
It's a good looking boot I have to say. I had a pair of Danner's when I was in the forces (not this model of course) and they were excellent - waaaaaaaaay better than the issued boots
My name has changed! I’m no longer dufus......now I’m DB6

Of course it is - just passing along the info for everyone's benefit. This was actually my second time posting it because my first attempt seemed to be ill-timed during the glove-a-thon.
Who knows if the Danner rep actually knew what she was talking about or if she was directed to keep mum. We'll see.
my thoughts then go back to the use of the offset sights. if the front A2 sight is not obtrusive then why have the offset sights and worse yet, why have them mounted on a rail that is held in place by the springed attachments of the barrel, the barrel nut and the handguard cap.
or maybe I don't see right and those are not offset sights.
You're spot on - they're offsets and shouldn't be mounted on a non free float rail. The post (2,330) I quoted was actually a response to a similar conversation. Here's the rest of the post:
You're correct- the 2 "barrel" attachments appear to be rail-mounted front and rear fixed offset iron sights, both mounted on the forend. Not the ideal setup on a carbine-length forend due to the resulting short sight radius and not necessary with a 1X holosight, but whatever. Offset irons are most commonly seen in conjunction with magnified optics when cowitnessing the irons through the optic isn't practical or possible.

One trend I’ve been seeing lately regarding offset sights and optics, is having the offsets zero’d for closer targets, then the optic for mid/long range targets or vice versa.

Interesting. For competition or duty use?
Doing so in the tactical arena kinda defeats the purpose of irons as fully functional backups. Every agency I'm aware of quals with irons and optics separately at every stage/distance of the course of fire.

Hello Cajun
I apologize I had not seen you already had accurately addressed the matter.
I must say is a bit, just a tiny bit dissapointing that they missed this.
I always thought that back up iron sights were there just in case the EOTech stopped to work !!!!
They absolutely are, but there's a bit more to it in this case. Feel free to check out the previous posts.
I read the previous posts Cajun but honestly, when you guys are talking with technical words, my english is not sufficient to understand everything

Good off the shelf tactical trouser option, yes....... I’m aware they aren’t SA but a pretty good option and teamed with the right jumper - NPeal or alternative I think it would look the part, additionally they could be utilised as casual and double for walking trousers so could get more use than something SA anyway. I’m sure Royale will make a trouser and probably the jumper but there is plenty of stuff out there to get VERY close to this look and also not break the bank to do so but also use the items again as opposed to a minimal use piece

I agree - It looks great and I'm happy to see DC's Bond in tactical rig but I really can't think of anywhere I would wear this. At least it's some money saved for other things
My name has changed! I’m no longer dufus......now I’m DB6
I read the previous posts Cajun but honestly, when you guys are talking with technical words, my english is not sufficient to understand everything
Understood, Fred. Basically, the front and rear offset (angled) iron sights are mounted on the forend (front grip), which places them too close together for optimal effectiveness.
Second, the forend contacts the rifle's barrel, which for a few reasons makes it unsuitable for mounting any type of precision sighting device.
Finally, the offset iron sights are unnecessarily redundant since the rifle has a standard fixed front sight. The typical configuration would be a rear folding iron sight placed behind the EOTech optic. The folding rear sight is used in conjunction with the fixed front sight in the event the EOTech fails.

That sounds good Cajun. Thank you very much for the explanation, I've got it now {[]
Just slightly changing of topic. Do we have any clue about the pants and shoes Daniel wears with the Massimo Alba raincoat?
As far as I’ve seen there is only one picture available which doesn’t give anything to go on but I’m excited to see the coat in more detail - looks great

Yes, I think it's a very smart piece. I refound this picture which was circulating in the internet and it seems it could be the one

Those seem quite good.
I'm having trouble telling whether the SA custom pants are black, charcoal, or gray.
Im thinking the npeal with some black cargos will be enough out in reality

Same here -{
If you compare to the tactical shoes, I would say the pants are not black.....grey or charcoal effectively !!!
