    What’s your price point?

    I worked with this https://www.etsy.com/listing/716393866/casino-jacket? seller to make this a very accurate replica. I haven’t ordered mine yet, need to get back in fighting shape, but they have a proven history on therpf making jackets based on Marvel and Star Wars properties. Plus I don’t think the over 1000 sales on Etsy and 5 star reviews speak badly either -{

    I'm a fan of Wested as well, nice products and safe to deal with, I don't have the CR jacket, but i have 2 other W jackets (Menlo and London Spectre) and I love them all.

    I have Westeds, two in fact as a I beat the old one to death on an expedition in Tanzania. Highly recommend them.

    I like the Magnoli one - the leather was quite soft. However there was an inaccuracy with the sizing of the front pockets (compared to the screen version) which doesn't appear was ever corrected.

    I own a Layer Cake jacket from Wested and several items from Magnoli between the two I’d recommend Magnoli but just a word of warning they’ve both got inaccuracies especially the Wested that made me seek out another replica maker.


    Not to get too off topic but if anyone has pictures of Magnoli and Wested replicas of this jacket id love to see them, there’s not many of recent ones around.

    AWESOME, THANKS

    If somebody has pictures of both models ( tested / magnoli) it will highly appreciated

    Wested's version of this jacket was a complete miss. The texture and color were both quite off and in hand it felt like something you'd find in a store that specialized in knock-offs.

    Any frugal version??
  • norbac1norbac1 Posts: 104MI6 Agent
    Option..

    Hi, I’m quite new here but I would like to propose something: let's try to persuade Mr. Daniel Love from Royale Filmweare to make a replica? He proved himself from what a could gather. And he's already considering it. Why just don't give him a little push

  • blackhawks1229blackhawks1229 Posts: 81MI6 Agent

    I wouldn’t want to push him to do anything, but if he felt so inclined I’d purchase one in a heartbeat!

  • TheMitra018TheMitra018 Posts: 2MI6 Agent

    Yeah, I hear you, not exactly thinking to “push” him to do anurring just to show him how many interested people for it there is.

    Also, I would like your guys opinion on my job of replicating the jacket, feel free to share your opinion!


  • MFisherMFisher Posts: 747MI6 Agent

    Agreed in that I'd love to see Daniel do one as well... my motivation there is because not only do I absolutely love the pieces he has done thus far as I own a handful (Solden, Altausee, Linen blazer, Enjoying Death shirt) - but I have a lot of respect for his enthusiasm and commitment to doing projects for collectors like us.... I'd rather hold out and see if he does pull the trigger on this as opposed to picking up the Wested - knowing that Wested does excellent clothing as well - but I just prefer to support Daniel as a person / business owner too.

    I might be in, too. All the Royale stuff I own has been screen accurate and well made. Leather jackets are difficult to make though, right?

    yes leather jackets are difficult to produce in a large run, a lot of people on this forum have tried and failed to get runs going of the different Craig era leather jackets.



    The casino royale jacket also had such a specific cut and fit since it’s cropped and has tapered sleeves that it’s extra difficult to make in standard sizes. Between Magnoli and BigEffectProps you have two solid options at good price points so unless Daniel feels like doing this jacket personally I don’t see any need to push him to do it since it’s a project with so many factors working against him.
