A while back I was looking on facebbook (i think) and came across a comment that mentioned the boots that Tom had in mi7. Wish I could find it again. Anyways, Ethan is wearing benny boots by Red Series.
Im suspicious as they have a XXL in stock but other sizes a preorder so I think its EXACTLY the same jacket as sure that green XXL was available the other week when it was still the Craig lol. Just moved the stock across.
Hillarious they say its inspired by the Craig *COUGH John Varvatos*
it is hilarious. As is the current price of all the Craig Blousons, $1500+ from Matchless. It's also odd they don't have the green nappa in stock prior to Dead Reckoning's release.
How is this new? It was commercially available 2 years ago. Belstaff had the Ethan after MI:3 so they can't call it that. Couldn't they call it the Cruise Blouson, or the Craig Blouson in Hunt Green? My guess is that they may not have a contract with Cruise and Skydance to use Tom's name or that of his character.
I notice the London store has mysteriously closed down and the online store reviews are shocking - many doing chargebacks (also a member here done this). Seems Matchless has not updated Instagram and also disabled all comments. Looks like they are turning into an even more dodgy outfit then previous
Yes I noticed that as I work just around the corner from where the London store was based. It closed down months ago. Matchless jackets are great but I wonder if they are suffering financially as they are often doing large discounts now.
Yeah I note their jackets get very heavily discounted eventually so presume low sales. Imagine all these film licenses and the whole Arnie thing doesn’t come cheap - overstretched maybe ££?
Not many third party stockists anymore either but imagine if reviews and stories are accurate they prob got messed about with stock also
I will drop him a line later. Did my adoration for the jacket have anything to do with it? I wasn't aware you liked the jacket or was even aware its existence..
On the Bond front I've offered to loan my Brioni shirt for a DAD Havana Hawaiian shirt run. So if anyone is interested let him know.
The HB Coram is also worn on the plane before the HALO jump and in the post-chase Paris scene.
I could see Dan doing a screen accurate non-reversible version with the knitted hem removed. I have the Coram but never gave serious thought to having it altered.
Do we have an undisputed colour code for the Cartier DeSantos? Have seen 016, 005 and 007 floating around, has anybody been able to make a "certain" ID? Thanks in advance.

I think they will rebrand it for MI. Thats what they told me a few years back on Instagram. Prob some subtile change haha
I'd be all about it. I kick myself for letting the Hugo Boss Lemy jacket get past me from Fallout.
Matchless Captain Civil War Jacket size Small
Matchless Craig Blouson original ES of 700 size Small

Great finding!
Sounds like early reaction to the film itself is terrific, which is great news.
They have now confirmed it's (still) the Craig Blouson - although now called the New Craig Blouson - very strange move IMO
I've managed to track the protective googles that Tom wears during the desert scenes.
If you enlarge the pic you can see the writing 'Bertoni' on the side of the elastic
While the gloves should be this model: Blackhawk 'hellstorm' tactical gloves in green I think
The New Craig lol

Sounds great, thank you.
Bit off topic but I've been speaking to Dan at Royale re the Fallout Trucker jkt.
He's considering branching out and doing a run. To gather traction if anyone is interested drop him an email / message etc

That sounds awesome!
If that happened and was successful I hope he'd do a version of the Fallout PTS Bomber Jacket (Hugo Boss Coram reversible).

You’d personally put a dent in my wallet since I’d be very interested in a Royale version of the trucker jacket and the DAD Hawaiian shirt haha
FallOut Trucker Jacket and DAD Hawaiian shirt?! Hell yeah!! I am in as well.
@Mattia De Varti could you ID the brand\designer logo of the tie by any chance?
Been bugging me since I saw it in the trailer!
I've been searching for it quite a lot. Still nothing. I even inquired Brioni but they didn't supply it.
If I find anything be sure I'll post about
Trying my luck again sunglasses-wise.

"The very words I live by."
is that the JV Suede jacket remaking an appearance on Tom?
It's a custom made George Patrick design
007 seems to be the experts view.
Personally the frame matches up colour wise but lenses look darker in the film, but that could be filters / lighting etc. Or they swapped them out...
£700-800 tho. Even I can't come up with suitable man maths to convince Mrs R

Wow great detective work as usual Mattia!
Thanks!
Here’s a hi-res of the outfit, if you haven’t already seen it https://imgbb.com/kM6Cpxq.
Thanks, that's very helpful
