The Prague Coat

mckyle · August 2007

Hi All,

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I was wondering what coat that is that Daniel Craig is Wearing in the opening black & white scene - the one where he bumps off the "Section Chief" Dryden? It appears too heavy to be a suit overcoat. But it's hard to tell.

Any ideas about the style and maker will be appreciated.

I believe that it's been identified as a US Navy peacoat (?)

I think that is only a similar one. I'm pretty sure that isn't the exact one that Bond wears. I believe it was suggested by Mantis as a cheaper alternative to the real thing.

but this is not the actual one I believe, just a similar one.

im guessing the actual version of the coat was probably some sort of custom brioni?
