In his "Quantum of Solace on a Budget" article, David Zaritsky suggested as an alternative to the Tom Ford harrington jacket (from the Perlas de las Dunas scenes) the one from Warrior Clothing. Being a college student in need of a new jacket and short on cash, I ordered it and it came the other day.
While it's a good jacket, there are some key differences between the Warrior one and the TF one (or, what I used to compare it to, the Magnoli Clothiers replication). I know I do not have Daniel Craig's physique, but the jacket is rather loose, and I ordered a medium, a size that usually fits me pretty well. It's not to say the size is too big, the jacket is just not a slim style. Also, the cuffs and waist are elastic, where as the TF one is not. Rather then a simple button to close the pockets, the Warrior jacket has a flap on both sides, which also kind of detracts from the sleekness of it. Another minor detail is that the collar has two small buttons rather than the large one in the TF version.
I wore mine with some light jeans and a grey polo, and it felt noticeably darker. That said, it's a good jacket, and affordable (I got mine for just over $50 with shipping). If you want the exact kind of Harrington Bond wore, go with the Magnoli one (should I ever come into a good source of income, I know I'll probably get one). If you want a good jacket though that looks similar, the Warrior Clothing one is a good bet.
