How is the drape on Magnoli's CR jacket?

Macrossmaster · March 2010

Planned to purchase one years ago, things fell through. The jacket looks nice, but rather uncreased and flat in display photos when in the movie it drapes well and is very soft and organic.

Can anyone tell me what the drape of the jacket is like? Buttery soft and flowy?

Mine is shiny new, but I'm wearing it as much as poss to get some crease and fit into it. Its coming.

I know Magnoli offers light distressing as an option, but i didnt go for that, just got to throw myself down the road a bit. Which ive done an awful lot of over the years.

Here is a little trick...stick your jacket in a pillow case (tie the end if necessary) and throw in your dryer for a NO HEAT spin. Did this to an old stiff leather jacket with no shrinkage but plenty of softness afterwards.

Is it important to be wearing it at the time, to get the right fit?

) The softness is good, its just the shiny newness of it that needs beeding in.

Did you fall out of love with yours?

What is the jacket called that the gentleman bought from landsend.com? I bought my Black BR quantum jacket and I am super pleased, but it is black. I looked at LE website and all I found was a regular stormer rain jacket. Anyone that can help with this, it would be appreciated.

Also, anyone know where I can get the one Craig/bond wore on the motor bike with the white pants? It looked as if the jacket that he wore had adjusting buttons on the side?

You're asking questions about the Y-3 (Haiti) & Tom Ford (Bolivia) jackets from QoS. This thread is for people discussing Magnoli's replica of the Giorgio Armani brown leather jacket worn in Casino Royale, hence the talk about "softness".

If you run a search for words such as Magnoli, Quantum, jacket, Y-3, Tom Ford, etc. you should find many threads discussing these particular jackets, including photos of people wearing Magnoli's replicas.

I went a bit radical and soaked mine in the shower, and then tumble dried it, checking every 5 mins or so. Shrank it very slightly and put lots of little creases in it. Its added 5 years of wet dry wet dry life I would guess. Looks less like a 'dress' leather jacket, and more like a leather jacket. -{
