Can any one links the exact model of the Moncler please ? I can't find it.
Don't want to disappoint you,but you won't find it anywhere

Might end up with a re run around the film release or similar product to tie with the film , or even it may end up being a Tom Ford jacket. Many possibilities but it may end up re surfacing nearer release of films like many of the bond pieces. The sunglasses may end up on a re run too. Just don't know without contacting suppliers to get an inside line. Although the brands may have to keep quiet until a certain point as part of their deal to appear in the film. I think though the gloves would be easily to obtain at this point and a good alternative to the goggle / sunglasses has already been found by MrZareba on another topic in the clothing category
Things are piecing together for the Solden outfit gents -{
I wouldn't encourage anyone to keep looking for Monclers until everyone knows more...Airmans anyone?
I agree with Mantis. know some have said these are vintage Vuarnet and they certainly look similar, but I would be very, very surprised if they'd use vintage sunglasses. As we all know from experience, sunglasses break easily all the more so when you're running around on snow firing guns and fighting. I can't imagine that the production team wouldn't have had at least half-a-dozen pairs of glasses at hand in case DC broke a pair. It's not practical to source six (or more) pairs of vintage glasses, so I believe they're something current. They may have been modified (ie the leather nose piece), but I think it's just something we haven't identified yet...or that's not even on the market yet.
The sunglasses are retro-styled glacier sunglasses, they are supposed to look that way. You will not look like an idiot wearing these in the mountains.
Does anyone else enjoy the irony of the new Omega Black/Gray NATO strap being used?
The fact that the Black/Gray was believed to be the original Goldfinger color pattern for years befor HD video... Then we found out it wasn't... And now it IS a Bond NATO!

When I said old Vuarnet, I meant old style, which they are. I don't know if they're vintage but the Px Vuarnet logo is pretty clear if you know what you're looking at, so I'd bet they're pretty well identified, age notwithstanding. At first I didn't think the front square logo was correct as the top front corner looked different, but when I blew up the pic, I could see the P and the ski below it. Looks like the corner of the P was rubbed off or just not showing up.
As far as sourcing multiple pairs of vintage glasses, that may be a challenge for some off the wall small brand but Vuarnet was a pretty big deal in the eighties when these were produced, and a ton of them were made. There's a seller on ebay, sunglassesfrance, who has sold six pairs of brand new 027 glasses in the last few months and has more listed now. These could easily be NOS frames.
BTW, Vuarnets are a hydrated nylon which last much longer and stay more flexible than a zyl acetate. I have twenty year old frames that are just as flexible and tough as when I bought them. They'll last through several pairs of lenses.

They look fine on DC in that setting, but I'm pretty sure I'd look like an idiot. -- Not that I don't normally.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pic. Freakin hilarious. It looks like it is the black/Gray.
Do an Instagram search for matchlessmalenotti and they should pop up. I'll see if I can do a link when I get to a computer. They're the folks that used to own run Belstaff.
There is a picture of DC wearing the jacket and they said they're looking forward to seeing their new jacket in Spectre. I tried to access Instagram from my work computer and it ain't having it. I hope someone else finds it soon before I start feeling like I'm going crazy.
Those are the wrong shape. Those are a typical aviator shape with a double bridge. I'm pretty sure the model number to that one is 430. That website is the only one that seems to get it wrong. If you do a search for the 430 you'll see loads of this style.
The correct style seems to be the 027 and I can't find any pics with the leather bridge cover. Still, the shape of the lens, the temple attachment area are dead on for the 027. Only thing missing is the leather cover. You can even see where the leather cover dips down between the lenses. Can't do that on a double bridge frame.
Also, all Vuarnet glasses that I've ever seen have the Px logo on both sides but the Vuarnet logo only on the left temple, including the ones in front of me on my desk(023, if you're curious).

Bought these also for the leather nose piece.

The leather covering the bridge is removable but I don't know about the side blinders. Never had a pair.
Either that or vintage.
On mine the nose piece has a button so it can be removed, but the side shields are riveted directly to frame so they are permanent.

I'm on the same page. It probably has something to do with living in Florida. The outfits so far wouldn't really work here.

Can't see anything there ? Got the link please ?
I can't find that

I found the exact same pair today however the writing on the temple is shorter in these compared to Bond's glasses.
That's another model I believe already... No button on the bridge, shorter temples - slightly different design overall I think.

Button is just on the back, incorrectly installed. Just needs to be unsnapped and turned around. Still the wrong frame though.
