You got it lets hope no one uncovers anything else before Chritmas still could be worse I am sure many others have spent a ruddy fortune this year! Still 3 years to save for the next one
OK here is the teaser which is the real one and the other 15.99 of eBay can you guess
(the average joe probably won't but I will know!)
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
Well, the one on the left is a bit darker....no matter, Does the Ebay seller have more?
I bought my alternative last year and posted here and they went like hot cakes. I have been meaning to ask them they are in Essex somewhere, but I have not seen any listed this year as yet.
I was actually surprised how close the match actually was when I got it home.
Cheers :007)

I got mine last year when they were available on eBay and even with shipping to the US it still only cost me about $65 USD which I considered a bargain. Let's hope they become available again.
The Spirit blue lodge hoody is back in stock at Revolve, they had all sizes yesterday.
I picked this coat up beginning of the year, went XL as per the size guide but it was huge when it arrived so sold it and have been looking for a Large since. Despite them stating it is a slim fit, I didn't find this was the case, the Canada Goose XL was bigger than an equivalent North Face XL.
The colour is called Spirit. It's sold out online in all sizes for the hoody (XS only) and non-hoody versions. Good luck finding one in a store. I went to 5 different stores in my area and looked online with 4 retailers and nobody has one in this colour.
I ended up getting the PBI Blue in XL and it's a great jacket. I wish it was the darker blue but I'll take it.
Thanks for the tip! I picked up another in L this time as my XL baggy!! For $500 odd dollars shipped was a great deal compared to Europe prices!!!!!!!

Amen I found one from Coggles UK, £450 in Small AND 30% of everything which came to £315, more than chuffed. Taking it with me for skiing in Bulgaria! So many great reviews for this jacket, appreciate it didn't feature on the movie of SPECTRE but a great jacket for press shots!

I with you there pal , the wife has told me no more or christmas is cancelled )
Just managed to persuade her for indys spectre shirt as I had to send the TF back no size 16's phew
Somehow I still think i'm not finished but I drop that in Jan :007)
Oh dear went to London today on business trip and passed by Picadilly on way home and looked where I ended up!
Also popped to JV (thank god they only had a large in store - too big fortunately) followed by Omega boutique (again lucky I have SM300 already) then JC Crew ( no Kentons wallet breaths sigh of relief) and ended up at N Peal after a trip down Savile Row.
So I consoled myself with a turtle neck - well it's Christmas
Cheers :-))
Not a bad consolation!! )
Should have popped to Harrods in search of the brown TF tie!!
Harrods bugger I was only the other side of the park in Marble Arch!! (but it would have meant a trek through the Wunter Wonderland)
Actually with all my recent purchases this Bond collecting mikarky is costing me a fortune already (and I swore I would go frugal after the watch) time to take a break for Christmas me thinks
Nice day out though now to get this one past Zero Alpha (good lady) especially after my trip last week she already thinks I am nuts! I told her the Moncler was cheaper than Harrods and TF (haven't mentioned the solden gloves yet)
Why do they cancel orders if they have the stock? And typical it is all snapped up before I get a chance to re-order
It's probably something to do with the software they use.
Say they have 6 mediums in stock, and 10 rabid Bond fans descend upon their site within the first minute, and all are attempting to order. Well, as they are checking out, the software returns a stock value of 6 so it believes it's still in stock even though there are 10 people attempting to order it. So if you're number 7-10 and you order and you get a confirmation, it could be that the program was still returning a stock value of 1 or more even though it wasn't actually there.
So if anyone is to blame, it's the software company that wrote the website...

I accept that the first time it happened. I do not accept it five weeks and countless re-stocks later. It is now 100% JV's fault.
I don't think that because of the fact that one of their jackets is selling like hot cake. Which for sure never happened before and probably will not happen again anytime soon they will get a new software to take their orders. Their fault? Yes. Will they fix it? No. Will they care if a fee fans are upset? Nope.
I totally understand that this is upsetting. I would feel the same. I did not try to Oder because I am not sure about size and I am not convinced I would wear it enough ... I like my Barracuta G9
Longer than most of my vlogs, this one doesn't pull any punches...I normally don't encourage everyone to watch these, nor do I post all of these here but this may be one you DON'T want to miss.....many people had been asking me about what happened with TF this time around, and this sheds some light on the subject...at nearly 20 minutes, you may want to pour yourself a drink first...

Comparison with the Zara stand ins which are different enough I still like them
