Still 2 pairs in there this afternoon when I collected mine from being altered. The staff are very good in that branch, I concur! -{ -{
Did they have a 34/32 in ? If you noticed...?
Ooh, you slim so-and-so! No, I don't think they did, however as I'm usually a 36", I tend to ignore anything less than this size and as Tyrwhitt are normally small fitting, I tend to look more at 38". A call to the store would prove either way though and the trouser in question is right next to the phone. Try also the outlet at Cheshire Oaks.

Was it ever confirmed that the Morocco linen jacket actually did have a ticket pocket ? I watched it again.. I swear I did not see a ticket pocket.. ( I may getting blind in my years ) Really good view of the jacket when he hands over his Walther..
I watched the film again and the BC linen blend jacket definitely did NOT have the third "ticket" pocket, and it definitely DID have two slant front pockets, just as David and Matt S. had previously noted. In all my searching, I've only found one linen blend jacket with these specs, and it was a plaid check jacket.
This jacket is proving to be rarer than the Dior Homme.

Yesterday I received the grey slim fit GAP chinos that Mantis has been wearing in his Spectre Morocco outfit videos. They looked good. Unfortunately the pair I got has a defective zipper, so back it goes. For the best really, since they are $10 cheaper today than when I ordered them a couple weeks ago. I've decided to get both the 34 and 36 inseams and keep whichever works best with boots.
Also, I had a question. The bond character has obviously always been very stylishly dressed of course. But have the previous bond's articles of clothing always been outrageously out of reach expensive?
Were the jackets that Connery wore in the 60's the equivalent to the $2000-$5000 jackets that they put the new bond in? Or were they a little more... Attainable to the average person. Curiosity.

This is actually a very interesting question. As far as Connery's clothes are concerned, he primarily wore suit's, which were almost, if not exclusively, all Anthony Sinclair (to the best of my knowledge). I am not familiar with the history of Anthony Sinclair, so I don't know what kind of prices or status the suites held back then. The brand name of much of Connery's casual wear is unknown and ,therefore, difficult to determine how expensive it was for its time period. Again, with some known brands like Fred Perry and Jantzen, we would have to know their price tag for the time period. I know Brosnan wore Church's shoes, and I know those were expensive. Bond wore Rolex often, but I don't know the history of Rolex well enough to say if they cost a lot of money back in the 60's. When Roger Moore was wearing Seiko, I tremember someone on here saying they were a luxury brand, but I could be wrong about that. Of course, the Turnbull and Asser shirts were worn often and by multiple Bonds. Dalton wore quite a bit of casual outfits, but much of the brand names are unknown. Anyway, Matt S could probably formulate a much better answer to this question, but I figured I would give a crack at it. My guess is that most of Bonds clothes were expensive for their time. Well, that's my useless bit of information for the day )

Sean Connery's Anthony Sinclair suits today would cost what off-Savile Row bespoke tailors would charge, around £3,000. A GQ article from 1966 stated Sinclair charged $215 for a two-piece suit, which when adjusted for inflation would cost about a third of what the equivalent would cost today. If the Turnbull & Asser shirts were the Sea Island cotton variety that Fleming specified, they would also cost about the same as a Tom Ford shirt. The workmanship in Tom Ford's clothes, however, is better than on any English bespoke clothing I've seen.

I tried the GAP chinos the other day in Manchester, nice trouser but expected a slimmer fit, might be worth anyone in the UK trying Next's £20 chino when they start to appear in the next couple of months. I have a couple of pairs of the regular fit and they are a tad slimmer fitting than the GAP pair, Next also do a pukka slim fit too which are a lot more close cut.
While I called it slim, they are listed as skinny. In fit they aren't nearly as skinny as some (**cough** Uniqlo**cough**). No need to size up. I could carry my phone and a slim wallet no problem. My only concern is whether the leg opening on the longer inseam will be adequate for my chukkas or Kentons. A pity the zipper was broken, although that may work out in my favor in the end.

Here are some more detailed pictures of the Brunelli Cucinelli Jacket code number MH4157BR6 C1011. Are we absolutely sure that the BC contact has the right jacket, as Craig and David both stated that they thought that the pockets were slanted?:
Missed this when it came up on eBay just before Christmas. If it was grabbed by an AJBer who might want to part with it, please let me know by PM or email.

I have the same jacket as above (not full suit) with peak lapels and dark blue lining (SA lining is khaki/ beige). The only thing that I believe is correct is the fabric in this jacket with colour code C1011 ( not selling it by the way!). I actually have another BC jacket bought early on, before any high definition pictures, which actually has the slanted pockets and correct lining, and notched lapels (!!!) BUT the wrong fabric (beige with a feint herringbone pattern). I will eventually post some pics of jacket with c1011 colour code, when I collect the knitted tie from my US friend in a couple of weeks (the Neiman Marcus inverted colour version - brown on rust rather than vice verse, which I believe Skippy found correct version in Harrods before Christmas) together with BC trousers and Crew boots.
I don't suppose you could post the SKU/product code for the herringbone jacket? Maybe we could combine the codes to give us the correct SA jacket- or some kind of mutant Brunellobeast....

They are the Aiden chinos; I picked them up at the Banana Republic factory store for $20 a few weeks ago.
