This is where big companies miss the mark or point. They take a short term view and want pre order of 150 to consider doing it. Where as if they released it as the 10th Anniversay QOS edition I am pretty sure they would fly off the shelves because it would not be just Bond fans buying them. Thus the number they could sell could be much higher (like Barbour did with the Commander now making it part of the regular range same as TF and the Black shawl neck Cardi).
If they do not embrace the Bond connection then it’s a lost revenue opportunity if you ask me.

True but by the time they set up all the patterns, find the material, marketing, shipping etc for a ltd run it may not really make much of an impact on their direct product sale revenue given the size of the company. What they are more likely to lose out on by not doing a ltd run is publicity and brand awareness which could of course have a bigger financial impact.
They would ultimately need to put it in to full production again for the season and getting a large number of interested parties from just one forum may be enough to sway them. Otherwise they may be gracious enough to accept enough orders just to cover costs for the fan base however I don't recall really seeing that much promo by them with regard to any Bond ties.
Getting on board whoever it was that offered to have a chat locally in Hamburg is probably a good idea especially if they have direct contacts at head office. You could also do some LinkedIn messaging. I have had success before going directly to CEO's of companies on there and just being open and honest rather than trying to breakthrough in the lower echelons.

I usually don't answer to these messages but I think it's enough.
Does anyone read the POSTS ???
Some members are specialists to confuse anyone.
I'm talking with Gregor Abenstein, he's the head of Y-3, HE IS IN CHARGE AND NO ONE ELSE.
There is too much negativity. The staff of Y-3 are reading this thread.
IF ANYONE can do better than me , then DO IT and stop confusing the others !

Thank you for your efforts, timiblade. Thank you to anyone and everyone who is assisting him in this endeavor. I wish that there was something that I could do to offer tangible support, but there's honestly nothing that I can do other than offer gratitude, encouragement, and a commitment to purchase one of these jackets if this re-issue comes to fruition.
Well said Gymkata. Couldn't have put it better myself. The one thing I have learned with these projects is that patience is a virtue and anyone who takes up the mantle deserves the credit and the time to see it through.

Perfectly stated. I agree wholeheartedly.
timiblade, you have my complete respect for attempting this project and for what you've done over at filmjackets. I hope you and the people at Y-3 aren't put off by the perpetually clueless.
Timiblade, Ignore the naysayers if this site has taught me anything it’s that anything is possible but it takes someone to make it happen and patience to see it through to the end. Of course everyone has an opinion and advice to offer (good and useless).
I have my grail now, would happily buy another the rest lies in the hands off Adidas/ Y3.
Good effort do stick with it for the eternal AJB community gratitude that will follow if you pull this off!
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
Thank you guys for your support. I will do my best.
Some people are like gangrene, they don't help at all. It's easy to criticize and it's difficult to actually do something.
We will succeed if we stay positive and (IF) we failed, at least we will say WE TRIED.
Everything is about trying as hard as you can. And success will happen.
Didn’t know this existed. Been away for a while. Im in gentlemen. This is defiantly a grail item for many of us I’m sure. Whatever happens, well done for giving this one a shot Timiblade. I’m in. All the best gents
