Managed to finally scoop myself a good Beacon sports jacket alternative, the Lutz model from Barbour.
Cut in a similar fashion to the original Skyfall jacket, it has a slightly heavier weight cotton (8oz instead of 6oz) a nice fit and the patina it develops is beautiful. I even removed the throat belt and buckle for a cleaner, skyfall-esque appearance.
Massimo Dutti have an almost identical alternative to the TF Solden Spectre Jacket.
I have just received mine and extremely impressed with the detail, and for £80 an absolute bargain!
Sizes run slightly large; I'm a 40inch chest and ordered the 38inch medium after trial and error.
Thanks for the information! Looks great.
Would you say it's quite warm? Good as a midlayer?
HC.

Great choice. I was wearing my one today. It’s a great jacket.

I've been wearing mine today, over a T-shirt. It's pretty warm, like a fleece, as a midlayer... but no good as an outer layer when it gets really cold.

I have a quilted Lutz in navy and I love it. Might consider picking up the cotton version as well.

Yep, I have that one as well...I really like it and got it for a good price!

As per the above comment, it is a good fleece like layer. It's wool blend, coupled with a nice base layer, I.e. turtleneck (as per Spectre) would ensure you remain warm from cold weather.

Nice, thanks for the information all

Goldfinger Slazenger Burgandy Golf Jumper is available with an (in effect) permanent 30% discount.
https://www.slazengerheritage.com/produ … -burgundy/
Use James Bond Lifestyle's 10% off code: JBLSH10
You can also use the Slazenger Heritage 20% off discount code: slzfb20
Both codes stack for the large and permanent discount. Slazenger heritage does not do the Black Friday or Boxing Day/January sale, so I would advise to buy it now using the 30% off.
Note: The item ships from Spain.
Ok so not exactly screen accurate, but my choice of an alternative for the Crockett and Jones Molton boots.
https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/st … 0665288_-1
Ok they aren't roughout or even suede and the welt is natural in colour and not black.
However they have a nice dark colour, are Goodyear Welted and have a waxed finish which is great for this time of year.
I can report that they are great quality for this price, I plan to dye the welts on mine to black.

For some reason the link won't work properly, the boots are called 'Technic Fox Brown Leather'

I have previously tried to link to the Debenhams website on here and it didn't work for me either.

Thanks, wondered what was happening there!
