See Dept B listing posted recently one (or very close too) already up for sale. The Barbour Ko Ti Ko is the screen used one but the later ones released by Barbour are absolutely fine as you don't buy the extras you never used (like hood). They are more SA because you don't have to hack your jacket to remove the hood zip. Cheaper and saves you a lot less hassle if you want that SA look.
Good luck

My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
The To Ki To's are hard to come by as Bond44 pointed out. If you must have the original, then it's worth waiting, but if your just looking for the Skyfall Jacket, the existing ones are very screen accurate, as Bond444 pointed out as well ). Lots of links on my review and the review should help with sizing regardless of what direction you take. -{
At the risk of reopening a can of worms, the Beacon isn't entirely screen accurate as it lacks the storm flap, which is visible in the shot when Bond stands before the mirror inside the manor.

Btw, do the new iterations of the jacket have different sizing than the original? Does the M size have a different fit between To Ki TO, Dept(b) and the latest Beacon Sports?

In my experience, I would say yes. I have the ToKiTo in XL and previously had an XL Beacon from 2016. The Beacon wasn't as tight across the shoulders and had slightly larger armholes

Storm flap?
Yeah, the original had a "Storm Flap" that helps add wind protection. The James Bond Lifestyle did a great comparison:
What looks like the storm flap is visible in the scene where Bond is looking into the mirror. Which gets me thinking. Was that little mirror scene suppose to be like him looking at his grown up self in a mirror that he may have looked in when he was a child? Never really thought about that before. Everyone is probably thinking, "duh". )

Thanks for the clarification James and McQueen -{ I think I remember reading about that on JBL ages ago but I completely forgot, it's a nice little addition to the jacket that I assume would come in very handy in adverse weather conditions.
