Your go to Bond outerwear?

Hey all, I know there are many options for jackets and coats when it starts to get colder out. What do you have that's Bond related?

For the fall weather I have a Barbour bedale, it was as close as I could get to the commander, didn't want to spend any more.

Winter I have a black pea coat that looks similar to the skyfall Shanghai coat.

    For casual wear in the colder half of the year I have a navy pea coat. Mine is more traditional but I put horn buttons on it like on the Billy Reid pea coat in Skyfall, though it's something I've been doing on my pea coats before I saw it in Skyfall. For dressing up in moderately cold weather I have a covert coat in charcoal herringbone with a velvet collar. The herringbone coat in Thunderball was somewhat of an inspiration when I got this. For very cold weather I have a very heavy double-breasted coat in navy, which I was inspired to purchase mostly by Roger Moore's coat in Live and Let Die, though mine is not as formal in its style. It's a bit more like the coat in Die Another Day, but mine is slightly less formal than that one. I also have a charcoal chesterfield coat with a velvet collar, inspired by the navy chesterfield in Dr. No.

    For me it all depends on the weather. If it's quite chilly, I gravitate toward a navy pea coat. If it's more mild, I really like the Navy JV Blouson alternative I have. Also - not sure if this counts as outerwear - you can never go wrong with a shawl cardigan, they're great.

    I have an original pea coat from 1953 that I wear when it gets really, really cold. For everything else, a Harrington jacket in different colors or just a navy or black overcoat.

    Those are fantastic for the extreme cold. I have one from the late 1940s that's built like a tank, though it's unfortunately much too big for me now.

    Skyfall was a boon for me. The Levis Menlo, the Billy Reid Peacoat, and the Barbour ToKiTo are my regular rotation when the weather cools off.

    I've gotten a surprising amount of use out of my Matchless Craig Blouson — mostly while traveling to warmer climes —while I almost never wear the Varvatos.

    My dream purchase would be the unidentified blue barleycorn topcoat Bond wears when he breaks into M's flat in Casino Royale. I have always been partial to that outfit: wool polo, glen plaid pants, black calf chukkas.

    Skyfall always looked so good to me. I want to upgrade my pea coat this year!
