    So to everyone who was lucky enough to get in on these allow me to say:

    I've had the please of wearing the Tom Ford and recently ordered Daniel's 2.0.

    I know this is a stretch for some, but I like Daniel's more :) The lining, wool, and insulation all feel extremely thorough. And I'm not afraid to live in it. Thanks for all your hard work Daniel. It doesn't go unappreciated by all of us.

    -{ Cheers

    Thanks for sharing the comparison photos Sascha, really glad you love it sir!! And what can I say about your comments Mr ScotchNowPlease... I never thought I'd see the owner of an original item say that, but you've certainly made my day. Thank you all for the very kind words, I don't always chime in, but I do pop over to ajb every few days to see how everyone is getting on. Really great to see your photos guys, thanks for taking the time to share them.

    For my fellow (lucky) owners: How do you store this, folded or hanged, in order to wear out the wool as little as possible?

    I fold my TF one due to it having hanger stretch in the shoulders otherwise (no idea of proper terminology lol)

    All my jackets are hanged on cedar coat hangers - about $10ea on Amazon

    My Solden is kept folded in a trunk with other cold weather clothing.

    Thank you all for the kind words, im glad you liked the pictures!

    I store it also folded like welshboy and Westward_Drift so it does not get stretch marks in the shoulders.

    Have to say, the quality and look are very good. But, just out interest, does anyone else have problems with the zip???

    Yes, I was going to ask that too. It seems to be a good zipper but it always takes some (sometimes a lot) of fiddling where it connects at the bottom of the jacket.

    I have a feeling it's more of a general double zipper issue more than anything. I'm very pleased with these zippers and I think my one tip would be to make sure both zip pulls are at the very bottom before trying to engage. Because the right side is pulled up and out to disengage, both the pulls will pop up a little too.

    I received a jacket on return from an Aussie customer (sizing issue) who said the same thing sticky zipper. Honestly, to me it was the smoothest zipper in the world, which made me think what the issues may be. Just ensure both the pulls are at the very bottom before trying to engage, sometimes you'll feel a slight click as both of them relocate at the bottom.

    If the issue is disengaging, try unzipping it with a little bit of momentum, holding the right side of the jacket and unzipping with the left hand... hopefully these are helpful tips and bear in mind that metal zippers will take a while to break-in so to speak.

    I can't say I've really had any issues with these zips, but I'm so used to this style of zipper as there is a bit of a knack to the old double zipper.

    If you're still having trouble you can lubricate the teeth with a lead pencil, which is a neat trick to make it as smooth as possible.

    Hope that helps!!!

    Thinking the same thing about the super.natural combustion jacket when I first found out about the black TF.

    Hence the smiley. Dunno if you were around then, but this was the forum's go-to budget alternative in the very early stages of SPECTRE (during filming) when we still thought the jacket was black.

    And in and of itself, it wasn't a bad jacket in terms of looks and function — it just turned out to have little resemblance to the Tom Ford.

    Taste is certainly subjective and my opinion is that the combustion jacket is awfully looking.

    And now all of a sudden TF decides to release a version that looks more or less exactly like the Moncler Harrods cardigan. If I was Moncler I'd sue :))

    My first post on ajb, and hopefully an interesting one! Just received my Solden Jacket from Royale Filmwear, and I absolutely love it. Fits perfectly, snug but roomy, and is really warm! The look of it is really nice and met my expectations. Great job by Daniel! As I make James Bond fan films, I'm stocking up the wardrobe, and this is a fantastic addition. I'll post some photos when I've worked out the image posting feature

    Hello gents. Could someone please tell me if this jacket is warm enough to be worn in the snow? And will there be another run of this jacket (looking for a 2XL)? Thank you!

    That would depend upon where. In the snow could mean anything from 0 to -30 deg c
    The TF is designed as a mid layer really. So my opinion is no. But if you layer enough beneath with quality layers then perhaps if just below freezing
    Skewered, one sympathises...

    Is there still somebody here who'd like to trade his Large for my Medium (version 2)?

    I've tried it on with a t shirt and liked the SA snug fit, however now that the time comes to actually wear it (temperature-wise) I think I'll get more out of it if I can layer a sweater underneath.

    Let me know! I'd prefer a 1:1 trade and ideally in Europe (including UK) to avoid another round of customs fees.

    Looking to buy a medium, latest version, preferably in the US. Small was just a little too small!

    I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my v.3 and will be selling my v.2 on if you're interested in a sale?
    I'm a size Large and reside in the U.K.

    Kind regards,

    Hey Gary you might be mixing up the Solden (TF) jacket the OP is looking for, with the Harrington.

    You beat me to it. Either that or I have missed some major news about a v3 Sölden ;)
