Snagged one of these original Tom Ford jackets thanks to a fellow member's watchful eye... pretty close to correct sizing.

Levis 505s? I'm looking to get some...

Very impressed.
Looks great, and there are still a few of these still available at TFNY if anyone is interested.
Jeans are actually 501s in rigid wash... but i do have some 7s on the way.
Shoes are the john white ryder knockoffs.
polo is sunspel.
The material is a waxed cotton on this TF jacket, and a Y-3 is cotton spandex mix... so I think both materials give a sheen in photo and film that move toward the Navy color, but they are both black in person. The accents are a dark brown leather. Quite a few details that differ from the film jacket(which I hope to rectify with my own version) but the cut and basic pattern are close enough.
But just for the record, or new members that could think that this is the actual model, the back is wrong and the one in the movie (not available anymore) does not have any leather except the zip, ie. the collar doesn't have leather.
That being said, like everyone else said, it's very nice, it looks great on you and I hope you'll enjoy it!
Ypur version with the leather collar clearly is black. It's been apparent TF produced this colour and collar comibination for some time.
However, I think greater ajb minds than mine would agree that the correct, screen accurate TF jacket with the material collar, different back, cut and in a different material is still NAVY.
The Y3 jacket IS black.

David - I have seen no definite proof from the discussions that the movie jacket was indeed Navy... and from what I have seen, it looks black to me.
Good to know TF finally released a more accurate version... nothing worse than an original maker not offering the original jacket.
And not to throw yet another wrench in the color debate, but after all the trauma, including distressing and sun exposure, then time before it came into the presence of later viewers...a cotton material jacket can easier fade from black to a Navy hue. I know this from personal experience, as do others.
Even in the movie, the jacket's color changes from the black it appears to be as new to the more Navy-like distressed color it ends up being by the end of the carnage.
There is a clear difference in color from the Navy polo underneath to the whatever color jacket on top.
Seems like another Indy hat color situation to me.:D
Further to Mantis' e-mail, there's also the costume card swatch of the jacket available which, as he says, is a midnight blue color. Albeit, midnight blue looks almost black in person, but it is indeed blue.
As a word to the wise, please do not trust the color of screen grabs or stills from the film. The post-production process allows for many ways to manipulate the colors of what you see on screen. You'd be surprised at what the actual colors of many costumes actually are in person versus what you see on screen. Screen grabs are really only good for patterns, labels, stitching, etc., but colors simply cannot be trusted.
That's why some items are rare and money can't buy everything in life
Unless you have them modified to match the screen one...
Do you know the price on that one and model the model number? Would love to try to pick one up.
Thanks
It's very expensive (more than 2000$ if I remember right) for a very generic jacket. I would rather spend my money on something more special and unique from Tom Ford, like the black Kazan coat. But that's personal taste.

For more information (so more likely 3000$)
Here are some other photos of the detailing:
The product code is 111BV138.
Ask for Dan or Alex. Crikey, sad to be one first name terms with TF staff...

Or is it just my failing eyesight?? B-)
As far as I can tell, the weight is the same. I only have my costume swatch to compare the jacket to, but it "feels" like the same type of material. It's definitely a lightweight jacket though, but since I live in Southern California, it's about as thick as I need here. To make it clear, the color IS lighter than the "QoS" jacket as that was definitely a dark midnight, and this jacket is a navy blue. But it's the closest match to the film jacket to date. Who knows if another version will come out next season, but by then, I think we'll all have moved on to the clothing from the next film.
To confirm what Blair has said, the jacket retails for $2,500. As for the product code, etc. here's a scan of the tag with all the info from my 48R -
