I emailed Barbour to confirm. Tokito Sports Jacket and the Commander are made in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is correct.

Subject: Barbour Tokito Sports Jacket and Dept B Commander
Hello,
Just having a discussion with a friend regarding where the Tokito Sports Jacket and the Commander jacket are made, and hoping you can help.
Can you confirm where these jackets are made? He thinks they are made in England, but I say they are made in Bulgaria.
Thanks!
Gents,
So I should have been more clear in my post but honestly I didn't imagine it would draw so many comments. The eBay post that I linked belongs to me. I bought the Jacket about a 1.5 years ago but it didn't fit. I also bought a large around the same time. I haven't worn either jacket and still have the tags on both so I'm also considering selling the Large as well. I'm in the military and was deployed during most of the time since then so I'm just now getting around to selling this one.
What is interesting is that this Medium has the Made in Bulgaria label and the Large does not. From your comments it sounds like the later batches were made there. They are both of the exact same high quality. Besides that label you wouldn't notice a difference. I hadn't even thought to compare labels until you guys mentioned it. Thanks for all the digging on it though! I hope that clears it up.
I posted a few thousand bucks' worth of genuine and replica props, magazines, etc. last night... I'm more than open to offers from AJB members... thanks.
I bid and won - completes the set for my mrs (I bought her the necklace and ear-rings when I saw Skyfall in cinema but no ring available in the stores)
PS - not over until the fat lady sings (until its in my hands)
I say this as I recently won a Brozzer era DAD Turnbull Asser Tie for peanuts on flea bay! It was not listed as Bond and I recognised from my research! Well the seller lost it allegedly!! Call me cynical but I reckon after I posted about it here, somebody did a bit of research, found the completed auction and made the seller an offer they couldnt refuse. I learnt a lesson there about posting about things not yet in hand! Luckily it was an item I had little interest in (I flogged my brozzer stuff) and had considered doing some comp at Xmas time on here with it! Just a hunch!
Reason for selling… (as stated in my ebay blurb) Whilst I’m an avid collector of all things Bond, especially clothing, I’ve found that the thrill is in the chase for me and once I own or complete a set or even own multiples of something I lose interest in it, I just buzz off the hunt that goes into sourcing these collectible pieces. Strange I know.

Perhaps I should clarify what I mean by lose interest. lol
I don't and will never lose interest in all things Bond and like most frequent these boards on an hourly basis much to the annoyance of my wife, work colleagues and friends.
There a few things in my collection that I'll never let go, my Skyfall PO Omega, Tom Ford ties and my Tom Ford suit. Others items though, I'm not so precious about.
Sorry if I'm offending anyone or giving the impression I'm trying to make a quick bit of cash, my intentions are legit, and I'm hunting all things Spectre now anyway... Cheers

It's a German seller, so will probably arrive smelling of sausages and old trainers.
It's a lovely looking ring though.

May well have been considered for the film however this is a fair bit diff to my Kazan tie from what I remember (will have to dig it out).
The silver rectangles are more rounded on the SA version (like ovals)

Did you or anyone else from the forum win the ring? It went for 209euros.
