Very interesting indeed - any more info on this???
Are they a big company? Never heard of them!!!
Eton is a well-established Swedish shirtmaker that produces high-quality products. They're fairly well-known.
Thanks for the info, anybody asked them for more info with the Skyfall connection and if it is for sure 100% true (in the past we have had similar claims that were untrue)
For that price I sure hope they did supply them for the film
As TF has no production, may be their shirt are made by this producer.
Just heard back from the company that sells the shirts. They didnt say whether or not the shirt they sell is the one used in the film, but attached a file with some infomation about the shirt. My guess is that it is a replica of the shirt used in the film. A nice alternative never the less!
Yes I noticed that too when I was going through their website...can't select "tab collar" I will inquire about that and then post back what they say...The shirt looks great but I their alternative much different from Magnoli's version of the tab collar?
Would anyone be interested in ordering these shirts like how everyone was ready to jump ship for the Zara shirt? I emailed Eton and asked if more than enough of us was willing to buy a shirt maybe they can give us all a decent price. If not, I think I would stick to Magnoli's tab collar OR shirtsmyway.com. It's still great quality and a little bit cheaper. Don't think I wanna spend close to $200 for 1 shirt
Thanks for your comment.
My original text based on the information I got from Eton has been changed
by my technical guys who put up all the images and content for me. I've had
more questions about this today and we have removed the shirts so far and
will continue to contact those customers who have bought the shirt and
inform them that this is not the real James Bond shirt.
We have no desire to mislead our customers or anyone else.
Eton has also been very clear to us that this is a shirt inspired by the
movie, not the actual shirt in the movie.
So in a nutshell, this company has NOTHING to do with SkyFall...
I hope I don't come across as a jerk for not being a huge fan of most of the fashions in Skyfall but the only things I like are the Tom Ford suits and Orlebar Brown swim trunks.
The ties are indistinct and my least favorite in a bond film and the tab collar shirts were done in the U.S. in the 90's and I'd rather they not come back. Don't get me started on what he wears when he's dead.
If we all liked the same thing it would be a boring world
Personally, the Skyfall look has grown on me. Yes perhaps the suits a bit tight and the tab collars old hat..... But remember (we all forget sometime) Bond is a movie character and can wear v tight suits to enhance the movie body....
The style is spot on for some of us who are 35 - 45 in age.
Highlights from Skyfall to me are.....
Lodge look - Barbour is a great jacket, really versatile and can be worn to the pub, walking the dog or whilst defending your house !!! With jeans, cords, boots (especially the Islays) etc etc
Shanghai look - perhaps not the full village people teaser at the airport (so will be leaving my Marko's away from the peacoat for now), but a peacoat goes with anything, grey fitted trousers, Tetburya, black v neck, white shirt and black tie especially
Enjoying death - I was stopped in Yarm by a fellow Bond fan on this Saturday, around 9pm, who said "can I get you a scorpion Mr Bond with that !". Ted Baker shirt very similar to Zara one, slim fit chinos, levis hobcaps and of course the LVC !
As for the suits, ties and shirts. I like them, off to Harrods next weekend to see if my ailing bank account can whether a TF suit, if I think any come near to the film, particularly like the grey fine stripe, blue shirt and well doc blue tie look. Know the exact suits, shirts and ties aren't available so depends how nice they are !!!
Just my view, everyone entitled to their own I guess

Any one else not in love with much of this stuff?
By and large, Bond's clothes for Skyfall are nowhere as appealing to me as his outfits in Casino Royale and QoS. There are a lot of things this time around that strike me as too fashion-forward and dandy-like for Bond to wear (e.g. tab collar shirts and short, tight suits). If I had my way, they would have kept the Tom Ford Regency-model suits from QoS, which I thought looked impeccable. They had a more classic, timeless look that I feel suited the character better. I would also prefer to have Bond wear the more traditional spread collar on his dress shirts, as opposed to the unusual tab collar that was chosen.
That said, I do like some of the wardrobe items. The BR peacoat looks great, as does the TF overcoat, Marko sunglasses, and midnight blue tuxedo. The C&J shoes are also very stylish (especially the Tetbury boots and Alex whole-cuts). The Levi's leather jacket also looks nice and suits the rugged, rough period of Bond's life. But I personally am not a fan of the Barbour jacket. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I'd much rather see Bond in the QoS harrington jacket or the Y-3 bomber. It's just not something I'd personally wear.
Anyways, at the end of the day I'm not particularly bothered by Bond's costume choices, although I do sometimes wonder how the decision-making process worked. But this doesn't dampen my excitement for the film in the slightest, and I can''t wait to see it in glorious IMAX on the 10th!

i think the "decision making process" as far as the lodge is concerned is based on what would be "lying around" in a house he pobably hasn't been to for years.
they are the type of clothes you would expect someone from around there to were.
"some men are coming to kill us, we're going to kill them first"

This is exactly the way I feel. The Regency suits were great, but the new suits are fashionable in the same way that Timothy Dalton's were in Licence to Kill. Except before they were a size too large, now they are a size too small. Tab collars aren't something that the British wear. Americans were all over them in the 1980s, and they were around since the 1940s at least, but they haven't been worn in Britain since the early days of the style. I don't completely dislike tab collars, but I think they are affected and completely inappropriate for Bond. If that look is desired I think a collar pin would be better. Pierce Brosnan wore those on the first 2 seasons of Remington Steele. But that's still more of an American thing.
I also really don't like the Zara shirt (reminds me of the Floral shirt in Casino Royale), and I don't like some of the trousers that are much tighter than a man should ever wear them, but I do like the Barbour and some of the other casual piece.
What I do really like: the ties, the suiting and the shirting.

100% agreed, QOS suits were for me cut perfectly (except for the inclusion of ticket pocket) but sometimes not the correct weight and colour for their intended use.
jon_1uk: By referring to the "decision-making process", I was actually thinking about the fit of the suits. I've heard that it was a collaborative process amongst Daniel Craig, Jany Temime, Tom Ford, Sam Mendes, the producers, etc. and I still can't believe that they all agreed on this look. I'm wondering why no one realized the suits are too tight and too short, or why they thought such a poor fit was the right choice. Especially when you compare the fits to Casino Royale & QoS, I'm very surprised no one said, "Hey Daniel, let's try this on in the next size up". The tab collar is also very puzzling, as it is very unusual and such a "funky" choice. I wonder if their appearance in Skyfall will make them a fashionable thing that can be found in most retail stores.
For what it's worth, I do agree that the Barbour jacket & the lodge outfit fit the context of the movie in terms of where Bond is and what clothes would be available to him. It's just not a piece that I'm interested in adding to my own wardrobe.

I'm not keen on that specific Barbour coat to be honest. I often wear brown cords and boots with my Barbour sapper, when walking the dogs, a look not too dissimilar and I prefer that coat.

I like it, but it only works in that environment.
Hence It's not worth it unless (like the Mantis) you want to create Bond looks for collecting purposes, or you live in a rural area or spend some time there.
Living in london, there are better alternatives that better suit urban living!
As a long time lurker on this site (about 6 years), and many purchases I thought it was time to post, mainly because I had something to add.
As of 30 minutes ago Liberty have the LVC leather jacket in a medium and small available and the Barbour Sports (Lodge) Jacket available in large.
I also ordered the TF Marko sunglasses from www.fashioneyewear.co.uk on Monday, they arrived on Wednesday so I can vouch for their service and reliability.
Finally, a thank you to all of you who have significantly improved my wardrobe post Casino Royale!

I'm not too keen on it either, neither fish nor fowl, as they say. Not really suited for a day wandering on moorland in heavy rain, but i suppose more suited to a wet day in the city. I do like Barbour as a British brand, though, and glad its included. As to it being possibly what was at the lodge, much more likely it would have been a 20 year old Barbour Northumberland or something similarly heavy duty hanging on a peg.
But it is perfectly suited to defending a dusty old ancestral manor from a cyber terrorist with a Westland Merlin Helicopter.
As we know DC's Bond always manges to find the exact thing he needs: Y-3 Jacket, QOS dinner suit, and the Skyfall Barbour jacket. I like the 'borrowing' part of this Bond, it's what a real world spy would do!
At the MI6 quarters Daniel Craig wear a pair of blue adidas trainers with argentina blue stripes and a white sole.
With the big shoe tongue they look to me like the adidas originals gazelle, but at the moment it‘s hard to say, to err is human and they also could be a pair of adidas spezial or adidas samba.

Agreed, its all good escapism, really wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm in agreement with others here. QOS really has the feel and style I like. I'll wait and see how I feel after seeing Skyfall. Maybe I'll be inspired to pick up a few things. :007)

I might be in the minority here, but I kind of like the tab collars. I think it is a traditional collar that has fallen out of favor.
However, I also think it will probably look terrible on my fat neck, which is why it probably fallen out of favor as a style.
