The same member also happens to have the Yigal Azrouel jacket(unaltered) that Cruise wears in Ghost Protocol. You know, just in case you guys are really curious. I'm never quite sure.

Actually, Kittlemeier is a person I greatly respect when it comes to these types of things, and as he is a more frquent visitor of FJ I am following his lead...

If memory serves me correct im sure he has the original Dunhill Layer Cake jacket!! Think I read most of the 80 page thread on the FJ forum, that was some bizarre adventure identifying that jacket!!
EDIT: Actually it looks a lot different, guess Cruise has a earlier model
From what the owner says about it, it was altered by removing the left chest pocket and the some of the zips. The one you linked doesn't look like the same leather though, so maybe it is a different season. Looks more like this one.

Thanks, David. I'm no expert on the Belstaffs though. There are several members at fj who know a ton about them. It was one of them that said the black Pattinson will be tough to find.

And that's discounting the twenty or so pages that were blasted, but yes, it's here in the closet. Now that my work season has slowed down, I'm hoping to take it somewhere(not very comfortable shipping it) where a perfect replica can be offered to everyone. I was hoping to have something by now, and the people I've talked to thus far have done everything they could to get one out there, but unfortunately it hasn't happened yet.
And it was Mantis and sruzgar who id'd the Dunhill so they are to thank for that. But you're right, some weird goings on in that story.
To be honest I never realised that a low budget "Brit" film like Layer Cake would have such a huge fan base for the Jacket DC wears!! I was shocked to see it at the top of the FJ forum with a massive amount of posts!!
I imagine the Dunhill Jacket was very rare and difficult to source once finally identified!! It must be worth a pretty penny!!

I get what you're saying. I loved the movie when I saw it(about two weeks before DC was announced as Bond, so I was thrilled with the announcement), but never noticed the jacket until the thread pointed out the red lining. That's what did it I guess. It's a fairly basic, conservative jacket, although cut nice and trim, that just has this pop of color peeking out. I guess that just works for a lot of people once they notice it.
It was just a matter of checking ebay daily for a year and a half. I only know what it was worth that day.
My Apogogies to the group and Kittlemeier for the post a couple of days ago.
Apologies also from this direction. I have a tendency of being somewhat matter of fact that comes off as trying to be a smart ass. I assure you it isn't intentional. I just like to be thorough.
I found this on ebay. Since me are talking Layer Cake, one of my favorite movies, does this look like a good replica?
Can't see it, but so far the only ones that are close are Dan's from Logan's Closet and Soul Revolver's latest one. Their's actually surprised me. Still not right at the back collar and the lining is nowhere near right but the cut, at least on their website, looks pretty good.
I would say not very accurate. The actual Layer Cake jacket is a very dark brown rather than black and the stitching on the chest and sleeve are contrasting.
As Kittlemeier says the Logan's Closet and the Soul Revolver are closest (Soul Revolver is black though rather than brown). Then again both are far more expensive than the link you posted...
Just got this email, not sure if they mean they can provide in black or just the winter version they sell:

At that price, I assume you immediately replied and placed your order, Paul!
I see you guys posting links to the layer cake jacket with the maroon lining. If anyone is interested i have a wested version i just posted for sale here a few days ago (which in my opinion is the best replica available). Forgive me if you all are discussing another jacket, i just thought I would shamelessly promote my for sale post only since it is being discussed.

Anybody seriously interested in this jacket?? Considering asking them if they would do a run in black.
On another note I found a brown one on eBay, unfortunately I have been told that Belstaff run quite small hence the one on eBay XL is sadly more like a L.
Actually I'm interested and already went ahead and asked them if they plan to do so or if they had enough interest so far to make a limited run. I encouraged them to go for it and promised to buy one if they did. No bullshit there I would actually buy one.
I won't get my hopes up. If their business model is fixed around high volume sales then forget it. It would interrupt the factory. Only a handful of high end companies do custom made goods... like Crockett & Jones. Then again that's built into their business model. That's in their DNA.

Would be quite awesome to get a custom Belstaff. Recommend it if they don't already do so.

From what the owner says about it, it was altered by removing the left chest pocket and the some of the zips. The one you linked doesn't look like the same leather though, so maybe it is a different season. Looks more like this one.

This pic supports the removed pocket. See the diagonal zipper impression and stitch holes? You may need a magnifying glass.

Are they saying they can only provide Avid Brown??
I have seen it in Avid brown and it is not very nice compared to the regular brown and of course black
