And so the SA debate rumbles on........
It is a amazing ... about a 1 inch difference in placement of a button that, if Screen Accuracy is your thing, is ironically not fastened in the film. Heigh ho, I'm not judging anyone

He also returned his La Perla's because the bulge was much much smaller than SA )
Seriously if you really want that level of detail fill your boots! - I would rather be normal and happy ) (apart from what seems to be a slight Bond fetish but I am having therapy for that and some cream)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
for those who have non SA button placement, if barbour called you up and said, we will exchange your jacket for a jacket in the same size, same condition but have SA buttons free of charge including shipping, would you?
Everyone would (and to those who say you wouldnt, i dont believe you). And thats the point right there. People who look at pics of a product place an order but recieve something different, no matter how small, have a right to have the company fix it. Is it a big issue for me personally? no its not but its still an issue for many regardless how small. Basic business 101; You have to represent an item accurately and faithfully. And thats what it boils down to.
Sorry I read bulge as budgie and was laughing my socks off (for non UK readers we call trunks in the design of briefs as Budgie Sugglers you can probably see why I nearly choked on my cup of tea) )

I might agree if my coat arrived without an arm or by Perlas without a budgie but for a button 1 inch out - probably not. I bet the same people would sue God for being born.
Seriously I can appreciate the sentiment and I guess it just depends if you want the exchange for SA reasons or because of the principle - one equals get a life the other well is it worth dying for if so give it a shot (if not just enjoy what you have you lucky bugger)
I feel the same about those with Jack Purcells you lucky things but I know I missed that boat long ago
Cheers

Hi I came late to the Lodge jacket and now i have two..But i was wondering did Barbour actually market theses jackets as SkyFall or lodge Jackets
I am shocked, shocked that some of you would so cavalierly accept the betrayal of Tohohito Yoshida's aesthetic vision.
Unless the SA button placement is actually the original error and those plucky Bulgarian factory workers are the ones who "corrected" it in the first place.

For me I only care how it looks on me. I want to wear mine like a sportcoat so whichever looks better or more functional wins.

Hi I came late to the Lodge jacket and now i have two..But i was wondering did Barbour actually market theses jackets as SkyFall or lodge Jackets
No they were released as ''limited edition Tokito's''
The coming new model called ''The commander section(B) is being marketed as the Skyfall jacket.
yep, totally right. We should just be thankful we are alive and not question or demand anything. I will retreat into my comune!
and we are not talking about some invisible microscopic difference. I would say almost 2 inches.
Its funny because the SA one looks like the mistake to the untrained, un SA educated eye
Thanks for the photo. Is the SA the one on the left or the right
right
Cool I have 2 SA jackets then .. although i dont mind which on i got and i don't know why anybody would. I mean unless you are an actor trying to recreate that lodge scene and want continuity then i would understand but if you are just some guy wanting to look cool in the jacket i can't see why it would matter
Mine is non SA and given the variance in size I would not replace mine for a SA without trying. Mine fits perfect and I would not replace for SA if there was any compromise.
Interesting on the hood zip comments, I popped the hood I mine for the first time as the weather was shocking yesterday and buttoned up and cords tightened it performed excellent.
Not a drop leaked in and I have now decided to leave it on for a while, I like the designed look....... although not everyone's taste I am sure.

I actually would not exchange my Non SA jacket for a SA one. When I first saw the jacket I thought " what the effs up with the buttons?" I was happily surprised when it showed with the buttons evenly spaced.

Indeed worth a shout they were pretty good and understanding of the issue.
Sorry if my post was a bit vague buddy.

Yes, the screen accurate one has the bottom button lined up directly with the pocket flap corner.
I have mentioned this before
The Irony of the 100% wind and waterproof jacket is the it gets soaked from the inside by sweat
if u are asking then yes!!
No i was not asking. I was informing anybody who was unsure and needed a definitive answer so i made this as a quick reference
