I bought the Gap peacoat last year, and I must say it's an excellent budget alternative to the Billy Reid. I was able to get it for 40% off during a promotion, so I would advise waiting for a sale or coupon before buying to get the best possible deal.
Anybody after a BR peacoat homage could do worse than the Primark Cedarwood State one I got today. Correct pocket placement, wool blend, single vent and even some faux leather under the collar. All this for £35. Lapels are too big to be 100% SA. But hey...can't argue with £35.
It's a great add to my customized Royale Commander for the coming months.
Primark are now doing three white shirts with different floral patterns that are a "good enough" version of the Enjoying Death shirt. I took photos and I'll put them up when I can. They're cheaply made but that's to be expected for the price (£8), and they have no front pockets, but the style is very similar.
Here's a great alternative to the N. Peal Skyfall sweater courtesy of LL Bean. The "bottle blue" color looks right to my eye and it's tough to go wrong for $40 including shipping!

Thanks Tyler and Tennyson!
This one looks really nice for a budget alternative. I orderd one in skyblue via borderlinx and will post some comparsion pictures to the Zara when it arrives -{

The BR one has peaked lapels, not notched. The Gap one looks vaguely more like the Bond coat to my eyes though.

I've seen similar this year with leather trim, although the colour is a dark blue (not navy blue).
Has zipper and snap buttons under the placket. All it needs now is a waxing and you'll have a good alternative for the price.
Possibly closer to the 'ED' shirt from M&S?:

It's New Look and has a similar silver zip to the (Sunspel?) original without costing £145!
I went a size bigger for a more relaxed fit in the sleeves like the pic...
