My Matchless in a bigger size is arriving today and I'm in NY working until late this week. I will say it is a little frustrating having to pay duties on both the original jacket returned as well as the new jacket. No fault of Matchless just me kicking myself for ordering the wrong size initially.
"Why should I need more time? Jobs done. The bitch is dead."
Do we have any new info, or screens on the Lake/Mr White blue jacket? I've been searching and searching, and I find the biggest issue is the designers label that style jacket differently; bomber, flight, moto, biker-style for the same style of coat... Makes it very difficult to locate.
Can anyone give me their opinion of the Crockett & Jones Tetbury & Northcote boots? Are they comfortable enough to spend most of the day on your feet (12-18 hours) while wearing them? I'm thinking of grabbing a pair while here in NYC. Thanks!

I have to say my Tetbury's are fantastic! They are by far the best and most comfortable boots I have ever owned. They required no breaking in whatsoever and have given me no problems either, even when wearing them and walking around London all day.
Truly excellent boots!

I find Dainite soles to take some getting used to. They're stiffer than other rubbers or leather. I can walk about 3 miles non-stop in them at a time before my feet start to get tired, though my feet used to get tired on them much faster when I first started wearing Dainite soles. The rest is all up to how well those boots fit you, which nobody can give you advice on except yourself.

The Boots on the JCrew website are indeed the wrong colour, however, I was in the J Crew store on Regent Street, London, on saturday (the 26th Sep) They had the (correct) Sahara colour in the store, still at £285. The size I saw was US 8. so, there may be a chance that they have these in stores still. There is also a fairly large J Crew store on Sloane Square, London and a smaller boutique on 38 Lambs Conduit Street. If you haven't bagged a pair why not call ahead and see if they have your size. As my previous notes outlined, for UK buyers they run about a half size smaller than the US size, ie Size US 10 fits a UK 9 1/2 / Euro 43. I have been cutting about in my pair for 2 weeks now and they are super comfy. As a last note, I am a huge J Crew fan and J Crew have a very very good customer service record. they also do a "find the product you want in stores" kind of thing, where you can email them or call and ask if they can find an item for you in stores stocks. I have done this on a number of occasions and they have been totally awesome. The email is julie@jcrew.com (it's a generic customer services email address) if you have no luck try this as a last resort.
On the subject of shoes, I thought I would give an update on the J Crew kenton boot, the boot IMHO is the Morocco suede boot, based upon the fact that DC has been seen in public on at least three occasions now wearing them cross referenced with the admittedly grainy morocco picture and a reasonable assumption that DC is sticking with a comfy boot he enjoyed wearing. I picked up a pair online at a fair price. I am a UK 9 1/2 Euro 43 and I purchased a US 10. By luck they fit perfectly but only with a thin pair of socks. They are comfortable and light. I have included a stock photo as I can't get the light right at home. If anybody has any questions about the boots I would be glad to help.

I think Bond_James_Bond is trying to say that the airport boots and the Morocco boots might not be the same. I personally think there is good evidence that this might be true. If you look at the picture below, it looks like we can see the top of the Morocco boot. It looks like it cuts off at the ankle. The JCrew boot appears to go higher up the leg than that. Would love some feedback on this, as I am not very good at judging these sort of things.
If the airport boots are not the same as the Morocco boot, the Sanders are a pretty good guess due to the use of Sanders in the JV outfit. The color looks a little different, but lets not forget that the Matchless jacket looks different depending on the lighting.
Indy, any chance of a double coin replica like your Skyfall cufflinks?
Certainly could do... curious what would be the most popular... maybe do four versions (Suit/Double, Tux/Double, Suit/Swivel, Tux/Swivel)... keep everyone happy!

Are there any other shots of the tux cufflinks? I'm wondering if there isn't a shine on the black in this photo, making it look grey instead. Look at this one... they could be black like the suit cufflinks:
The comments on JBL support this theory:
The shirt of Bond's costume even has the round black cufflinks with JB initials, as spotted earlier in one of the earliest spy photos of the filming of a SPECTRE scene in London
This photo was taken by a member here RF, who went to the Utrecht exhibit. Hope it's ok I've taken the pic from his post 3,347 on this thread: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/769821/#p769821
Its far away and angle could affect it, but the cufflinks look grey. I've reached out to RF to see if he remembers the colour or has closer pics.
If you look back through the threads guys there are plenty of pics of DC wearing the J Crew boots in public. If you look at those pictures and really examine against each other you can see the shadows and rise of the suede after the toecap and the pattern of the upper lace panel is completely different to the sanders boot, almost like a finger print. It also appears that the boot has some mild dust on them, which may have been added by wardrobe and has given a lived in look. The top of the boot you see, in my opinion, is simply the 1 inch or so trouser turn up from the chino's/Jeans he is wearing (which haven't had much press). The fact that DC has been wearing these boots in public possibly days and weeks after filming in Morocco are further evidence to me that this boot is indeed one and the same. We will know 100% soon enough but I would wouldn't go out and by a pair of sanders thats for sure.

Im pretty sure the mor boots are the j crews. Sole, front, width, colour all look good. Re the ankle, the trousers are turned up, but still show the laces / holes that match (what we can see) with the kentons...

To me, the dinner jacket cufflinks look like they might be made from black mother of pearl, like the ones in this link:
The cufflinks worn with the dinner jacket in Skyfall were mother of pearl, so perhaps it's a thing for Tom Ford?
I think that the ones worn in London, and seen in close-up on James Bond Lifestyle, look more blue than black. Also, the dinner jacket ones seem to have the JB initials engraved into the surface, whereas the London ones look like the intials are printed/painted/applied.
We have a new trailer on the way. It hits theaters today with Sicario. There are a few shots of new footage and we will see a better look at the navy sharkskin suit and the tan suit from Morocco. It also looked like we get a shot of Craig in the Henry's.

I wish they would just leave it alone. They ruin everything these days. No need for a third trailer for crying out loud. Look what they did with Terminator 5!
Kind of agree. Skyfall was ruined for me. I must had seen the entire PTS before going to the cinema (well it felt like it). Maybe this is why it was a bit of a let down for me
However at this point despite the leaked plot etc im totally in the dark and hope to leave it that way!!!
Might avoid this trailer since its only approx 3 weeks! Maybe you guys can upload screenshots instead of anything new costume wise

While there is new footage I would say they didn't spoil anything. There really is nothing new in terms of plot

Unlike the Snowdons where the Shiny black / havannas look very similar.

I still think the Morocco boots are the Sanders Bertie:

Based on the fact Sanders are supplying the Playboy boot there is a very good chance they are supplying this one also.
Cheers for that Welshboy
Indy, any chance of a double coin replica like your Skyfall cufflinks?
Looks Like two colour variations, poss more with other suits
…look nothing like these…
?:)

I have no problem with with monograming. Bond has worn monogrammed clothing in the past.
