Sorry not to contribute in any way but I assume this jacket is an all-weather jacket and therefore would probably be useless in Sunny Los Angeles? (Unless one goes up to snowy Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead....)
Indeed. Seems they ship to other countries too. However here's a (perhaps dumb) question: Is this the same as the "Commander" jacket or yet another version? It doesn't have the "Dept B" on the pocket and the shoulder pads look like a different colour?
"I'm afraid I'm a complicated woman. "
"- That is something to be afraid of."
Mine doesn't have Dept B on the pocket but other than that it is pretty difficult to tell if it is different - spoke to Barbour and they said its the same jacket before I went for it.

I think that the "Department B" range is now simply sold as the "Heritage" range - Barbour themselves say that the Commander, now Beacon, is "inspired by the limited edition jacket Daniel Craig wore" so it is not SA as we know but it is the closest you can get without selling a gold bar!

Some new updates added for the X To Ki To (including explore007 excellent find!), the TF Harrington (still looking for the perfect one!), and the Ryder IIIs

Is this a good alternate to the Moncler Cezanne Mikael wears in Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? It pops up at Costco in the fall and throughout the holidays.... at least it did last year.
The brand is 32 Degrees.
Very limited sizing but the search can continue. And I have no doubt these will pop again at Costco by late summer.
Great find Peppermill. I really like this option. Really great choice for the TB glasses. I'll add these to the list and credit your name. Much appreciated! {[]
Yes, they do have a slight sheen. You notice it the most on the black ones. I picked up a black one at lunch today. I need to get out of these clothes buying spurts or so my wallet tells me.
Nice find! However, isn't it more of an alternative for the Y-3 jacket from QoS (albeit in navy rather than the SA black) instead of the Tom Ford harrington?

Yes your probably right, or in the stone colour maybe an alternative to Daltons morrocan Harrington in tld?

I'm not trying to be "that" guy, but Dalton wears a blouson in TLD in Morocco, not a Harrington. Check out Matt S's blog on that outfit:
With that said, I actually love the idea of updating Dalton's outfit with a Harrington, though I would prefer a more QoS style Harrington because with the collar popped, you can mimic Dalton's collar pop without having to pop your shirt collar. Ben Sherman actually make a mighty fine Harrington:
I have their navy Harringon, and will definitely be picking up one of the beige-ish colored ones for the TLD Morroco outfit. They use to sell a beige one, and that can still be found at other retailers. On the TLD outfit subject, I always thought a long sleeve riviera polo from Sunspel would be a great Bond alternative to the shirt. You can also find almost spot on shoes from Sperry.
Your "that" guy
I've got the Ben Sherman Harrington and it's a good one, I know TD has a blouson but the sunspel Harrington in stone colour just reminded me of that TD outfit, with some modern chinos, desert boots and a black linen shirt I reckon that would be a pretty good homage with a modern twist.

) You're right, I am "that" guy. I absolutely love your update ideas! I'm going to keep the idea on file and use it when I write my post about the TLD outfit with updated options for Iconic Alternatives, and credit you with the option, if that's fine by you.

I'll be even more "that guy": technically, the Sunspel is not a Harrington at all. It's just a cotton jacket with a shirt/point collar. Only the Baracuta G9 and jackets that copy the design should be called a Harrington.
But I do like your idea for updating the TD outfit! Looking forward to what James Brosnan comes up with your idea as a starting point.

You are quite correct canoe2, I know it bears little resemblance to a proper Harrington, and is far more like the y3 Haiti jacket, but Sunspel are calling it a Harrington? And sunspel is a bona-fide bond label. Anyhow still your site canoe2

Sunspel is wrong! WRONG I tell you!
(I'll put these emojis here so you don't have to post them yourself: 8-) )
Honestly, I had to recently look up why the G9 was called a "Harrington"; I had no idea it was because of a TV character until a few weeks ago. So I thought I'd share some useless knowledge ... {[]
Just learned over at dappered.com that online retailer Haberdash is having a going out of business sale. There are a few Bond like items (in very limited sizes) that are now closer to the "budget" range thanks to the sale and the 40% off code GOB40 (enter it at checkout). For example, there is a good match for the NPeal Skyfall sweater, reg $228, now $119 - 40%: $71.40. Here are some links:

Great and thank you! I'm still kicking myself for not picking one up when they were on sale at Sierra Trading Post a while back.
And thanks for the support re the changes to the site!

I've also started adding an "Updated on XXXX date" tag to the bottom of the posts, so folks know if the links in the past are past their prime.
Nice!!! That's what sets your site apart. Keeping it up to date! Thanks so much for all your hard work, it is much appreciated.

Or in brown (the ones I have)
In the meantime ... look what showed up at Topman for £150.00:

Elasticized cuffs and hem, but I'm sure those could be modded pretty easily

I picked up a couple of the shirts from the Perry Ellis website when they were on sale a while back. Quite nice.
As did I. They are very nice and comfortable to wear and of good quality.
However be aware that they do have a bit of a sheen to them.
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
Almost all posts have now been updated. New options added for the All Saints Iggy cords and the OB Setter swim shorts.
