Decided to see how this alternative of the Matchless jacket works out. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/361653113928) it's got a slightly different collar and has a few details differing here and there but looks like a frugal bond winner to me. Can't wait to see how it is in person!
One suggestion I'd throw out about buying a budget alternative to the Istanbul suit is that the trousers could double for the Acnes in the Shanghai outfit, especially if you buy a slightly darker suit, or simply don't care that your sharkskin suit pants are a bit lighter than the ones Bond wears when he's fighting Patrice.

I completely forgot to mention that! And it's exactly what I did with my Gagliardi suit.
Can you include this excellent tip in the comments on the post? I could include directly in the article, but I think you deserve the credit since I was a dumba$$ and didn't remember. Thanks!
This doesn't remotely qualify as a Skyfall lodge jacket alternative, but I think it captures a lot of the cool elements of the Barbour. And it bet it breathes a lot better!
Having just purchased a brown suit, I'm looking for an alternative to the Quantum of Solace Bolivia arrival tie. Indy Magnoli does one, but it's been out of stock for a while. Any other suggestions?
Probably light years away from C&J in terms of quality, but another Islay alternative for those budget-conscious non-americans (meaning no access to JCPenney):
On the product page the look more khaki than they are in real life. They're actually a very close taupe tone to the BCs, just a shade lighter. Here are some pics of mine:
Bought them as soon as I saw them, sales be damned! In case you can't read it, the product code is 4APN556X8 and they fit very true to size.

Not to mention the Casino Royale balcony cardigan outfit.
That's 3 awesome outfits with 1 pair of awesome pants.

Does anyone know what the inseam length is for Reiss trousers? It wasn't in the size chart.
Nice! -{

Just change to black. Still with 25% off!
Here's to a nice Black Friday sale! I read online that last year they had nearly everything half off for Black Friday.
I'll drink to that -{ If only that related to shipping too...
So digging some more it seems last year that it was only sale items that were half off.....
But there was sitewide free shipping!

Also found a GREAT alternative for the BC Morocco Chinos from Benetton! £33.00 in Dove Grey. Here's the link:

And now you can pair it up with a new Brunello blazer alternate from Gap!
There's a 40% off sale at the moment as well! Should come to $72 plus tax and free shipping.

Banana Republic also has a possible alternate to the Casino Royale PTS Cardigan, the Merino Links Button Jacket.

Dior Jacket alternate, but seeing this jacket without that collar is kind of disappointing.... still I figure someone could be interested.

MrIceGuy: you went with the Stafford jacket, right? Or is that a new one?
$35 for a Matchless alternate from Primark? Thoughts? Can a tailor could take care of the bottom?
Not to mention the Casino Royale balcony cardigan outfit.
