RM has made a few good alternatives to the Kenton's. I posted their now discontinued Gibson in Tobacco Suede probably about a year ago in this thread
RM is an outstanding Aussie brand, albeit a bit expensive. I'm so nearly seduced by the chocolate brown suede craftsman boots Craig was wearing about a year ago.
Never met said illustrious gentleman, but not too far away (depending upon where in Bonny Scotland he is! ).
Barbel is everywhere, he's having supper with your family. He's kissing your lover, he's.... You know the line.
I'm a bit knarked I missed out on that uniqlo.
I'm looking for a peacoat similiar to the BR. The Royale 2.0 version would be a good option, but I can't take a chance considering the hefty shipping and custom duty figures. I think I have too wide shoulders in comparison to my chest measurement (18.5" respectively 40"). It would also be about an inch too long and being only 5'6 every inch count to the fullest. I picture 5'6 and size large as a difficult equation even if tailored. It should look just right and perhaps for that reason everything should be done from scratch.
Anyway, it seems ridiculously hard to find a good alternative. Especially copies with peak lapels. The River Island peacoat suggested by iconalternatives.com is probably the closest option yet (despite the horrible patch pockets). Sadly it's no longer being manufactured.
I don't think it's worth 135 £ (shipping costs excluded) though. Only 54% wool.
Looking for a ROYALE Filmwear Talamone Shawl Collar Cardigan, size medium. Preferably in Europe, but the US would work as well. Feel free to send a PM!

Always buy the size that fits your shoulders. You can always have it tailored to fit your chest if need be. However I would contact Dan (SilverFinger), the owner of Royale and he will be able to help you out. Dan is the man! -{

How does this do for an alternative to the Skyfall N. Peal sweater? The color seems very close to me although a little dark compared to the stock images on N Peal's site.
Taking the duffle and budget outfit on its first trip!!!
Nice pants! What kind of color? Is it beige or grey? Taupe perhaps?

For those in the US, Nordstrom's Rack is selling the Frye Ryan Lug Midlace High Top Sneaker which Canoe2 listed as a CR Madagascar Converse Jack Purcell alternative.

I actually have a pair of those shoes and they are very high quality and a decent alternative for the Jack Purcell’s. However I think an alternative that comes closer is the Converse Chuck Taylor in Burnt Umber. I have a pair of these as well and, to my eye at least, they come closer than anything I’ve seen. I suggest jumping on them now if you want the best alternative, as they go quickly.

If any of you guys are looking for a good quality Bond NATO strap, check out PhenomeNato straps. They are almost like the color and quality of Omega's.

Well I've finally taken the plunge, despite my wife's protests and opinion that I just don't suit hats and ordered a flat cap I've chosen a reiss item made by Christys. Other than a wool beanie when it's really cold I don't wear hats, this weekend could change that.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

If only they had them in my size........
Very nice. -{
Where from? I picked up a Casio with a P.O. bezel that needs a NATO.
This shirt ought to do it. It's perfect for a delicious meal on a train with Ms Amasova.

After a long search I've found this:

Your best bet is to check Royale Filmwear that made an excellent copy. There are still sizes available

LOL beige or grey discussions? It seems Mr. Ice Guy got Hoyt Van Hoytema to take this picture.
Very nice, sir!
While we're on that subject, these seem to be a decent alternate to the Morocco pants at only $98.50.

Thanks for the heads up. Just grabbed the last 11.5. Great deal too! -{

EDIT: Ah, never mind, it appears that they only have the black version in stock. But the Burnt Umber pops up all the time on Amazon.
Glad to help. -{

Which I think may go better with more outfits.
Mine just arrived and I notice now they aren't even available any longer at that link.
Very nice shoes/boots! -{

That was a flash sale link. It should still show up if you go to Nordstrom's Rack and search for Frye boots.
Glad you like them. I have way too many boots right now or I would have tried the size 12 when available.
How is the fit compared to the 11.5 Kentons?
