It seems there are some new photos of the new version of the Morocco Blazer intended to be closer to the on-screen appearance.
Thoughts?
(These are the Johnston & Murphy taupe chinos I put a picture of, for reference).
Yes. Consssssiderably.

It looks like Dan has nailed it this time. This definitely looks more SA.
I believe the first version was closer to the real colour of the jacket instead.

Maybe it's just the shadows in his pics, but while the color is in the right direction, and we're all grateful for Royale's dedication, as I look at these screenshots (especially the top 2) of the film I get the feeling the jacket may be a shade or two too light and should be a little closer to a light cocoa brown?
The blazer should be a shade or two darker than the chinos:

I don't think we need to be afraid. The color of the blazer will be SA!
As long as it's slightly darker than the chinos.
I was concerned because at first glance it seems like this color is closer to the Matera suit, or even Jeff Bridges' blazer in Iron Man during his now legendary "box of scraps" outburst.
Looks nice, not gonna lie
Any know know a good alternative to the pants and tie?
Magnoli has a pretty good Morocco tie replica that is two tone like the original. But unlike the original, it can be worn either color facing out.

If you're in a rush and need it ASAP/on a budget and don't mind what looks like slightly lower quality, check out this Amazon listing for $13 with Prime shipping:
Per the Iconic Alternatives post, Johnston & Murphy's taupe chinos seem to be pretty good matches for the BC trousers, as do the Amazon trousers (Especially if you're on a budget) but there are some good alternates on the post.
Thank you ! I just picked up the Johnson chinos and tie from magnoli. Definitely coping this blazer.
The pictures posted today on the Royale Instagram page have me worried about the shoulder pads.

Could be the angle....
Glad to help! Here is the link to more chino options, in case you change your mind before it ships!
Thanks, I went with the best option I think, if the site says those are it then I'm sure he knew how to pick them lol
It's now available!
Looking forward to reviews and pics!
Possibly a Frugal Bond with Bond Experience?
I picked up one in medium and one in large. Not sure which one will fit better. I’m also waiting for the chinos and the tie from magnoli. Looking forward in getting them I just got golden fox boots from Amazon yesterday and a similar belt too. I’ll post a photo when it all arrives
I'm sure he'll review it
Nice! Looking forward to the pics.
And regarding the belt: if you've found a similar belt (square buckle, part leather part suede) we look forward to you sharing it eventually!
The belt (or at least a decent alternative) is highly sought after! I know there are plans for a replica to be made, but I'm not sure if through Magnoli or Windsor Saddlers (I Just updated the post!)
I went with a belt from Amazon.... I tried finding the ones Iconic Alternatives and even Jamesbondlifestyle suggested, but none were in existence. Only one I found that was this one
Its leather and it looks good imo, for a frogual bond that is
The one I found was this one
Everything else recommended by Iconic Alternatives and James Bond Lifestyle are no longer in existence. For $30, its a decent frugal bond belt
I'd love to get one, but alas even the largest size isn't big enough in the shoulders for me.

Has anyone received theirs yet? The colour looks way off to me.
Not yet,
Mind posting some photos?
I don’t have one
Welcome back @canoe2!!! Hoping for a review of this!
And for any and all pics and impressions!
Okay so I received the blazer in both large and medium
here’s the outfit. I’m using the Johnson and Murphy chinos. The golden fox 6” khaki boots and the amazon belt which looks similar to the original
This is the large which I feel is bit boxy on me and longer sleeves
medium has a 21.5” chest and 25.5” sleeves
large has a 22” chest and 26” sleeves
I feel the medium is the more SA look and I wouldn’t have to have it tailored . what do you guys think ?
Off topic question, but is it me or are the color of this blazer and the SA Matera suit you have for sale pretty close?
Its similar but the suit is lighter in color, but they do share similarities
I know it's not the right forum for this, but I was wondering if anyone has a spare 2XL or 3XL of the V2 they wouldn't mind parting with.
Thanks for the pics! What are your measurements? Wondering if I should get a small or a medium, since your measurements show the M jacket is a tad larger than Royale’s sizing chart.
Also wondering how the length of the cuffs is towards the end of the button holes. I know he designed V1 of this jacket to have more fabric between the buttons and end of the cuff, so you could have a tailor alter it to your liking easier. Wondering if he kept this design on V2
He did, though my tailor still shortened mine from the top. I can’t remember why though.
