I just spoke to my contact at Barbour and he confirmed that the infamous Tokito will be re-issued in the autmn/winter collection later on in the year. The jacket will not bear the Japanese designer Tokito's name and is not a re-issue of the original. But will be solely manufactured by Barbour, with the difference being that it will be more accurate to the one seen in the movie. The hood and zips will be removed and not come with the jacket, the cut tapered slightly more around the arms and back. There is talk that it will have a skyfall or 007 tag somewhere within the jacket, possibily on the tag but that is not 100% confirmed yet.

GREAT NEWS for those of us who don't have one, sucks for those who spent a grand to buy one plus the cost to tailor it. I think that nothing today is limited edition anymore especially when it sells like this jacket did.
I disagree, those who bought the original Tokito, really will have the 'real deal' in terms of this jacket, and those who have altered theirs to match the one on screen will have excatly what DC was wearing - his was altered too!
DC's didn't have a Skyfall tag, why does mine have to?
BOOM. And if (when) you (I) leapt early enough, you (I) only paid about 600, plus another 85 for SA tailoring
The N peal jumper had a Skyfall tag in it. Besides original Tokito, re-issued jacket. Makes no difference way i see it, if it looks like the jacket in the movie, it fits and you feel good in it. That's the important thing. I am not one of the guys who has the have the boxer shorts Craig wears in the movie. All this attention to detail is too much in my opinion, I want to live parts of my life as I do a bit like Bond not be DC as Bond.
Not if you bought it before the reissue. Mine does not have a Skyfall tag.
I agree with both of you, I have the PO not the tacky 007 etc versions. But in this case it is necessity, as there is no way to get this jacket, the fact is a re-issue is a God send for about 70percent here. So with or without, makes no difference to me, long as the label is on the inside I am happy. It would have been nice to get the jacket early like you guys, but sadly location does not always help in these affairs.
Maybe somebody should fire an email off to Barbour about this reissue, wouldnt want people to get hopes up and disappointed etc they denied this last time
I was just correcting you about the tag in the N Peal sweater. I don't have a big stake in any of this; I want folks to be able to get the items they want. I'm also not grouchy about having my Barbour altered to be screen accurate. It was part of the fun of it, I guess?
can't see it myself, he did say that part wasn't confirmed for sure. In saying that though, I was surprised to see N peal added the tag.

It appears not as I spoke to Barbour on the phone yesterday and they stated the tokito jackets are not made here

I agree, it would be cool of them to re-issue this jacket indeed!
I hope for fellow Bondians they do, but those who already have theirs need not be concerned!
