James Bond Jackets (DC era)

Hi all,
Well I was doing a stock take of my wardrobe (lets just say it is beyond full!!), anyway I thought to document my jacket collection from the DC films. This is not a comprehensive collection and I know a few more Bond fans have some of DC's own personal jackets in their collection.
I hope you enjoy the post!
Quantum Of Solace
TF Harrington
This is the by far the best jacket from the most stylish of DC's films and was lucky to get mine - although I had to get some alterations done, however the guys at TF were beyond brilliant in helping alter the jacket for use
I have only just received this jacket a few weeks ago and it has been my staple jacket and does not disappoint
TF Kazan Overcoat
I was really lucky getting this from another AJBer and it is my winter coat of choice especially when it is about 0-7 Celsius, this coat is warm and very heavy but very stylish and practical.
The back details are equally amazing as well
Unfortunately the original fabric is no longer available, however there is a similar fabric that came out last winter in TF's collection, it is a black herringbone as the original, the weight is slightly less, however it is a range T fabric which means starting prices of £5k for a MTM, also the design for the coat has been modified in TF's MTM catalogue - but it is a great coat and definitely a winter staple
These are the jackets together
Skyfall
The Levis Menlo Jacket
For me this is my least used Bond jacket, not that it is not a great jacket but out of all of the ones in my collection I have worn this one the least.
TF Coat
I was lucky to get this jacket made on a MTM, the fabric is now sold out, but it is a coat I wear when the temperature is around 3-10 Celsius. Even though it is 100% wool, it is very soft almost cashmere like and is very smart over a suit
Billy Reid Peacoat
I was lucky to get the first run of the Billy Reid jackets and it is a great winter coat to wear, the leather details are really good, I usually wear this jacket when it is around 3-10 Celsius. I sometimes wear this alternating with the TF coat.
Barbour Beacon Heritage Sports Coat
This is by far my favourite jacket from Skyfall, I have worn it a lot and is bullet proof - I have been in torrential rain showers and this jacket has been great. I would wear this jacket when it is around 5-12 Celsius, anything beyond 12 degrees and you will start sweating!!
These are all the jackets together
Spectre
Dior Mr White Jacket
I will start by saying I was ridiculously lucky to get this jacket and have to thank a very special AJBer for this coat
This jacket is beyond beautiful, the cashmere is fantastic and I have worn this coat is sub zero temperatures and it is as comfy as it looks.
I have been to the Dior store a few times and there are different iterations of the jacket, last year it was in the same design but in black and it had double zippers, it is one of those designs that might come back again but with alternatives to the original one.
TF Ski Blousson
This is a fantastic ski jacket and I have worn it during the winter months and it is very insulating, the jacket is still available and in my opinion a great informal winter jacket (https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/tom_ford/ribbed-merino-wool-and-quilted-shell-down-jacket/884282?ppv=2)
Matchless Jacket
I actually like this jacket, it is great for late summer and early autumn weather when the temperature is below 20 - it is very lightweight and unfortunately the camera doesn't pick up the nice sand colour. I will admit it can be difficult to match this to dark jeans. The jacket is still available at Matchless - http://www.matchlesslondon.com/en/craig-blouson-16023.html
John Varvatos Suede Jacket
I was fortunate to get this from the original run and thanks again to another AJBer who helped me in getting this jacket. Like the Matchless jacket I would only wear this jacket if it is less than 20 Celsius, and when compared to the Matchless there is little difference, saying that the dark marine blue makes it more easier to match with dark jeans or a t-shirt.
These are all the jackets together
....And finally
A small bonus for you all, and I know I am going to get a lot of attention for this, but I managed to pick up another jacket again from a great AJBer that you will enjoy
TF Harrington in creme
I was fortunate to get this jacket and have kept it as it is.
Apologies for the long post but I hope you enjoyed reading it.

If I could have any of them it would be the Quantum Overcoat! Is it a navy overcoat or black?
I am envious. Very little chance to wear my jackets and coats where I am. Too hot.

In answering some of your questions - the TF overcoat is navy blue, not quite midnight blue but it does have a very dark sheen to it.
Without getting more jealous reactions, I have another jacket in my collection which is not Bond, but equally iconic
Belstaff Ethan - MI3

Beautiful collection.
Very impressive.
Well too bad! Because jealous reaction is what you will get! X-( haha
I used to be a proud owner of the Ethan Blouson....until someone made me an offer I can't refuse. I miss that jacket everyday, and have been trying to find a worthy replacement since. Who knew a brown suede cafe racer style jacket can be so difficult to find??!!
Keep showing us more of your collection please! -{
I have almost all apart from the Kazan and the Tan Harrington and the MI3 one but they are all currently on my list of ones to find
