Daniel Craig wears Belstaff Kirkham Blouson not K Racer

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but Belstaff's official Facebook & Twitter state Daniel Craig's Belstaff jacket is the Kirkham Blouson (not the K Racer)

Although I think they have been known to get I.D's incorrect previously, maybe cmdr_bong or CRB could clear this up.

    Had not seen those posts but pretty sure the K in K racer just stands for Kirkham so its the same thing

    My bad!, I brought a black one direct from Belstaff (it was called K racer) which I returned, a little tight and as it was the summer version definitely not worth the money (not lined)

    I thought it could be 2 different jackets as I've previously seen minor alterations to Belstaff Jackets and they call them something else (Roadmaster, Trailmaster etc..)

    Sry for posting in an old thread, but I also wanted to say thanks. I only found Craig's jacket under "K-Racer". I contaced Belstaff support to see if it's the same model as "K-Racer".

    Unfortunately the blouson is sold out for a long time now and even used ones are hard to find in size XXL/54 (I normally wear L, but tested XL/52, too tight as apple8 mentioned!).

    I want this jacket!! :D

    E: Got an answer.
    Cotton blousons: The K-Racer is tighter than the Kirkham, everything else (material, cut) is the same according to the Belstaff support.
    Leather blousons: K-Racer is made of 8 OZ leather, while Kirkham is made of 6 OZ.

    They come up now and then, keep an eye on the ebay thread, I also take a 54 or XXL in belstaff they are crazy small sizing.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood
