Description

Gustav Graves/Col. Moon jacket from Die Another Day. (Eon Productions, 2002) From Pierce Brosnan's final movie in the role of James Bond comes this high-profile leather Jacket made for the lead Bond villain "Gustav Graves" (Toby Stephens), aka "Colonel Moon" (Will Yun Lee). Initially such a jacket is seen worn by Colonel Moon during the opening action sequences and then subsequently towards the end of the film by Gustav Graves. Within the film's climatic storyline, both characters are revealed to be actually the same person, and the jacket is used as an important visual aid to compound this fact. This Korean military-style leather jacket was purposely bespoke made for the production unlike the majority of the other generic standard Korean military costumes used during filming. It is devoid of all insignia and buttons, these assumed removed for subsequent use by the costumier, but retains the original sewn-in interior production-specification label detailing "Bond" with the number "3", lending itself to be one of three Jackets made for the production. Originating from the world-famous Angels Costumiers. Principal James Bond movie wardrobe is very hard to find, and this is a wonderful example and perhaps unique in the fact that it was made for use by two different Bond villains in the same film.
