James Bond’s “Other” Jacket Now Channels the Best of Barbour

Rogue Territory has an admirable origin story.

In 2008, Karl Thoennessen started making bespoke jeans, by hand, one pair at a time, before expanding into ready-to-wear denim. With the help of his wife, Rogue Territory boot-strapped into a beloved workwear-inspired clothing brand.

Then, James Bond rocked the brand’s signature jacket in 2021’s No Time to Die, setting off a media frenzy around the Supply Jacket and the little brand constructing it in Los Angeles.

Suddenly, a company focused on high-quality denim with a Japanese lean had a waxed canvas mid-weight jacket as its marquee product. But this was a good problem to have.

Rogue Territory capitalized on the buzz around the supply jacket by offering more colors, adding a blanket-lined version, and incorporating different fabrics.

The latest iteration may be the first to top the original version worn by Bond because it adopts a key feature from another iconic all-purpose jacket brand, Barbour.

A Japanese barn jacket

Thoennessen, who still designs everything himself, has expanded the Supply Jacket collection to include fabrics like washed-out sanforized denim and deep indigo-dyed 15-ounce Japanese sashiko canvas.

The latest addition to the collection is the Cord Collar Supply Jacket made from 14-ounce Japanese ecru selvedge denim. As the name suggests, it has a brown corduroy lining on the collar and inner cuffs.

Barbour is the most famous example of a corduroy-lined collar, but the design has been used for over a century to provide a soft surface on the neck and wrist where jackets frequently contact skin.

It is also commonly found on American barn and hunting jackets from brands like J.Crew, Filson, Orvis, and L.L.Bean, just to name a few. Where, unlike most Barbour jackets, it is frequently paired with corduroy-lined cuffs.

A perfect piece of outerwear

The Supply Jacket caught the eye of Bond’s wardrobe department and subsequently turned countless heads because it is refreshingly original. The mid-weight, year-round outerwear niche is dominated by trucker jackets, chore coats, barn jackets and Harringtons.

Thoennessen’s design blended elements from a couple of those categories but didn’t neatly fit into any single one. The Cord Collar Supply Jacket incorporates a practical and stylish element from another classic coat.

It also includes another small but impactful feature missing from the waxed canvas version: waist tabs. First appearing on the washed-indigo denim version from 2024, waist tabs can adjust the fit of the torso to make it more flattering.

Rogue Territory has always been rooted in the cultural exchange between mid-twentieth-century American workwear and Japan’s twenty-first-century adaptation of it, making this evolution of the Supply Jacket feel logical and satisfying.

Although it lacks the durability and patina of a waxed canvas, the 14-ounce Japanese denim is tough as nails, and the ecru color has limitless styling potential. The Cord Collar Supply Jacket in 14-ounce ecru Japanese selvedge denim might be the new best all-purpose piece of outerwear at any price.

Availability and pricing

Rogue Territory released a small run of this burly jacket on the brand’s website in 2023 and again this past May. Both times, it quickly sold out in common sizes. According to a social media post, this full restock is exclusively available from Stag Provisions.

The Rogue Territory Cord Collar Supply Jacket in ecru 14-ounce Japanese selvedge denim is available now from Stag Provisions for $348.

The older waxed cotton Cord Collar Supply Jacket, which lacks cord-lined cuffs and waist tabs, is also available from Rogue Territory for the same price.

A note on sizing: The Supply Jacket is notoriously slim cut, which is why Rogue Territory and retailers always recommend going up one size if you don’t like a snug fit. However, unlike the waxed canvas, this selvedge denim will expand up to half an inch in each direction in high-flex spots like the shoulders. You should still size up, but expect a bit more room to break into the jacket after a few wears.
