RAIN2 Duster Coat

In No Time to Die, the Massimo Alba RAIN2 Duster Coat is worn in Bond’s Norway stretch after he reaches Madeleine Swann’s childhood home and meets Mathilde, then carries into the escape once Safin’s men arrive. The scene places Bond with Madeleine and Mathilde at the isolated house and on the exposed roads beyond it, where he hustles them into the Toyota Land Cruiser and drives beside a fjord through rough, wet terrain. Production reporting from the shoot describes this as the Norway chase staged in a remote Highland location, with second unit director Alexander Witt filming in difficult weather using multiple cameras, a drone, and a helicopter rig to capture action that lasts only seconds on screen.

The coat’s importance is tied to how this Bond has changed. Costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb explained that it was the sort of garment Bond would grab in a hurry from storage rather than carefully plan, which helps explain its looser, more improvised feel. Daniel Craig also said the costuming in No Time to Die was intentionally more relaxed than the established Craig-era tailoring.

In this moment, that longer, softer silhouette suits a Bond acting as protector and fugitive around Madeleine and Mathilde. On screen, the coat is defined by movement and landscape. It reads against gravel, pale sky, scrub, stone, and water, with the long hem and textured corduroy catching wind as Bond moves between house, vehicle, and open ground. The Norway material was filmed with large-format framing in mind, which helps the coat stand out within the austere, expansive setting.

The object

Massimo Alba is an Italian luxury label founded in Milan in 2006 by Massimo Alba, whose earlier work included creative and design roles for cashmere and textile-led houses such as Malo, Agnona, and Ballantyne. The brand is known for a fabric-first approach, softly deconstructed tailoring, and artisanal textures, all of which are evident in the RAIN2 duster coat.

The RAIN2 is a made-in-Italy, unlined single-breasted duster crafted in fine cotton needlecord, often described by the brand as baby corduroy. Product and retail documentation identify details including classic lapels, a three-button front fastening, slanting welt pockets, button-tab cuffs, a back vent, and genuine horn buttons. Its lightweight, relaxed construction gives it a fluid, softly structured silhouette distinct from more rigid military or topcoat styles.

For No Time to Die, Bond-focused costume documentation identifies the on-screen version as the RAIN2 in the Agades colorway, an olive green or moss-toned shade worn in the Norway scenes. Massimo Alba’s own Bond-related editorial and retail material ties the coat directly to the film, noting that garments in the house’s baby corduroy were selected for No Time to Die in 2019 and later presented within the brand’s James Bond-linked “Baby Corduroy Edition.” In the film, the coat’s long line, muted texture, and understated elegance make it one of the most unusual and recognizable outerwear pieces in Daniel Craig’s Bond wardrobe.
