The scene
James Bond crosses Lake Altaussee alone, steering a narrow traditional wooden boat through the Austrian cold toward Mr. White’s cabin on the shore. The approach comes after Bond has traced White to Altaussee, and before the encounter that points him toward Madeleine Swann. In this stretch of Spectre, the landscape is stripped to water, timber and winter light, and the N. Peal 007 Cable Roll Neck Cashmere Jumper appears under Bond’s dark Dior Homme coat as he pilots the boat, then continues toward the jetty and the house.
The jumper plays directly into the cold-weather wardrobe built for Bond’s arrival in Altaussee. N. Peal has stated that it supplied the cable knit roll neck for Spectre, and the brand identifies the piece as the fumo grey cable roll neck worn by Bond in the Austrian Mr. White sequence. Costume designer Jany Temime said Tom Ford handled “one of the outfits for the snow” while she shaped what she wanted for the film, and the result here is a look that is both protective and exacting: a heavy roll neck that keeps Bond insulated, but also preserves the slim, controlled line Daniel Craig’s Bond favors.
On screen, the knit is never isolated as a showroom object. It is glimpsed in partial reveals at the neck and chest where the coat opens, and at the sleeves between glove and cuff. The cable texture catches what light there is against the darker coat, while the grey tone sits inside the sequence’s blue-black winter palette, giving the garment presence without breaking Bond’s guarded silhouette.

N. Peal is the London cashmere specialist founded by Nat Peal in 1936, and its identity remains closely tied to Burlington Arcade in Mayfair, where the flagship traces its opening to the same year. That long retail history matters here because the 007 Cable Roll Neck Cashmere Jumper sits squarely within the house’s core territory: classic British-facing luxury knitwear made in Mongolian cashmere and sold as a lasting wardrobe piece rather than a one-season tie-in. For Spectre, N. Peal specified this sweater as a 100% Mongolian cashmere style in a 2-ply construction, with a cable-knit body and ribbed roll neck, cuffs, and hem.
The screen-linked retail version is the Fumo Grey colourway, and current N. Peal product details identify it with style reference NPG000299JB_FUM. N. Peal also notes hand-wash care and manufacture in Inner Mongolia, reinforcing that this was not a generic licensed approximation but a defined production-derived model carried through into retail. N. Peal states that the jumper was designed specifically for 007 in Spectre (2015), and the brand said before release that it had supplied both the mock turtle neck and the cable knit roll neck to the film’s shoot. On screen, the cable roll neck appears in the Austria material when James Bond goes to the remote cabin where he expects to find Mr.
White, which is why the sweater is so strongly associated with the film’s cold-weather Mr. White sequence. Its afterlife is unusually direct. What began as a film costume became a continuing item in N. Peal’s officially licensed James Bond collection, later sold with 007 branding and packaging. Because it remained available as a named Bond product rather than disappearing after release, it has become one of the more accessible Daniel Craig-era screen knits for collectors and Bond wardrobe enthusiasts.
