James Bond in Skyfall, 2012 — as worn by Daniel Craig

01
The scene
James Bond wears this cashmere jumper during the climactic final act set at his ancestral Scottish home, Skyfall Lodge. After arriving in the Scottish Highlands with M, Bond changes out of his metropolitan tailoring and into this crew-neck sweater as he prepares the dilapidated estate for Raoul Silva’s assault. He is seen moving between the stone house, the surrounding moorland, and the improvised traps laid around the property, often layering the jumper under a Barbour jacket while working alongside M and Kincade to turn the lodge into a last redoubt.
The garment marks a primal return to Bond’s roots, replacing the polished espionage wardrobe seen through most of the film with something quieter, softer, and more elemental. Its cashmere construction protects against the Highland cold while also making Bond feel unusually exposed on a personal level, tying him to the history of the place rather than to the armor of his profession. During the defence of the lodge, Bond navigates the interiors and grounds amid gunfire, explosions, and close-quarters combat, including scenes where he arms himself with the Anderson Wheeler Express Double Rifle.
On screen, the saturated blue knit stands out clearly against the muted browns, greys, rough stone, and wintry light of the estate. The tone subtly complements the overcast Scottish landscape, making it one of the most visually legible pieces in Bond’s Scotland wardrobe as the film contracts from global pursuit to a deeply personal confrontation.

The object
N.Peal is a London cashmere specialist founded in 1936 by Nat Peal, with early roots in Burlington Arcade and a long-standing reputation for luxury knitwear. The 007 Crew Neck Cashmere Jumper sold by N.Peal is the direct commercial continuation of the round-neck sweater supplied for Skyfall, where Bond wears it during the Scotland sequence at Skyfall Lodge.
The piece is a lightweight 1-ply, 100% cashmere crew neck with a smooth fine-gauge construction, a classic round neckline, and ribbed turnback cuffs. N.Peal identifies the screen-matched version as the Blue Wave colorway, and the official style reference for that version is NPG000132JB_BLW. The close-bodied silhouette and fine knit match the sweater seen on screen rather than a heavier field-style ribbed knit.
N.Peal has described the Skyfall sweater as part of the visual palette for the Scottish Highlands finale, and later brand materials tied the Blue Wave shade specifically to that setting. Contemporary costume coverage also notes that multiple examples were supplied to production for filming. The garment became especially significant in the brand’s modern history because Skyfall established N.Peal’s visible association with the Bond franchise, a relationship later expanded into dedicated 007 collections.
Current brand materials also describe the jumper as being made from high-quality Mongolian cashmere, reflecting N.Peal’s emphasis on luxury sourcing and cashmere craftsmanship.
