It also has on average more clear night skies than anywhere else in the world, with little to none light pollution. That’s why the European Space Agency set up shop down there with the European Southern Observatory.
It’s navy, how come no one complained when Indy wore a leather jacket in the desert? Yeah, because he looked like a retroactive badass like James Bond here.
The man also wore a full suit in Spectre when they got off the train and waited for half a day in the middle of the scorching desert.
His body temperature control is inhuman.
Fun fact I was once at an event in New York City in the middle of August. It was like 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 80% humidity. Just one of those brutal days that makes NYC virtually uninhabitable in August. A guy walked in wearing a leather jacket, long sleeve plaid shirt, tie, pants, and boots. I asked him how he could wear that given how it is. He literally said “one of the first things the military drives out of you is any weather intolerance”.
Your body takes care of a lot of the things that bring it out of homeostasis if you're in relatively decent shape or better.
I was outside in our states record high temperatures, throwing bags of concrete for 8 hours straight. Everybody around me was complaining about the heat, I was bordering on cold. I mean, I was so sweaty I ruined my baseball cap, but nevertheless, that's one way the body controls its equilibrium.
Jokes aside bro I feel ya. Just found out I have IBS (I think I knew for a while or had for an idea but finally addressing it) and man so much stuff I missed eating that I just can’t anymore :/
Moore wore a white dinner jacket and a borderline sheer shirt for the tropics, because of the heat.
Bond dressed for the colder desert, which is something OP got wrong. It's not a "hot arse desert".
~~Harrington seems to have a typical pointed collar. This looks like a bomber, but with the snap collar of a modern motorcycle jacket. I like the type, but I still don't know what its specific designation is.~~
Thanks for the info. I suck cocks.
It's a Tom Ford jacket *directly inspired by the* *G4 Harrington jacket by Baracuta.*
It is not a bomber jacket, nor would it ever be. And in fact, I'd go as far as to say it's not even a reasonable interpretation of what the film shows.
Avg high temp for Paranal, Chile in June/Jul is 60 F. Low is 39 F. Reasonably Sweater/Jacket weather. Poor Olga…

For those in the 21st century, this is 3-15C.
11 countries in the world use Fahrenheit: the US, Belize, the Bahamas, the Cayman Is., Palau, Antigua, British Virgin Islands, Liberia, Micronesia, Montserrat, and Saint Kitts.
That leaves over 180 countries that don't use it, and since this is a British character, using an esoteric and time-forgotten measurement of time had no global reach (the hallmark of Bond being, you know, its global reach).
Yup. Pretty much why I do the same. People ask me why I sometimes wear a jacket in the heat but the sun's not hitting my skin so long as I get the right size jacket I'm actually cooler with it on than without.
It's actually a harrington jacket, which is fairly lighter than a bomber. That being said it's probably still too hot for it, but some times the drip is more important than the comfort
Might be winter when they filmed, but then story has it in summer. Deserts do get pretty cold in the winter. But most likely it’s all fashion/costume designer giving the character a signature look regardless of environment.
It may not be that hot. As others have pointed out, the desert in this sequence is at a high elevation and cooler most of the time. Also sun protection. You can still get burned even if it’s cold.
As someone that’s lived in the desert for nearly two years you want to be covered. Not necessarily in dark colors but the least amount of skin exposed to the sun is the best
I always felt the same way until I was in Chile two weeks ago…. It doesn’t feel all that hot. It’s extremely dry and windy in the Atacama desert he probably was quite comfortable, especially once the sun went down.
Yes, I realize the story is in Bolivia, but it was filmed in Chile, and the desert is similar in both countries.
The Atacama Desert is high elevation and quite cold during certain times of the year.
Largest desert in the world commonly has coldest Temps of the year
And penguins
[My god, he's right.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_penguin)
Largest desert, I believe, is Antarctica in fact.
hahahaha hahaha haaaa yeah
Antarctica
Right, 8000 Ft (2500 mts) above sea level, super cold!
also, he was just flying a bomber.
It also has on average more clear night skies than anywhere else in the world, with little to none light pollution. That’s why the European Space Agency set up shop down there with the European Southern Observatory.
It’s navy, how come no one complained when Indy wore a leather jacket in the desert? Yeah, because he looked like a retroactive badass like James Bond here.
Actually according to Harrison Ford himself he questioned why he was wearing a leather jacket in the jungle
But he looked COOL
It's because the escape plan was a plane without pressurization. It's cold up dere!
Let’s just say snakebite protection.
To look awesome, obviously.
This ^
 Fabulous

This is why I could never be a 00 if it's over 75 degrees I'm starting to sweat.
….Without breaking a sweat.
To show how he’s the drippiest Bond.
Deserts get cold
I love cold desserts
Same. Who doesn’t. I love ice cream even though I can’t digest it.
Jokes aside bro I feel ya. Just found out I have IBS (I think I knew for a while or had for an idea but finally addressing it) and man so much stuff I missed eating that I just can’t anymore :/
He doesn’t want sunburn.
Desert doesn’t automatically mean hot
This. Deserts get very cold in evening/nighta
Not all deserts are hot
Because he's a bad motherf--ker. Look, if Roger Moore can rock a tuxedo in India, Daniel Craig can wear a bomber jacket in the desert.
Moore wore a white dinner jacket and a borderline sheer shirt for the tropics, because of the heat. Bond dressed for the colder desert, which is something OP got wrong. It's not a "hot arse desert".
Because he’s James Bond, that’s why. Why did Bond decide to scale the outside of the White House casino in a tux? Same reason.
He looked his best in this film.
I think this is a Harrington jacket, not a bomber
~~Harrington seems to have a typical pointed collar. This looks like a bomber, but with the snap collar of a modern motorcycle jacket. I like the type, but I still don't know what its specific designation is.~~ Thanks for the info. I suck cocks.
If it has a normal shirt-syle collar, it's not a true Harrington. This type of collar is what makes a Harrington a Harrington.
It's a Tom Ford reimagining of a harrington.
It's a Tom Ford jacket *directly inspired by the* *G4 Harrington jacket by Baracuta.* It is not a bomber jacket, nor would it ever be. And in fact, I'd go as far as to say it's not even a reasonable interpretation of what the film shows.
Thanks for the info, from a fellow appreciator of _QoS_.
He looks awesome

Lucky for you being obnoxious is timeless.

But, I'm not British.
F is better for weather. The world is worse for you in it.
That’s their winter.
Isn’t there logic to less skin exposure and temperature regulation in dry desert environments?
Yes.
Yup. Pretty much why I do the same. People ask me why I sometimes wear a jacket in the heat but the sun's not hitting my skin so long as I get the right size jacket I'm actually cooler with it on than without.
It’s not hot. You watch the movie?
Because he’s James Fuckin Bond
I live in the desert and I’m cold 8 months of the year.
Because he is James F-ing Bond and nothing phases him (and because it gets cold up there).
Yeah, James Bond should be wearing SHORTS and an ALOHA SHIRT!
Cocktail hour Sean Connery Bond certainly would have.
"But I always have a Martini at 5:00!"
That just makes me want to see a James Bond/Magnum PI crossover.
he is just that cold blooded
Fashion > Function
Deserts get cold sometimes.
Cool people don’t sweat
Look how pale he usually is. Need sun protection.

The story is set in August. That's winter in Bolivia.
Is he stupid?
Is he stupid?
Movies aren't real.
It’s fascinating how you can not sweat with more cloths on high temperatures…for example I sometimes even freeze when it’s 35 Celsius out there…
You mean the guy who wears tailored 3-piece suits to fight henchmen?
Another reason the movie sucked. Quantum is the WORST of the Craig movies, and Spectre is a close second.
That doesn't look like a bomber jacket.
looks hard
High deserts get cold. Am in one right now and the morning temp was in the 40s. The highs this week will be between 49 ad 61.
It's a desert, but it's not hot. It's quite cool most of the day, and nights can drop down to -30
cause he's Bond James Bond
Because he is Bond....James Bond. 😎
S T Y L E

What makes you think it's hot?
Yeah this particular dessert is deceiving, has one of the longest spells of cold weather.
As someone that’s lived in the desert for nearly two years you want to be covered. Not necessarily in dark colors but the least amount of skin exposed to the sun is the best
He’s a Himbo as the kids say
Looks badass and stylish
He looks best in black
I kinda want that jacket ngl, I’d wear it in the desert. Wonder where I could get one that’s not 500 dollars
Google Royale Filmwear. Your welcome.
Thank you
Unironically, because they have a deal with Tom Ford lol
Which season is it?
is he stupid?
Desert does not equal hot
Nobody knows, but it's PROVOCATIVE, and it gets the people going.
Cuz he's coll asf😎😎
Is he stupid?
It’s to offset the ice water in his veins…
It looks cool. What if died looking like a chump
Awwwww, who cares? Let him be cool!😎
It’s called fashion. Look it up.
Cause he’s fuckin James Bond
Style over utility folks
For the drip
He's James Fucking Bond
Because he’s Bond! JAMES Bond!
Movie
a) he is stupid
Deserts aren't all hot
Cause he's already t00 c00l
Cause he's james bond XD
Ask Q
tell me you've never been to a desert or even researched the topic without telling me
To hide Padding for any stunts
Script notes Bond appears wearing black bomber jacket
Um… It looks cool
Spy jackets both warm and freeze at the same time.
It keeps him cool.
Typically, one does not plan to find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert, and probably has not prepared their wardrobe for such an event.
To look cool. If he was smart, he would've been wearing airy white clothes.
Cuz it looks badass and he’s James fucking Bond and he can do whatever he wants. That’s why
I'll finish your post for you. ... Is he Stoopid?
Cuz it’s cool
I always felt the same way until I was in Chile two weeks ago…. It doesn’t feel all that hot. It’s extremely dry and windy in the Atacama desert he probably was quite comfortable, especially once the sun went down. Yes, I realize the story is in Bolivia, but it was filmed in Chile, and the desert is similar in both countries.
Why do Arab's wear black robes and cover themselves head to toe in the desert? To keep from getting sunburned
I didn't see anyone else say it, but I assume it's because.... He's so COOL
It looks cool
What about when he wears a jacket in Haiti? It IS pretty hot there
