Costume designer Jacqueline Durran comments on the (amazingly stylish) style of Tinker Tailor and Tom Hardy’s lovely jacket:

We also loved Tom Hardy’s jacket.
It’s one of those things. We decided Ricki Tarr [Hardy’s character] was a kind of Steve McQueen figure. But that style has been fashionable for so long, you can never get the original garments in that style. They’re too collectible; they’re too precious. You can just never find them. So we went to Belstaff, and that is Belstaff’s Steve McQueen jacket. I was nervous at the beginning because it’s such a strong statement, but I think it looks very good on Tom Hardy.
