Too many open buttons. I'll take the Esprit though
Oh, hell yes.

Any good seller, please? thank you.The Barbour Tokito is a sweet jacket. You can still get the Commander B replicas on eBay pretty easy.
It's not just suits and sport coats:

That black silk shirt though ..If I take over this thread, the ground rules are there will be no Roger Moore discussion without my approval.
The Beacon is also a good approximation and has had some low sale prices recently. I regularly toy with swapping out my old Beaufort for one, but I don’t think they are anywhere near as practical. I think I also read that they use that awful sweaty rayon lining, but not certain about that.The Barbour Tokito is a sweet jacket. You can still get the Commander B replicas on eBay pretty easy.
I just remember the Tokito I spent months searching for and which fits me horribly
Yeah I can't imagine it'd be a good fit for you.
I have a Dubarry Carrackfergus which is a similar cut, but a lot less pockets and straps which I found super annoying.
I don't think the Tokitos fetch as much money these days as back when they were a craze if anyone is interested in them
doghouse , do you always to do a best/worst for the suits? I know most guys pan the slim Tom Ford suits, but I still like them. Slim, but not still a good length in the jacket. Lapels slim but overall a good balance.
I mean best/worst is pretty easy, Sinclair and Haywood were awesome, then a whole lot of hot garbage.
To me, the TF could have been ok, but it was button popping tight. It was just several sizes too small. The Brioni suit at the end of CR was actually pretty nice to look at.
That Sinclair suit does look nice. Any idea where they are making their stuff these days?
I saw a reference to “The Italian Factory” from five years ago, but it also looks like they have recently altered their line considerably- no longer offering RTW, everything is MTM or bespoke now.
I dunno man, that thing looks two sizes too small to me. And the sleeves are like 4 sizes too short.

I love a good tight tshirt! I’d agree if the criticism was leveled at this one (Omega product placement sleeves and too much waist suppression):Dropbear I'm with doggie - that suit is pretty bad. Slightly better than a tight T shirt but it just doesn't "hang" as a suit should.

Tight suits aside, still some bombtastic production here.
A few more I stumble on tonight.

Love that low button-stance. And while not a fan of the collar's proportions, it still fits the jacket perfectly.

Skinny lapels and shrunken collars.

.gif, but look how that moves on him. Amazingly tailored, yet still not constrictive.

Nope - no collar gap here.

More of this, please.
I need to take a photo with the lights on...The top photo is painted in our office. Probably 15 foot in height.
No, the home of James Bond. The film studios. Although I do have lunch next to Eon's offices occasionally.Do you work for EON

The original
Oh nice, I never knew that. You'll have to set me up for a tour next time I'm in the UK!
I found another pic. Trousers are a bit slim and those boots look awful, though I’m struggling to imagine what sort of footwear would work (not loafers or anything Pitti when you are about to get in extended chase and gunbattle).If that jacket was just a tick longer that would be a fantastic suit
