Do you think they actually make that suit in-house?
It was a weird choice, given Anthony Sinclair still offers it.

They have no factory so it is farmed out.

I have a repro of the TF navy Harrington and i wear it more than any other casual jacket in winter. I just got a lead on a repro of this cream test-shoot version that I may get (and would look better with denim):

Is that you Francis? I thought you didn’t do suit-and-tie any more?
Whoever it is it’s a good look!

Taken long after completing his contract with Eon, and during the promo for his new film Queer - where he looks like an alcoholic homeless homosexual.Its Daniel Craig mate - a subtle hint toDropbear
It is interesting to see DC’s style between films. Overall, I’m not a big fan - mostly sweatpants and sloppy layering with JMM sunglasses, but he does have some nice suits. While there was much talk about how his personal style influenced his early Bond films (like bringing in his fave brand Billy Reid), I think that was mostly marketing BS.

Ah OK apologies!Its Daniel Craig mate - a subtle hint to
I take DB‘s subsequent point. It’s hard to make out DC’s style these days. He was really into suits and no doubt had an influence on getting those Tom Ford sausage skins into the Bond films but I’ve seen some pics of him recently looking like a sad post midlife crisis dude casting about desperately for some street cred somewhere - and failing of course.

I’ve been leaning into this casual Bond outfit a lot this autumn. The TB black silk shirt gets a lot of compliments. I usually sub brown suede chukkas for the deck shoes, which I don’t love far from the water and with jeans. Not shown: the Barbour rain jacket he brought to Cuba, which left me underwhelmed (too short and flimsy).

Never know when some SPECTRE agent is going to try to walk into my home with his shoes on.

It’s a weird little hobby I’ve picked up, but it makes getting dressed a little more fun. Right now, I’m still struggling to match the taupe Bruno Cucinelli trousers he wore in the Morocco scenes in Spectre. It’s hard to match that colour (or even a little more grey to contrast the sport coat would be better) and also get something with a decent rise and fit (the Vuori chinos match the colour and fabric but are way too slim for me):
The originals:
My attempts to match (shown with the two jackets):
The film scenes (which are shot with heavy filters and saturation, so don’t really match reality):

As you know there wasn’t enough contrast in that outfit in the second photo. At first glance it looked like a suit. Rise too low, tie too short etc.
I came to the conclusion some time ago that rather than trying to emulate (cosplay?) exact facsimiles of Bond’s outfits it’s better to just take a little from column A and a little from column B and make it work for yourself.

I wonder if the contrast is better irl compared to film, but agree that a more grey taupe would be better - and the rise is def too low. I’d also prefer a little more contrast in fabric - those gaberdine chinos look sort of peached in some shots. I’d rather find something smoother when wearing with the suede jacket.
This is the original gear without filters:
For sure - I enjoy putting together a budget take on the original (or maybe improved fit) for fun, but ultimately part of the appeal is that they are all fairly safe, neutral, foundational garments that mix and match well. It’s mostly conservative staples in blues and greys with a bit of black, white and brown occasionally thrown in.

Currently reading this. There isn’t a lot in here that is really new, but still a fun review of the great London makers of the early sixties, peppered with anecdotes from the usual suspects (Foster, Sinclair, Fish and others).

Is that a bib or a tie?

It’s like he didn’t pay attention to a word Terence Young taught him.
Having created a character / persona that was the epitome of cool, just a few years later Connery (among others) managed to take a giant dump on all that had been achieved.

You can dig up a bunch of old pictures, where ties where that length. Might be because of vest-wearing.
