In terms of the boots in this scene, it's obvious they were never John Lobb, as they look nothing like them!
My bad in that case, I have to admit that I was never actually trying to look at the details because of two reasons: firstly because I thought the problem was already solved and secondly (most importantly) - I can't afford these probably anyway! )
But still - I'm thrilled, every time something new from 'Casino Royale' is identified it's like discovering a whole new land for me.
Not sure what the boots or the pants were, but, after 2 long years, I have finally put together my frugal version of this outfit. So, I thought I would share because I have loved this outfit for a long time.
Shirt - Sunspel - 135$-150$: I got the right shirt because I just don't think any alternative works well. I can't recommend these shirts enough either. I've heard mixed reviews about these shirts, but from my experience, I've owned 3 now (2 navy, 1 sky), they last and stay good a very long time if you wash only by hand in very cold water and let them hang dry.
Pants - Levis 511 - 40$-50$: Slim fit trousers. Unfortunately, I cant remember the exact model. These fit tight, but don't have the "boot" cut bottom; but, I can live with that... for now
Shoes - Alfani Lane Suede Chukka boots - 50$-70$: I was hesitant about getting these at first, but I finally pulled the trigger and have no regrets. I have dark brown Clarks, so that's all I can compare them too. They are more of a structured boot, and, for the price, keep very well.
Watch - Invicta pro diver 8926ob - 70$-90$: This was my first diver/Bond watch. I've had it for about 2 years now. I have had no problems with the watch. I go swimming with it and it has not fogged. I have it on the Spectre NATO, which is a great sporty approximation to the rubber strap. I switch out to the Connery NATO for my Connery inspired outfits.
Glasses - Persol PO3028S 24/31 - 200$-300$: These are my only sunglasses at the moment, so I wear them with everything. They are not as sporty as the correct ones, but what can ya do? I bought this model because I love the folding feature and they are my alternative to the Goldeneye Persol.

Say whaaaaaaaaat? All these years we've been living in lies in that case!

I think all of Bond's dress shirts in Casino Royale were by Brioni, and the tuxedo shirt was made by Turnbull and Asser.
Yes. Or in British English, Brioni made the formal shirts and Turnbull & Asser made the dress shirt.
