Yeah Skyfall's wardrobe seemed way more true to character then SP, Besides the much maligned suit tightness Bond's outfits seemed less "costume-y" if that makes any sense.
If anyone wants one of those BC belts, they have one back in stock at Saks off 5th. It is NOT the Morocco belt. It's the one with the regular, non-center bar buckle in the darker brown. Size 38

Cant believe that this film is just about four years old now, how time flies. Still my favorite period of ID'ing and hunting down Bonds wardrobe.
I'm late to the game here, but agree completely. I wear Skyfall pieces most days of the week and am still planning on picking more. It's amazing how the influence continues to be strong, where as with Spectre I haven't bothered with any of the items (I enjoyed the film, it just didn't stick with me like Skyfall). Glad to see others feel the same!
Also, does anyone else fee like the 2010-2012 period has a massive influence on their wardrobe? Besides Skyfall I've got a huge collection of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo pieces. And the Nike Sweet Classic High's, which I believe are 2009 or 2010 vintage. Odd how such a specific set of years can have such influence.

Yeah I really think Skyfall was the beginning of the boom on Bond clothing. I remember how this board was filled with new members, a lot of whom haven't posted since 2012/13. I don't think SP's clothing ID'ing period was as heightened or exciting as SF's. Out of boredom at work recently I reread a lot of the Skyfall clothing thread and its interesting to see the initial derision for Bonds attire to almost universal approval once the film was released.
I agree 100%, for me personally Skyfall is a fantastic example of professional attire and how to dress oneself. The fitting people might not agree with, however no one complains about the color matching of ties to suits or choices of the items themselves.

absolutely, I also think Skyfall had the best ties in the series since Connery. The ties in Spectre are nice but I don't know why they made them slightly wider then the Skyfall ones.
While some of the outfits in Skyfall and Spectre are good, imho the clothes in QoS are by far the smartest and most appealing. The Greene Party suit and tie, the Tallamone outfit, the PCS navy pinstripe etc are all perfectly cut and elegant. By contrast I'm not a big fan of the suits in Skyfall which are a bit too pale, and the too-narrow pinstripe in London I'm not a fan of. And much as I love the Morocco outfit in Spectre, those massive desert boots kill the look (again, just my opinion). Though I love the Skyfall Lodge outfit, and the BR peacoat. -{

Really? Not a fan for the London Pinstripe. Happens to be one of my favorites.
I always found it very interesting how the Greene Party Suit was such a popular item. I like it but I much prefer the Spectre Sharkskin Blue. Agreed on the Tallamone outfit, just fantastic.
Charmed, which is your favorite suit if I might ask?

QOS does have a near perfect wardrobe as well but it think it copies Steve Mcqueen a bit too closely at times.

Hi Stefan -{
I guess it has to be the Greene Party suit which we see quite a bit of. It's simple navy and elegant, so for me a more business-like suit, one which won't stand out for the wrong reasons. After that I guess the navy pinstripe PTS.
But I also really like the dark blue (French blue?) Mexico/blofeld's lair suit (is that the Sharkskin Blue one you refer to?)- I bought one like it just before Christmas in a mohair blend in the sales at the tailor I go to.
Which is your favourite, Stefan?

I could see that in regards to the Greene Party. The Sharkskin Blue that I refer to is the Mexico/blofeld lair.
Hard for me to nail a favorite, but it has been the Skyfall PTS suit. I find that the one that I am most desiring at the time is my favorite and once I own it my fixation switches to the next one. However the first one I bought was the Skyfall PTS and while I did put it up for sale for a small period of time, I couldn't go through with a sale and will not ever sell it.
QOS does have a near perfect wardrobe as well but it think it copies Steve Mcqueen a bit too closely at times.
I do agree 100% Did not seem original IMO. Don't get me wrong it was really awesome, but was a Mcqueen copy. This isn't intended to downgrade QOS, Mcqueen is a style icon and has been forever. So its not a bad choice to copy.
In Skyfall, I thought the Shanghai and Scotland outfits were very unique and really incredible. Not a copy from anything I have seen.

Exactly, the Skyfall casual outfits were way more original and seemed truer to character.

Absolutely nothing. I thought this was the Spectre clothing thread ....
