It looks like they got the pockets wrong; they should be on shallow slant. The lapel roll isn't right, it needs to be higher. And they need to get a sharkskin cloth in pure wool, not a blend. They're going by the 70's definition of sharkskin, which was a polyester blend. Nobody should ever wear that,

Matt would you say that cloth wise, the Barons Boutique is the better suit?

Though the Baron Boutique cloth is wool, it's Super 160s and that makes for a very flimsy and delicate cloth, especially in that price range. High super numbers are best avoided with inexpensive cloths. They wear out very quickly, especially if you plan to wear your suit as tight as Daniel Craig does. That puts a lot of unnecessary strain and wear on the cloth. I wouldn't get either cloth. And both places get the lapel roll and the pockets wrong.
Also, Matt, I would love a little primer on lapel rolls. Specifically the difference between them on the QoS and SF suits. Maybe a future article for your blog?

I tried to be as thorough as possible, and I hope it makes sense. As far as the suits in Skyfall are concerned, the lapels are not rolled to the middle button. They are rolled to just below the top, and the chest is pulled open further because the suit is so tight.
