Matt Spaiser analyses the suits of George Lazenby’s James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and draws an interesting comparison with Daniel Craig in Skyfall.
James Bond fans know George Lazenby as the man who played Bond in one of the best films of the series, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Before Bond, Lazenby was a car salesman, a mechanic and a model. Except for in a few commercials, he was not an actor. Despite his limited acting experience, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was still an excellent film due to its great story, capable director and talented cast. From his modelling days, Lazenby knew how to wear clothes and director Peter Hunt (with costume designer Marjory Cornelius) brought his own fresh new fashion sense to James Bond. Lazenby’s suits had an increased English flair and were at the height of fashion in 1969.

I always loved Lazenby's style in OHMSS. His suits were just right and fit perfectly. I also appreciate the fact they managed to be classic and contemporary at the same time.
