Magnoli Clothiers & Baron Boutique are good places to get made-to-measure Bond suits at reasonable prices. You get to pick your fabric, colour, suit style, etc. Magnoli also does great replicas of many Bond ties. I know several members here have had good experiences with both places.

For a bricks & mortar option, you could always print off pictures of your favourite Bond suits & take them to your local menswear stores to try and find something similar.

For good quality, affordable dress shirts, I go to Charles Tyrwhitt: http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/mens-shirts/mens-formal-shirts?q=bbuk|||||||||||||||

And this site has become my favourite tie store: http://www.thetiebar.com/

Hi Jon, I guess from your username you're based in the uk.

T.M.Lewin have a range of good quality suits and always seem to have a sale on. I've bought quite a few from them, and the suits seem to last well as long as looking pretty good - plus they have arrange of slim fit suits which are a bit more Skyfall-style.

Thanks guys !!

I would advise against T.M Lewin, the fit to me seems just, off.

Here is my budget suggestion:

Next Italia:

3 colours and 2 fits, made of 100% wool and twin vented. Plus you have the option to get the waistcoat for a 3 piece Bond bonanza!

Try them both and see what you think! Fit on the TM Lewin has always seemed good to me, but I guess we're all different shapes and sizes...

Correct sir!

For what it's worth, on inspection the T.M Lewins all looked to be of high quality, with some canvassing and good stitching.
