Watching Skyfall I can help but Think ( Just My Opinion )
That Ralph Fiennes Suits look Better than Craig's.
Although I can't seem to find any Information on Who
supplied them.
They seem to me to have a more Military cut to them.
I love to hear others views.

    Yes you are right here ,there was a mention in SF that RF came from Hereford, ( ie 22 SAS regiment ) so as a Rupert he would certainly have a military tailor,
    i dont believe the SAS have an assigned tailor ,as you go into the SAS from other
    units .So you would have your parent regimental tailor as your tailor,
    my mate was a sgt in the SIB RMP and the all wore pin/chalk stripe suits
    i think its a army thing (but the shoes always give them away)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Thanks for the Info. -{
    I thought another Designer might of been brought in By the
    Producers to give Mallory a Different look.

    RF is dressed as the older gentleman not the younger in style agent. Getting back to the older reserved M as before

    HEAR! HEAR!

    Mallorys suits are beautiful classic British tailoring. And as to the Mallory dressing up as the older gentleman compared to the (you can't mean it) younger??? Bond..... In SF Bond looks older than Mallory!!! :)) :)) :)) Even if his suits are spandex-tight!

    So glad someone has mentioned this, IMHO RF looks more like Bond than DC.
    Slightly off topic but have to get it off my chest, you would think with all modern technology they could make Craig appear taller on screen especially when he is with women,apart from JD they are all as tall or taller than him.this never happened to the other fellas :))

    It never happened to the other fellas as they were all over. 5ft 9' which is what I suspect DC really is (in general actors and studios are 'generous' with height details of male actors) and if 5ft 10 is the current claim (itself reduced from the original 5ft11 claimed, BTW if DC ever had been 5ft 11 surely they would have claimed 6ft)
    You are not alone, it bugs me to, but what can he do? In a way I applaud that he does little to appear taller apart from the occasional use of lifts.

    Straying slightly off-topic, for me Ralph Fiennes is the unsung hero of SKYFALL. An actor of immense gravitas, I thought he'd be a shoe-in to play a future villain at some point, but he brings a nice poignancy to his role making him most effective as a goody guy. I love the scene where he tips Tanner & Q the wink to carry on with their unauthorised activites.

    I'm not normally a fan of giving the secret service personnel more to do in the field. I've always felt they're better off stuck in Whitehall, but Mallory's been given such an intriguing backstory it'd be nice to see more of him throughout future films.

    Back on topic: He wears a suit very well indeed. Nice blues.

    I believe Timothy Everest was Fiennes tailor for SF, as per Matt Spasier's excellent blog.

    Hard to believe an actor of Ralph Fiennes status signed up to the role of M basically just to be seen behind a desk for a couple of scenes. I suspect we will see him in the field pretty much as regularly as Judi Dench's M was. And who knows, he may turn out not to be such a goody guy? Stranger things have happened.

    Wasn't as keen on the SF suits as those he wore in QoS, but still looked the part. Still not convinced as to why they went the "tight fitting" route, as the QoS tailoring & choice of suit(s) was pretty epic IMO.

    One thing I would add is that DC does do the casual wear side of things very well.

    Yes agree with agent moore than ,hope to see more of the new M in the field,
    but dont hold out much hope for his casual kit Barbour gamefair ,check shirt,
    cord trousres highly polished brown brouges typical army officer off duty kit,
    he probably shops in Cordings of Piccadilly (not thats its a bad shop on the contary)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?
