    House of Martin Margiela I believe.

    I believe the chunky dark blue shawl collar cardigan was by Maison Martin Margiela, and at least one of the other cardigans was by Tom Ford. There are some great articles about Craig's TGWTDT clothing here:

    Thanks for the links Blu8, definitely going to look at them later today when I get the time!

    And interesting that they went with Margiela as I don't recall seeing the trademark 4 stitch detail on the back of any of the cardigans. Looked for any similar cardigans made by Margiela right now, and it seems like they aren't making any shawl collared cardigans. :(

    You must have a very large budget if you're even considering buying one of the Margiela ones... If I recall correctly they were even more expensive than TF cardigans. As for the labels I would not worry about them much becuase Craig was wearing also a Moncler jacket in the film and the label on the front was missing.

    I think its pretty much impossible to find Cardigans from that era now, they were prob not even made in large numbers with such designers.

    There was a Margiela Shawl cardigan on Ebay a few years ago that was identical but wrong colour. However this is a standard design and many knit wear places sell them.

    Here is mine which I bought "influenced by the film" when he is walking around the street etc solving he photo mystery. Its very chunky indeed and it gets that hot wearing it that I only do when it is snowing!!! :)

    Funnily enough I watched this film for the first time in ages over the weekend. I think it is vastly underrated and due to it being an American remake gets a bit of a unfair "hammering" by critics.

    Will be interesting to see if the other two gets made however to be honest the first film is such a great standalone story, the others a lot weaker with the eerie mystery gone since it was revealed in the first.

    Thanks for the info guys, guess Margiela is just done with the shawl collar cardigans for a while. :(

    If you don't mind me asking, how much are the Tom Ford cardigans? Closest TF boutique is several states away for me.

    I guess it's around $1500 US

    James Bond: I tend to notice little things like that - whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette...
    Tiffany Case: And which do you prefer?
    James Bond: Well, as long as the collars and cuffs match...

    I had to buy two because I have a navy one with screen accurate buttons and then I found a black one with the horn buttons.
    so between the two I have the QOS SA one :)

    Aren't you tempted to switch out the buttons? :))

    I like the horn ones too although not SA and I would not attempt the swap myself or leave it to somebody else. I would have to take the cardigans at the TF store in Oak Street here in Chicago and they would charge me a premium for that. So I'll keep them the way they are.
