Crockett and Jones

So out of the Crockett and Jones shoes / boots Bond has worn, which is your favourite?:

Also... can you name the scene which the shoes / boots (from the link above) appear in Skyfall / Spectre?

Off the top of my head...

Skyfall PTS - Tetbury
Skyfall Lodge - Islay
Skyfall London / Shanghai - Highbury
Skyfall Casino - Alex


SPECTRE PTS / London / SPECTRE base - Norwich
SPECTRE Mr White - Radnor
SPECTRE Tuxedo - Alex
SPECTRE Rome - Camberley

Others did not make the films

Bond wore the Tetbury in the Shanghai scene, and he must have had two different pairs in the same style - one pair from when he gets shot off the bridge, and another pair for tracking Patrice in Shanghai. Also, in SPECTRE, he is given the exact same shoes by Blofeld to wear as he has already been wearing earlier in the film. I always find it funny to see little things like this that probably 99.9% of people who watch the James Bond films just wouldn't care about.

Unless they were in his suitcase lol? Wasnt it only the suit on the bed?

Remember "they are everywhere!" Even when your trying on a suit in a TF changing / dressing room

Jellyfish

Also, to answer the original question, probable the Tetbury boots, although I've not owned any Crockett and Jones shoes.

welshboy78

Only prob with my Tetburys is they crease badly compared to my others!!!!

Possibly, but that would mean he had three pairs of shoes with him. The suede boots, the Alex shoes with the dinner jacket and the Norwich shoes.

Globe Trotter challenge - 2 pairs of shoes (since will be wearing one pair), Tux, matchless jacket in a suitcase (presume room for his undies and socks too)

Prob ditched the Tux after Hinx got hold of it !!!

Jellyfish

The Norwich shoes wouldn't match anything though. The suede boots go with the Matchless jacket, polo and chinos and eventually the tan jacket and trousers. The Alex shoes go with the white dinner jacket. Is there a suit that we don't see that would have gone with the Norwich shoes? I also think that if Blofeld is hospitable enough to provide a suit, shirt, tie and socks, he would provide shoes as well. This makes me think how many different outfits does Bond, tough-as-nails, ex-Special Forces, hard-drinking killer, need at any one time? He probably has more than Madeleine! Also, I'm loving that we are debating the fashion minutiae of a fictional character with such thought and consideration. I have no idea why anyone would consider it daft...

Ah..you forget he had a hold-all for his socks and jocks! )

welshboy78

I thought that was for all his sunglasses?

Jellyfish

I'm trying to list everything Bond had with him when he got on the train:
Wearing:
Matchless jacket
Tom Ford polo shirt
Chinos
Suede boots
Omega watch
Underwear
Socks
(Possibly wearing) Tom Ford Henry sunglasses

In his luggage:

-First outfit-
Tom Ford white dinner jacket
Evening shirt
Trousers
Cummerbund
Crockett & Jones Alex shoes
Braces
Bow tie
Cufflinks
Buttonhole flower (unless he got this from somewhere on the train)
Underwear
Socks

-Next outfit-
Tan jacket
White shirt
Brown tie

-Maybe-
Norwich shoes (although I have to disagree with Welshboy; I think Blofeld supplied these)

-General-
Shaving things, hair products etc

Have I missed anything? I'm now thinking of the theory that I have heard before, that Bond is a Time Lord, which explains how he is the same person but with different appearances. Perhaps the suitcase is an extension of the TARDIS???

welshboy78

LOL

If my memory serves correct you see him picking the carnation from the table and placing it on his jacket just before Madeline walk into the carriage!

UNCLE27

An interesting exercise.

You've missed his PPK and ammunition, mobile and charger, spare socks and Sunspel underwear...

His suit is also exactly the same as three other suits that he wears in the film, except for the cloth.

welshboy78

Passport, Wallet, Rennies?

Good point. Blofeld minion's follow Bond everywhere. Even when he goes clothes shopping, they are there, lurking behind the displays of Floris aftershaves and shaving bowls, making notes of the exact cut and fit of Bond's purchases.

I have a Globetrotter the same size and one a size smaller than Bond's and you could get all that in there without too much of a problem.

Jellyfish

Oh. Maybe he's not a Time Lord.

Surely the Norwich would go with most suits?

Generally, the Norwich shoes would go with many suits. My point was that they do not match any of the outfits that Bond has packed for his Morocco trip.
