Sorry to go backwards a bit (to the Matera scene) but can anyone bring me up to speed on the Brunello shirt with the Massimo Alba suit? Did we have a consensus on which shirt this is?
Since there are 4,000+ posts in this thread, I know there has some debate on whether Bond wears the slim or straight fit grey tom ford jeans. Can anyone tell me the big differences w/ TF’s slim vs straight fits with their denim? Is it more noticeable in the thigh, calf, leg opening, etc.? Any help would be much appreciated.

I will try to help answer your question without opening a can of worms. In my experience, the main difference is from the knee down. I've tried straight and slim. To me the waist and the thighs were the same. I even recall someone on here saying the
thighs were too tight on the straight fit pair they bought. When people go with their normal size in these jeans, they usually say they fit snug. If you go up a size, everything gets bigger not just the waist, the thighs, knee area and even cuffs.
In the pictures from NTTD that we've seen of Daniel Craig wearing them, it's pretty clear they are hanging low on his hips
meaning he probably went up a size, otherwise they would be sitting where they are supposed to. Never thought I'd see the day James Bond was "sagging" in his jeans. 8-) Guess that's retirement for you.

Hahah thats excellent. My guess is that grey pair has a little give to them so maybe they got a little stretched out over the day filming too maybe? Was thinking of getting a pair and normally im a slim guy but ive seen more straight cuts for better deals so i was thinking of just getting those and getting them taken in from the knee down a bit. In a perfect world paying that much for them id like to do as little tailoring as possible but if thats the only main difference thats an easy alteration. Thank you for the info that does help big time

Be careful thinking sizing down the jeans is easy, it isnt. Well if you want to keep the selvedge inner detailing in tact
For those who have seen in person the TF capsule (which is very stunning in my opinion ajb007/biggrin ), do you know if all the shirts do have cocktail cuffs or there are also french cuffs? And there are other colours or simply white and sky blue?
Do you also have some pictures of the tuxedo shirt?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Yeah I don’t typically like to really size down in any type of denim. I would rather be safe than sorry and just tailor any excess. But I was trying to determine how much and in what areas I might need to do that if I was to opt for the straight leg instead of the slim fit

From what I have been told:
Evening Tux shirt (cocktail cuffs)
White Tab Collar Shirt (cocktail cuffs)
Blue Tab Collar Shirt (cocktail cuffs)
Blue Shirt (cocktail cuffs)

007JBDCMWR is right. I would not have them taken in or tapered at all if you want them to retain their value. They are selvedge denim which is much more valuable than regular denim. Typically the selvedge stitching is in red like on levi's but on these jeans the selvedge stitching details are in blue. It's an old-school, fancy process done on much more expensive machines than today's. They last longer too. Whether you go straight or slim, personally the extent of tailoring I would do would only be hemming them if they were too long.

Wow i had no idea all the denim was selvedge. I just thought certain ones were. Never would have known this, I really appreciate the heads up. I guess I will just have to wait it out and keep looking for a slim pair I like.
I have a question for those of you who buy a lot from Tom Ford. I live a long, long way from one of his stores. Will I be able to buy any of these items online? From where?

Good question. BC doesn’t seem to have it on the site. I think I saw someone post a great cost effective alternative, but this thread is a monster to look through at this point.

I bought some Spectre items from the store in Marbella (roughly 200 miles from where I live - admittedly not a long way, but a trip there was not an option at the time). Just ring them and ask - most staff are kind and serviceable and will try to help.

This is the closest to screen accurate shirt from BC available, I think the buttons are a different colour maybe.
Correct
and as far as I know its a 'signature' piece from BC, they release it every season in different cuts (Slim/Basic Fit) and with different buttons (horn and white mother of pearl), but the one in NTTD has blue (mother of pearl?) buttons and it seems that this combination was never released by BC, hard to believe but the costum dept. must have changed all the buttons

I am torn between a 52 and 54.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Cristina at Massimo Alba advised me that the fitting is very large. She advised I go with a size 54 even though my normal size would be 56.
What size chest are you?
Normally a 46 inch chest.
I normally wear a 44” chest, so I’ll probably go with the 52.
Have you received yours yet? Or is it still on order?
I ordered from Mr Porter yesterday, got the last 54.

MA told me to go one size down, but according to the size chart, I should go two sizes down
I'm also a bit lost...

This was the alternative I found and posted to the budget thread and I think David is now about to review it: https://johnhenric.com/uk/shirts/blue-denim-shirt-oakland

Regarding Tom Ford - TF Milan seem very accommodating for mail order
Now I’m wondering if I should size down to the 50.
Does anybody have one of these that could comment?
