Suit is definitely Tom Ford, and it appears that the tab collar is indeed back. I'll be heading over to TF next Tuesday and will confirm, but I'm thinking it's an O'Connor suit. Also to confirm the tie bar.
Decent shot of the suit and shirt here, looks like a Prince of Wales check ? Maybe ? This is taken from Mason & Sons (excellent) https://www.instagram.com/p/By8GrreALr8/ Instagram account
Hate to say it but for my personal taste I'm not a fan of tab collars or tie clips...
it’s pretty fussy for Bond. A lot of people have ragged on Pierce’s “flashy” Brioni looks over the years. I expect the same level of derision over these choices. :v
The jacket in the picture looks more sage than tan or khaki like my Billy Reid Reversible Shirt Jacket — but my gut tells me it's the one.
Why? First, my jacket tends to change color a bit depending on the light and can look grayer in muted conditions. Second, the nylon of the Billy Reid jacket has a faux distressed look that can be observed in the jacket in the picture. There are faded lines in the material that makes it look like waxed canvas from a distance.
Im guessing if TF are gonna do another SPECTRE Bond capsule collection thing again then its likely nothing is available yet until 2020, but you never know )

Yeah, I wanted to thinking the same thing, but we all know how the Morocco tie and black bow tie thing went down too.
Ok. Not crazy about the tie clip (as seemingly no one is) but the suit is beautiful. And yes, the tie looks extremely similar to one of the Spectre ties. Might even pass it up unless there's a clear diff.
It's only ten months until release, and my excitement keeps going up. Glad to be back on track!

I like the tie clip, it was only a matter of time until Bond wore one on screen. I dont really like the tie though. This one looks to be similar to most of the Spectre ties which were nice but very plain. I liked how the TF ties in QOS and SF had unique but subtle designs on them that made them standout.

Would much rather see a grenadine or a knit if they was to go with a solid colored tie. Plain repp ties are just so boring...
I wish I could tell you I was an art scholar, but sadly I'm just someone who likes a wild goose chase and was keen to test Google's ability to see past the Prince of Wales. Evidently, it's pretty bloody good.

Billy Reid? Owners please advise.
Tab Shirt and tie clip?

Unlikely, unless you think those cuts on his face are real and were not applied for filming.

It would be nice to know for certain!
Possible match to the tie similar to the spectre ink tie however close up photos don’t show diagonal pattern like spectre ties.

Wish we could get the ID on that painting or a full view of it. In Skyfall, there was a different painting up that kind of winked back at the plot.
Just for a laugh. He likely watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RXdusySjsk

Really love the suit! Also if I’m not mistaken, that’s an Omega deployant clasp on his wrist, possibly attached to a leather strap?

Is it the Highbury or the Norwich?
