Yep, what Matt said....lots of things point to this being the one from the Norway scene (and subsequently filming at Pinewood) but until we get 100% confirmation we are always reticent to give it any absolutes. BR did have to supply two different waves of this jacket though, in different sizes.
So, following up on Drake's crosby moc-toe chukka boot, there are some "tell" sign on the actual boot, that will help.
The boot has a crepe sole and a lighter coloured band between boot and sole.
There is a sown on ridge at the back of the boot (I'm sure it will have a technical term, that someone will educate me on!). There is also arched stitching, but this does not show clearly even in some close ups, never mind the resolution we currently have available.
There is also a sown area on the inside of the tow, which is a key sign of whether the Drakes's boot remains a possibility or not.
Boots also come with large and thin laces - just for information!
From the stills (and it would help enormously if someone has a better resolution on these pictures!):
Crepe soles and lighter coloured band can both be seen.
There appear to be indications of both the ridge up the back of the boot and a line down the inside of the left boot, where the Drakes stitching is- hard to be conclusive though given photo quality:
No real sign of back ridge on this photo, but possibly angled so it doesn't quite show as you can from my photos above also:
The front looks good, possibly with the wide laces!:
Colour options of the boot that could be close are brown and tobacco - but pictured with Italian light (very different to English) - then I think the brown are most likely.
So if anyone has a better photo of the free fall photo below that might really help.
I think the Drake's are still in the game, from this!
If anyone can access better quality photos, they would be good to see!
We might also get some identifiers on the shirt - is the collar button down or standard collar for example (possibly a BC Chambray/Denim shirt?)...
Scroll the images until you see the guy (green shorts) and look at the neck.... it's the same! Obviously wardrobe department have cut down the shirt and aged it considerably - but all the details fit.
Now the biggest tease - scroll down to 'About the product' and read the line "An OB Hero fabric" - what's interesting here is that ONE other t-shirt, made of the same fabric, is described in that way. The pink one! The other linen t-shirts are described differently. Maybe we will also see him wear a pink one??????
The other, not so clear indication, is the thick hem line around the sleeves - which has appeared in other images, although it does look like wardrobe have messed with this too?
It's all in the details ;-)
Look at this link for Sunspel…. we can surely say it's NOT theirs.... as the neck is totally different (much tighter)
Had a hearty laugh at the idiot "reporter's" claim that a real DB5 worth millions was destroyed during filming of the chase. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) They built replicas for filming. There's video of Craig showing off one of them to Prince Charles.
what a minute... time out... you mean to tell me that a high end respectable internet journalistic treasure like "metro.co.uk" has no freakin' clue about the topic of their own articles ?!?!? ) ) One of the articles I read today stated that they were also busy filming Bond 25 on Lake Como - and had a shot of the final scene of Casino Royale attached - (with a photo credit at the bottom of the image dating it back to Casino Royale) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
I had an extremely interesting chat with my contact at Brunello Cucinelli yesterday. Whilst this is strictly unofficial and unconfirmed, the photos of the stunt double on the bridge are not of a BC suit, shirt, tie or shoes. His team don’t think the bridge outfit is BC. He said that Tom Ford, as we know, have a contract with the producers to supply the suits for DC, but, as is his way, DC has influence in the wardrobe choices and has chosen a few BC pieces. My contact did say, however, that they are supplying an outfit for one of the scenes in Italy- similar in concept to the desert scene in Spectre. A jacket and trousers not a suit, plus a pale blue shirt and shoes. I will have all the details plus links at the end of September. BC are supplying many of the shirts for the film, as well, he mentioned. This is all non-official, as a caveat, so this may all change.

You are the man in the know Blair !
Interesting stuff BC shirts and shoes jes I'll need to remortgage
Thanks for an unofficial scoop looking forward to the next communication.
Exciting stuff

It is strange, though, as the unstructured cut does look like one of theirs. I’ll let you know as soon as I do. He did mention that the pieces would be available.

The unstructured cut looks like theirs, but the details of the jacket do not. The shape of the lapels doesn't look like theirs.
I just picked up the OB linen T shirt that some folks here have speculated is the grey T Bond wears in Jamaica. The details are all close — the neck and arms especially — but the fabric has a sheen to it and a different drape that doesn’t match the photos we’ve seen of Bond on set. It’s the difference between linen and cotton, I think. It’s a very interesting shirt: definitely a step up from your everyday grey crew neck. But I don’t think it’s the SA shirt.
In the title reveal video Bond steps out wearing what is likely this films dinner suit, what details can you guys make out?
If my eyes don't mistake me I spy gauntlet cuffs on the sleeves! It's a good time to be a fan of Connery's Bond's wardrobe details, considering cocktail cuffs are back too.
Plus no vents or at least side vents make it an instant improvement on the last two dinner suits he's worn. I've got to say, improved fits for the suits and classic details are making me excited for the new films wardrobe
They're not boots, they are shoes. They look like they could be the Alex again, but it is difficult to tell.
Not the Alex as the Alex is a whole cut and those aren't.

Do you have a sharp-enough photo where you can see the details of the shoes?
Nothing more than what has been posted before, I just put the video full screen and you can just make lines on the shoe for a toe tap etc. Can't work out what they are but those lines wouldn't be there on an Alex.

I too have that T shirt so soft on and lovely feel to it.
Handy if it was the SA one but I don't think so , its not the type of t shirt to wear on a beach.
Personally I like wearing it with jeans in a cool evening
This T shirt might take a while to identify I reckon

So, I think the stunt man on the bridge is highly likely to be Bond. There are various pictures/videos of the driver of the Aston Martin wearing the same jacket, which adds support to this.
I also had confirmed to me today, by Massimo Alba that this is their suit which was supplied to the film for DC (the guy had bought it himself because of the connection). The collar, buttons, curved base, seam down back, 3 buttons and 4 sleeve buttons all fit. It also has some texture from photos and that’s due to fact, the actual suit is in a baby cord. They have evidently also supplied a coat in the same material for the film.
Unfortunately it seems to be sold out in Europe at least from SS19 season ( Massimo Only had a single size 46 left in stock from my attempts), but don’t despair, as they will re-release in SS20(also they will release in same suit black at same time). My contact will let me know so hopefully we can get some pre-warning.
So it looks like another of Daniel’s favoured personal brands gets onto the screen.
I have a 52 on order from YOOX at the sale price of £250 + p&p, but suspect this maybe too large, but at least will get to see it and then either return and wait or pass on if anyone interested. YOOX I think may have another 52. Naturally some may want to wait until we actually see Daniel in this, just in case it still turns out to be Blofeld - though he would have had escape and also hijack Madeleine as she appears to be in the car too!
These are screen shots of the suit. If anyone finds one out there in size 50 and does not want it, please PM me!!!
It's different but it's a nice suit, not Bond's usual sort but I can see it working. The shoes are also ok, what throws me off on the whole outfit is the shirt and tie.
For a cord suit in that color I would not choose either a medium blue shirt or a burgundy tie alone, forget about both together.
