From a budget conscious standpoint... I enjoyed the reasonably acquirable jackets from Skyfall wherein the most expensive was the Barbour at around $700.. (still steep on a cop's salary but I still snagged it along with the BR and the Menlo).. The SPECTRE wardrobe went waaaaaay out of range - especially the DIOR ! Even the Matchless was a no go for me... I'm just hoping that the next film has items that are attainable... or that Daniel Love steps in and hooks us up again Because admittedly.. I do get more satisfaction from supporting the likes of him as opposed to Matchless or that wing nut Tom Ford
Completely agree.
Just purchased a used Billy Reid peacoat in mint condition for 300$. Brands like Tom Ford would be a no go even in secondhand.
Looking for a ROYALE Filmwear Talamone Shawl Collar Cardigan, size medium. Preferably in Europe, but the US would work as well. Feel free to send a PM!

I really wish I'd bought the Menlo back in the day. Practically impossible to get now as far as I can tell - at least in a small.

Keep the faith - they do turn up on eBay periodically, but you need to use search terms like Menlo, Levi’s leather, Skyfall jacket - as they are frequently described differently by sellers. I snagged one last year at a steal using this tactic. Good luck. -{

Plus.. as it may be an unpopular commentary... not only is Tom Ford overpriced.. has anyone ever read some of his interviews.. the guy is a nut job.. I'd be fine if his name was nowhere near Bond.. his personal character is the antithesis of the actual literary Bond.. I mean... uhhhhhhh... there was this :

I don't think its that unpopular honestly. A few of my friends who own a lot of TF clothing and accessories have still expressed a desire for Bond to drop the brand. Which will likely happen after Craig leaves anyway.

He's gay, so it's not that odd. There are much crazier things one could say. But I do think it's odd that he takes five baths a day. He's an unusual man, with a fantastic eye for design. There are far worse people who could be making Bond's clothes, like Brunello Cucinelli.

Just read in the B25 forum that Jany isn't returning. to quote Miles Messervy: "This really opens the door in the sartorial department!" Do you think we'll see a return of the SF/SP style suits or get something completely new?

I hope we see something similar, but better-fitting. Trouble is, Craig was just as much to blame for the poor fit as Jany. It could be academic, though. Even if he gets in shape, Craig is not going to have the waistline he had in Skyfall, so suits that tight might not even be anatomically possible.
I actually think they should let Tom Ford design the costumes. {:)
On this same forecasting tip, Bruno Cucinelli has a $7K pea coat. Let's hope not, for Bond's (and our) sake:
If a peacoat does return it would be great but unlikely if it was the BR again since it made headlines back in 2012 and has become one of the most iconic pieces from the Craig era.

Amen.
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Brunello Cuccinelli?

The cut of Brunello Cucinelli’s tailored clothing is too relaxed and too Italian for Bond. Also, I don’t think it’s even a well-executed version of what it’s supposed to be, which makes it even worse. The fit is strange, and particularly unflattering on Daniel Craig’s frame. At least the too-tight Tom Ford suits are properly structured and have a British look.
Is it just me or is a lot of Tom Ford stuff "inspired" by (i.e. ripped off from) other designers? The shawl collar cardigan is incredibly close to the old Steve McQueen cardi, several TF sunglasses are identical to Persol etc etc
There are plenty of British designers & firms - both traditional and modern - that could be used; I'd like to see more of them in the next outing.

No its not just you, its been known and discussed on here for years. Though I love most of Tom Ford's wardrobe contributions to the character I agree the next Bond should return to Turnbull & Asser and other British tailoring brands. It seems likely Tom Ford will be back for B25 but we might get a different suit style then SF and SP since there will be a new costume designer.

QoS Polo = Sunspel Polo (IIRC)
Spectre Solden Jacket = Moncler Jacket (I've seen the correct one on eBay and the model name was ID'd and can be found with a quick search on this forum)
QoS Sunglasses = Oliver Peoples Airman (insane shameless ripoff pretty much lol)
Although, IMO, the cardigan and harrington are OK because they're just a general jacket design that he just "brought back."
But the ones I mentioned are nothing short of shameless ripoffs.
This is just wishful thinking on my part, but does anyone think there’s a glimmer of hope that Rolex could replace Omega in Bond 25? With the changes to both the costume designer and others who have worked on several Bond films, perhaps this isn’t outside the realm of possibility? We know Craig is a fan of Rolex in his personal life, and as his influence on the films has increased, many of the brands he favors have shown up in the films.
Further, the release of the “Commander” watch last year seemed odd and rushed. Maybe Omega’s contract was up and they wanted to cash in one last time? Again, just fun speculation on my part as I would love to be rid of Omega.

I'll respectfully disagree here... suggesting that bathing too often is odd.. but yet suggesting men should be sodomized so they can relate is "not odd" just because he's good with it is absolutely off the rails crazy... )
Has anyone heard rumblings about a Bond 25 costume director? I assume this person is in place and working diligently as we speak.
Jenny Eagan seems a likely possibility. She's worked with Fukananga on his most recent series 'Maniac', 'True Detective' season one and his film 'Beasts of no nation'. Her last listed project is 'knives out' so she's already worked with Craig recently as well.
