I guess its like Spectre when there was lots of "we have pieces on Bond" claims from Matchless / Neil Barrett etc etc...
The costume team were in TF London appt after my fitting (which I booked in on off chance it was DC himself)...
But if David says TF are in I bow to his sources.
I'll spill what I heard. Ralph Lauren had bagged the suiting (wanting to re-invent their high end menswear and seperate it from the discounted lines / outlets etc)...
And that came from within TF and a source in RL ho...
So maybe its just one piece they are supplying? Personally hope so as TF sort of sits with DC for me now...
Surely RL would be a better suit for Leiter? I've always found the Brand as typically American where as TF does take a lot of inspiration from Europe.
At first I thought we might see some Burberry suits when I first read Marks post.
I wonder how the Thom Sweeney suits at the reveal came about. Were DC and Cary both wearing the same suit?
Nah - they are diff suits (fabric wise anyhow)
Believe not the first time DC worn TS (as per past posts from whats daniel wearing) as well as Burberry, Brunello etc so would not read too much into it regarding Bond

If it's RL it would have to be their Purple Label line. They're made in Italy by St. Andrews I think. But RL doesn't really say "Bond" to me. Maybe I just don't see the brand as being exclusive enough. Could definitely work for Felix though, as Chriscoop said.

You are correct that RL’s clothing generally has American influences. But their suits are actually cut with more English-influences than American, at least to my eye. Ultimately, I don’t care who makes the suits (within reason). I care what they look like on screen. TF, for all of its exclusivity and quality, looked like trash the last two films. I’ll take a classically styled RL suit over a sausage-casing TF 10 times out of 10.

Agreed, just well fitted suits would be a welcome return.
Damn it. Would of been a great watch reveal if opposite arm lol
This is the best image I could find for his watch. It definitely looks like a dive watch on a nato strap but it's hard to tell which color the strap is but my guess is gray.
P.S. how is everyone able to get your uploaded images to show up in a larger format?

NICE.
Since Bond may no longer have his MI6 expense account, I'm going to guess it's Marks & Spencer or Men's Wearhouse ...

Check it out, you won’t be disappointed
Our expectations for Bonds clothing has fallen so low.
Did the choice make sense when you heard it, or was it a bit of a head scratcher when you found out?
Not sure really, it was a bit out of the blue...
But I think we will see a slightly more traditional fit that will delight Matt

I am sure we will find out soon enough....
For the record I am a fan of RL as well!

Think the purple line would be too mainstream as would need to be mtm etc

I definitely do not like those sunglasses and I agree they do look a little feminine. I'm wondering if sunglasses are from Person?
