Not helpful just yet but as an observation April 12 is when non-essential retail comes out of Lockdown here. If still an issue then I walk passed the shop several times a week usually so happy to pop in if still an issue. DM if so.
Plus, a little bonus. Don't think they will appear in the final cut (but, who knows?!), but from some BTS Léa Seydoux wears a pair of Maryam Nassir Zadeh black patent leather 'Palm high' sandals with her Rouge Gabin dress. The triangular shaped strap is particularly evident here

I received my replacement buttons from Connolly and they seem small/the wrong color. Has anyone found other buttons that they used on the Giubbino jacket?
I'm considering purchasing the Connolly jacket, but am worried about the fit. If you don't mind saying, how much do they charge to ship a return with the included label? (I'm in the US as well)
Just a quick PSA: it looks like Thread.com has the Connolly jacket on sale for $483 and they have free shipping and free returns within 100 days. But they only have size large and XL in stock
I'm honestly not sure if that's the "screen accurate" jacket or not with regards to buttons ...
Cheers!

The fit on the Giubbino (which I also own) is funky! And we still don’t have a great sense of how it fits Craig since we’re working off clips and stills. If you were torn between large and a medium, I can just about guarantee that you’ll be happier with the larger size. I wish I’d gone up.
I have a pretty short torso, and a near 40 chest, so I'm assuming a medium is probably the better fit, but with all the people needing to size up, I'm not quite sure I'm ready to potentially spend near a hundred bucks on round trip shipping. Plus, I am tall, so my long arms need longer sleeves. Also, I've been seeing here that this run of the jackets runs small. Hopefully the large is perfect and I won't need to send it back and place an order with Connolly, as I've read here that the customer service isn't always good.
If you have long arms and are tall, (over 5'10) you probably need a size XL, maybe even a XXL, the jacket is very short and the arms are cut short as well.
I really hope not, because then it'll definitely be too wide in the shoulders. If the large is too short in the arms, I think it just wasn't meant to be haha.
I'm pretty happy with the way the replacement buttons look. I just had them changed by my tailor, here's the result:
That looks great! Thanks for sharing! Maybe a dumb question, but are you using a basic hanger for this jacket? I have mine on a basic wooden hanger but was thinking about getting a wooden jacket hanger since it’s an expensive piece.
Yeah just a basic wooden hanger, probably from Ikea lol. I don't really see much point in spending a stack on a fancy hanger for a soft jacket like this.
I've always been a fan of the Skyfall look more than the others; the shawl collar, pocket handkerchief, marcella shirt with pearl studs, narrow bowtie and wholecut shoes are all really good-looking. I think the jacket should have two vents rather than one but everything else is spot on.
Personally, I think it's too early to judge NTTD's tuxedo (or costumes) for that matter. So many of the choices were made to fit the particular colour palette that Fukunaga was trying to create. Hence the strong focus on primary colours. In set photos or stills it can seem a little odd. But when photographed on film, they look totally different.
Nonetheless, I think the NTTD tuxedo is terrific. I like the bowtie and the fit of the tuxedo. Craig looks stunning.
🍸🍸 Just spotted that we have he same order! TBH I was thinking about the clothes in general in each film, not just the evening dress. Bond's elegant casual outfits in QoS are a far cry from what I've seen of NTTD's outfits, IMO.

I think haven't posted it yet. Here's the sandals Madeleine wears while in Matera with Bond: Castañer 'Chiarita' espadrilles wedge sandals. For more info, go and read the very detailed article by Remmert (https://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/product/casta%C3%B1er-chiarita-espadrilles-wedge-sandals).

Even more amazing detective work 😳🍸
Thanks a lot 🙏
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I got in Contact with Connolly, Stephanie to be more specific.
The ConnollyxFinamore shirts are all gone with no plans of a second run any time soon.
Hope you get your refund.

Hi guys,

I seem to recall it was somewhere between $25 and $30 via USPS.
FWIW I finally got a response from Connolly, but it took nudging. My shirt is on the way!
I see, thank you. I decided to order a large from Thread, so if it's too big, I'll go for the medium from Connelly. No return shipping costs that way.
Glad to hear you're getting the shirt after all!

I really hope that Erin Benach gets the gig as the next costume designer. I haven't even seen NTTD and Suttirat has outstayed her background.

Looks great! Lovely fabric on that.

What are people's favourite tuxedo look from the Craig era?
Skyfall for me. Although I quite like them all 🍸🍸
1) Skyfall
2) Spectre
3) NTTD
4) CR
5) QoS
1) QoS
2) CR
3) SF
4) SP
5) NTTD
1) QoS - by a wide margin
2) = CR/SF
3) SP
4) NTTD
I've always been a fan of the Skyfall look more than the others; the shawl collar, pocket handkerchief, marcella shirt with pearl studs, narrow bowtie and wholecut shoes are all really good-looking. I think the jacket should have two vents rather than one but everything else is spot on.
Good order C&D😉
QOS is a real marmite choice. It's either right at the top or at the bottom.....
