Help...
I am at a loss to figure out how many different suits DG wears in QOS. Appart from the navy pinstripes suit from the pre-title sequence (which is missing the vest to be really truc to continuity from the end of CR)he seems to be wearing the same charcoal 2 button suit with ties that look almost identical one from the other (with maybe the exepction of the tie from the last scene with Vesper's former boyfriend)...
So how many different suits are there in this film ?

    I'll go into further detail for you, there in order of appearance:
    1. Siena - Blue pinstripe suit, gray shirt?, blue tie?
    2. London - Black suit, white shirt, gray tie. He is also wearing a single breast overcoat in Mitchel's appartment
    3. Plane - Brown suit?, white shirt, copperish gold tie
    4. Party - Navy suit, white shirt, light blue tie(same pattern as with the london tie just different color)
    5. Final Scene - Black suit?, white shirt, copper tie. He is wearing a double breast overcoat in this scene but different than the london coat. This coat is the one being sold in Harrods.

    I was wondering if anyone knows the exact name/tag number of the black overcoat DC wears in final scenes? Is it on the Harrods website, I cant seem to find it. Thanks

    Price of the Tom Ford Overcoat would be very appreciated. Also if it's not too much to ask, see what colors they have in stock. Thanks

    i was checking out some pics of the QoS suits and noticed something worth noting. Most of the suits in the movie are not two button, but instead 3 button with a roll lapel which hides the third button. Just thought i would mention it for those in search of replicas.

    Okay, I'll check on it. I was at Tom Ford's retail store in Milan this weekend, but I didn't look at the pricetags of those coats. Prices in general were way above my limits anyway.

    Yes they have the look of a 2 button but like he said they are three button rolled. Here's a pic: http://s274.photobucket.com/albums/jj258/monza860/James%20Bond/?action=view&current=QoSTie3.jpg
    It's also worth noting that all his suits have three pocket flaps.

    After seeing the movie today for the forth time I would like to add some further details.
    1. They all have a white pocket square
    2. There all double vents
    3. They all have 3 buttons, but the lapel is rolled down to the second button to look like a two button suit.
    4. They all have turn ups on the bottom cuff of the pants.
    5. They have side adjusters, he doesn't use a belt with his suits.
    6. All the suits have three pocket flaps.

    The turn-ups on the pants has been a trend on almost all Bond suits (except dinner suits, of course) going all the way back to the Connery days. It's pretty interesting because it's generally considered less formal. Hardy Amies had only four words to say about them in his book on fashion, "You can't have any."

    Personally though, I think they're a nice touch and that pants generally look better with them. It might also be related to the fact that all the Bond actors are around 6' tall... it balances the look a bit.

    I am sorry for the silly question but can someone explain what a "turn up" is? I would assume we are not talking about a pant cuff one would see normally on pleeted pants.

    Turnups = Pant cuffs.
