This looks identical to the QOS suit

  Nice suit
  
  Didn't the QOS suit have a ticket pocket though? I'm sure the QOS suit was dark grey but I could be wrong.

  Don't think it's identical, but this is a nice suit for a very nice price!

  And I believe the QOS suit was actually a rolled 3-button...

  I never said it was the QOS. Just from a distance and first glance looked remarkably accurate.

  Are you sure the breast pocket is curved? They all looked standard to me.
  
  The QOS suit jackets are 2 button with a 3 button roll, ticket pockets, and 5 kissing buttons on the sleeve. Bond keeps the last button unfastened.

  And one more thing.
  
  I've not tried this MTM suit service, but you can design a near replica bond suit on the cheap, if you are interested. Options for ticket pocket, pick stitching, and button number all there. It's a good few hundred cheaper than the magnoli replica if anyone is willing to compromise. Additionally, you could use this service to make Bonds tuxedo in casino royale. I'm 100% positive his tux does not have satin on the lapels, so you could go the route of a 1 button suit, non vented jacket here.

  Thanks very much for that link... I may very well give them a go.

  Wait before you do that. I emailed the company for more information. Their auction says they use "tropical wool," which would infer a 150s wool....but after a bit of pushing they admitted to me they use a 35-65 cotton polyester blend. I'd stay away. Polyester on a suit is a big no go.
  
  Their auction is misleading. If it was worsted I would have given it a go.

  Thanks for that warning! {[]
  
  Polyester is most certainly a no-go!
