I saw the replica Quantum Suit on Magnoli Clothiers.
I've never seen a suit jacket with two hip pockets on one side and one on the other. Where does that style originate from?

It's called a ticket pocket. By the name, one would imagine that they originated as place to keep a train ticket so you don't have to go rooting in your pockets while the ticket collector waits and stairs you down. However, a type of ticket pocket was around before the train. It was used much in the same fashion by horse riders to hold coins for tolls. Now, they serve more as a stylistic flourish. They thus fall into the same category as the button hole on a lapel as a vestigial suit bit (unless you frequently ride trains I suppose). Personally, I like the asymmetrical look.

I still use it for my valet parking or coat check ticket.
To somewhat cover the original question of this topic, I noticed with every tie Bond wears, the silver, beige, and light blue, he has a matching suit. The gray suit with silver tie, the beige tie with the chocolate suite, and the midnight blue suit with the light blue tie at the party.
