  I think that Daniel Craig will wear black trouser pants and white dinner jacket in Bond 23, I think this because if you go to the Tom Ford website it's got the combination.

  
  
  No disrespect to the Tom Ford line, but I sincerely hope not! - It looks like the outfit Humphrey Bogart wore in Casablanca! Not that there is anythig wrong with that style per sae, but I think there has been enough "retro styling" depicted in QOS. It doesn't work.
  
  As an aside, the silk robes on the site are horrible! Made from beautiful fabrics, styled well, then printed in patterns that look like they were confused with curtains or a sofa in a drug den nightmare! (Shudders)

  This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

  I actually really like the off white dinner jacket in the right setting, provided it has the right details(self faced shawl, single breasted). Admittedly though, I like the retro look much more than the generic Brosnan look. Funny that all the dinner jackets now have the turn back cuffs.

  As much as a I love a dinner jacket I can't stand white tuxedos. Its only personal choice I know but I really hope DC doesn't wear one in the next movie.

  C'mon, we got to have the White jacket/black trousers tux!
  
  It's a classic!
  
  Connery wore it in Goldfinger, and he looked great!
  
  Ford wore it in the Temple of Doom, and he looked great!
  
  I wore it on the night I first met my wife, and seeing as we're married almost seven years now, I can't have looked too bad... :v
  
  I would love Craig to wear this classic combination in 23!

  Don't get me wrong - if it was used briefly and in the correct context it would look good.
  
  I just don't have confidence (based on QOS) that it will be done properly. The fact there is an off blue and a flamingo pink one as well has me more worried!
  
  Mr White your examples are pertinent. - But I think the last one is the best! Nice work sir! Do you still have your attire?

  Thank you Thunderbird 2.
  
  Unfortunately no.
  
  I lent it to my kid brother for his graduation party.
  
  The short version: he got drunk and the suit got ruïned... 8-)

  Aargh! First golden rule of your formal attire - never lend it to ANYONE!
  (This is the owner of a Kilt speaking!) Shame.

  White dinner jacket on bond is a big no-no.
  
  As for the retro styling in QOS....what are you talking about? Nothing quite retro in that movie...
