Hi,
with this being my first post, let me begin by saying what a great site this is. It's been a pleasure reading thru all of the old/new posts and it's certainly been an education.
Since discovering it a few months ago (I know, shame on me for not posting before) I've bought the Persol 2720, ST Dupont diamondhead cufflinks and the Magnoli Montenegro tie.
Now I tought that it would only be fitting to have to suit that goes with the glasses/tie/cufflinks. Aka the one from the train ride and when Bond and Vesper meet Mathis for the first time.

I hope that posting the image is ok, if not please delete it.
I've emailed Indy and he thinks that he can start with the Quantum suit and make the necessary modifications.
Anyway, since there's a plethora of knownlege/expertise at hand here, any details that I should pay particular attention to ?
Indy seems to think that the colour is closer to Midnght blue in the movie while it looks like a dark grey to me. What do you think ?
Thanks for the help

Anyone know more?
thanks for pointing that out. I did notice the different ties but the suits could be different as well. As I do have the blue montenegro tie, maybe I should go with Midnight Blue.
What about in the scene at the outdoor cafe' ?
Thanks for the link. I'm also watching CR on my big LCD TV and I've found this site with lots of screen captures:

I'm still not sure if the suit is blue or gray.
You're right about the original suit most likely being a Brioni.
I'm going for dark grey. But more importantly dont you love Italy? Man, the are around the lakes is great.
But you know, you guys could be right. Two suits. One blue, one charcoal.
Now when's Indy gonna do that tie...?
As of right now I'm tending more toward what Indy suggested, aka Midnight Blue.
I'm hoping that someone who has the actual cloths samples, from the production, can chime in.
Second: I still maintain the train suit is charcoal with white stripes and not navy... Like I wrote before: why have Bond wear a midnight blue suit with stripes and have him wear a plain navy suit next... if a clothing change was in order it seems logical to go with a somewhat different colour scheme... furthermore, he wears a navy pinstripes 3pc suit in the final scene of CR. What would be the logic in having him wear a 2pc navy blue suit in pinstripes earlier in the film?... I go with: charcoal with pinstripes...
