Hi All, I wanted to get your comments on this fabric, if this looks like the right fabric/print for the first shirt we see from the first pictures of filming of Skyfall, please post your reply or send me a message.
I like it myself. Of course, I have an odd fondness for interesting geometric patterns.

Thanks for everyone commenting and posting opinions, for those people who don’t know me on this forum, I work in Clothing industry, I design, manufacture, import etc... I am working to get the information on who (brand) contracted this fabric to be made, the pictures and information on this fabric was sent to me by a colleague of mine. I know for certain till date this fabric of pictures sent to me was made by a factory in Madagascar, once I get the information on the supplier I would be happy to post and share the details with everyone, so we all can enjoy to have some more memorabilia in our closet.
Please feel free to write to me or post opinions or thoughts on the accuracy of the shirt.
Yes, I agree, that this is not the kind of shirt I would be interested in buying. And the same could be said of the Madagascar shirt... BUT, as I use Daniel Craig's Bond as a model of how to supplement my wardrobe, I'm sure I'll find a way to do it with this.
I haven't gone the Oxford Cloth Button-Down (OCBD to you style forum guys) route yet, this might be something that sparks interest.
Now onto the shirt - I orginally thought the shirt to be blue or lavender. Shows what I know! And I definitely don't see the grey trousers or desert boots being shown in the final footage (should we see the entire ensemble in a different scene). I picture something that more matches the leather jacket. Some beat-up khaki-colored chinos or jeans, with some brown loafers?
Mind you pay me DC's fee for Skyfall and I'll wear that pattern shirt for a year (in between it being in the washing machine to maintain hygiene standards) :v
Here is a pic of Mantis in a former job wearing a similar shirt to the Skyfall one. As you can see the Bond villians back then were different to today - massive ****!

My wife, too.
And my father when he was in the hospital.
Absolutely terrible, you know you wouldn't wear it under any circumstances, but somehow really alluring....
A vile shirt to be sure but still preferable to the awful one pictured above from Skyfall

Amusingly I actually own a shirt quite alot like the one in the Skyfall photos.
I know its not exactly the same, but makes quite a nice alternative I think! And yes, I do wear it regularly! )
The shirt is from White Stuff and was around £20 in the sale earlier this year.

Yup and here is the man himself wearing another nice little PJ top:
:v :v ) :v
I thought that was obvious :v
Or strip its weapon with its beak :v
