Article on suits in TWINE - translation please?

urhash · June 2012

I found this article in Italian about the suits worn in TWINE, would anyone be willing to translate?

http://www.liveinmagazine.it/that-s-life/bond-style-the-world-is-not-enough.html

The page also contains information about suits from GE and TND, but those were discussed in older threads back in the day (e.g. http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/34397/brioni-and-churhs-in-ge/)

I tried Google translate, but some things come up strange. " with pleats stitched on the front" I would assume means darts.

Some things are incorrect, at least from the translation:
"At the opening, Brosnan appears in Bilbao with a complete worsted wool charcoal, model Augustus, with a single button at the waist,"

"a full windowed [windowpane] gray partridge eye cut in reverse, Augusto model, with two buttons life and side slits."

"So in Azerbaijan, in a dress of gray grisaille, Augusto model, with two buttons at the waist "

It's quite obvious in the film that those three suits have 3-button fronts. I'd assume "grisaglia" was translated to "grisaille," but the fabric is known as pick-and-pick or sharkskin.

The article was done in collaboration with Brioni (as were the articles on GE and TND), so perhaps something is being lost in the translation. The use of the "Augusto" model on the jackets is consistent with the earlier movies, although I believe the "Snello" (slim) were used in GE. Here the pants are referred to as "Delta".

Brioni's information isn't always as accurate as the eye. There were some things incorrect in the GE article as well. The article mentions "Snello" trousers worn with the blazer, though they aren't the same as the "Snello" trousers in the rest of the film. All the others have double reverse pleats whilst those have triple reverse pleats and look far from slim. The article mentioned the dinner jacket is worn with a 6-button waistcoat (which would be incorrect with a dinner jacket), but the one in the film is a proper 4-button waistcoat.

Matt do you know if Brioni still offers the Augusto jackets?

I don't know. I would suspect they have new, trimmer models now.
