Hello agents, I realize that there are many threads in this forum for sharing completed Bond costumes with each other. I hope it is alright to make one of my own!
For starters, here is my completed "Shanghai Outfit" from Skyfall.
H&M shirt and sweater
Banana Republic Tie
Indochino Trousers
Aldo Shoes
Accurist Watch
As far as accuracy goes, my shoes should be boots, and my trousers could use a little tailoring near the bottom (I'm venturing into Moore territory!) But otherwise, I am pretty happy with it.

we cant all afford the Tom Ford kit, as long as its within the spirit of Bond that's good
keep em comming
How about we use this thread to post pics of us in budget alternatives?
I think that's an excellent idea! A lot of my finds are from many years ago, but where possible I'll try to include the links for where to buy. Would love to see other people's completed outfits as well.
Today I'm rocking the Quantum of Solace "Meeting in Italy" look.
H&M cardigan and shirt
Primark Chinos
Primark Desert Boots
A pretty simple outfit to get right, but I'm technically missing a pair of passible aviators and a proper watch. Working on getting something Planet Ocean-esque soon!
Indeed, got a pair of williams on amazon for a great price.
Sole Eyewear has the Tom Ford William model for $209, which is much more reasonable than paying the full retail price ($400-500): http://www.soleeyewear.com/tom-ford-william-tf-207-17v-silver-blue-sunglasses/
They also have the "Marko" from Skyfall: http://www.soleeyewear.com/tom-ford-marko-tf144-ft0144-18v-silver-58mm-sunglasses/
Tiffany Case: And which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collars and cuffs match...
Barbour Commander Jacket
Amazon Scarf
Primark Sweater (£6!)
H&M Cords
Dr. Scholl's Boots (More like Dr. No am I right?)
Accurist Watch
I found this scarf here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005HDYQDM/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It only cost something £2 with shipping. It was huge! After cutting it down to the desired size, I'm happy to say it's pretty damn screen accurate.
I know Bond doesn't do up all 3 of his buttons in the films, but I kind of like being bundled up and ready to take on the day/Silva.
This was the outfit that got me into Bond clothing, so I'm glad I've finally completed it. -{
H&M Polo
Levi's 511 trousers in "Moonbeam" (not STA-PREST)
Primark Desert Boots
Accurist Watch
I'm a big fan of these trousers, but truth be told, I think 30 might be a bit snug on me, so I'll probably get another pair in 31 this year.
Indochino Suit
H&M Shirt
Tie from The Tie Bar: http://www.thetiebar.com/order_page.asp?pn=22119
Aldo Shoes
Accurist Watch
Love this suit! Doesn't have the cuffs on the trousers, and it's 2 button, but it works for me just fine. Once again, my shoes should really be boots though.

That's exactly the reason I shop there: they fit my un-Bond body! Won't be a problem when the day comes that I bulk up Mantis-style, but until then, they've got the best fit out there for North American buyers.
I think these Levi's are my favourite item you've displayed in this thread. I've got an almost identical pair (501's instead of 511) that I bought from a guy in Northern Ireland. I've never seen the same colour over here in Canada so I wonder if it's more of a UK thing?
You've got sharp eyes - I actually bought those from an Ebay seller in London, not from Canada, where I used to live as well!
Thanks! I got mine about 2 years ago, "The Essential Grey Suit". They still have it on the website, but it's a wee bit more expensive these days. One word of warning: although it is tailored, it is very traditional in fit, unlike the skin-tight Skyfall suits we're used to seeing Craig in. As I mentioned before, I had to get the trousers taken in. If you're going for screen accuracy, make sure the trousers are long enough to cuff!
