ANYWAY - initially I was kinda suspicious towards the Rome outfit (3-piece suit) but now that I saw it in a Tom Ford promo on Instagram I have to say that it looks pretty freaking decent - James looks very mature in it. But also like someone mentioned before - Harvey Specter comes almost instantly to my mind... Even the same sunglasses, probably a coincidence but still - Harvey's style was based on McQueen's and Bond's combined so it's pretty ironic now that Bond looks actually like Harvey in season 3 of Suits

This is basically Tom Ford's signature look, which he established before Suits: a black or charcoal three piece suit, jacket with peaked lapels, black tie (though Ford's is usually knitted and not woven like Bond's), and white shirt with a pinned collar.
This has sure gotten off topic. First with the car, now with the age...
Give us some interesting clothing info to discuss, then
Is lack of something to talk about a reason to take a thread off topic?
So you think we should just remain silent rather than a brief detour in reply to another posters' point of view in the absence of some fascinating new clothing factoid?

I don't think we should remain silent. There are many other things to discuss than clothing in many other threads. I come to this thread hoping to find out more about the Spectre wardrobe and instead find something unrelated. There's no point in keeping this topic going with unrelated material when that material could better fit a non-wardrobe-related thread.
I love the DN/QoS style bow tie! But the second button and satin silk-faced lapels and pocket jets make the dinner jacket look like a cheap rental. The bright side is that now you can get a cheap rental dinner jacket that looks like something Bond wears. But this can't compare to the excellent examples Bond previously wears in GF, DAF and OP, all perfect.

I think the facings might be grosgrain. Take a look at the hi-res version of the poster released by Sony.
I like the poster, despite the nit picking and obvious lack of real gusto behind it. Good mix of colours though. One thing I noticed is that the Omega 300 NATO is conspicuous by its absence in comparison to the previous teaser poster where it was a teaser within a teaser. I wonder if the decision to hide it was intentional ? It is clearly tucked away with not even a hint of strap or case. It would have beee nice to see a glimpse, as a watch pervert.

Yeah you are probably right Mr Gatsby, it just reeks of interference from someone or other. Omega's marketing people don't seem to have the best of reputations when it come's to ideas. Oh well, shame.

That's how It's done, product placement. The only way to generate the budget needed to make a great bond film with multiple location around the globe.

yep....just received mine today from them...GREAT!
One question, slightly off topic - maybe in a few months I will be able financialy to buy a pair of TF sunglasses, if you had a choice between the FT0108 (I know the price is absurd...), the FT0144 and FT0237, which one would you buy first? ?:)

TF144 Marko's.

Hard one to answer as the aviators are soooo different to the wayfarer style. Depends what suits you...
Persol 9714s get my most wear, but really love my tf108's, just keep them for best given their continuous rising value ! Snowdons just arrived and North East UK suddenly seems to be heading in to winter, so not worn them out n about yet. Do like them tho...
Anybody else have quality issues with their Markos ? Over time both nose pads popped off and eventually a lens.. I have a pair of $20 AO military aviators that have withstood 3 years of wear at work... bombproof... but those danged Markos were delicate...

Exactly the same problem here. I loved the look, loved the way they felt, but lost one nose pad and the screw in one side of the frame sheered in half causing the lens to fall out. Because the tiny screw was severed, no one could retrieve it so the best repair job offered was to solder/epoxy the frame together with the lens in place. The fix worked, but I rarely wear them for fear that they'll pop open again and be unwearable. I contemplated buying a replacement pair but figured it would likely happen again and therefore didn't bother. I contacted Tom Ford but received nothing in reply.

FT108 is the collectors item. The other sunglasses are just Regular Tom Ford ones and as mentioned in other posts - not the same quality as Persol's, Oliver People's, Cutler & Gross and Loro Piana. If I had a choice I would go either with the Persol 714 Steve McQueen Edition or the Loro Piana my sunglasses n.2 in the dyed black.

Interesting how you define a "shitstorm" ?:)
Well one thing that is unquestionable is that I'm not as serious as you?
OFFICIAL THEATRICAL POSTER
You are forgetting in Skyfall he'd been lying around for a few months with depleted uranium poisoning his body.
Makeup?

Okay, but that doesn't make it any better.
Agreed.
I was just making sure
k5211,
The producers I'm sure would be asking for another vault of $$$ to include Omega in the official poster.
